reflection 5

 During our last AEP meeting, the topic was all about crafting standout college essays and identifying the values that resonate with us the most. Our teacher gave each of us a list of values and asked us to select ten that we felt deeply connected to. She emphasized how important it is to choose values that truly reflect who we are, as this helps bring authenticity and personal insight into our writing. By weaving these values into our college essays, we can create something that not only stands out but also feels deeply genuine to the admissions readers.


To be honest, I don’t remember all the values I chose since it’s been almost a week, but one value that has stuck with me is privacy. For me, privacy is essential. It’s not just about keeping things to myself but about having control over what parts of my life I choose to share. In a world where everyone seems to want to know everything, privacy allows me to keep a sense of peace and autonomy. Nothing is more frustrating than feeling like someone is prying into matters I’d rather keep private. There’s power in being able to decide what to reveal and when, and that’s something I truly value. Privacy allows for self-reflection without the pressure of others’ opinions, giving me the space to grow and understand myself better without external influence.


The exercise was given the same by the same person as last week's person with the great intro and the drums. Miss played the audio from her speaker and we did the exercise. Other than that, I felt like the exercise was really fun because it gave me a time to really think about what I really like and feel what's important in my life.  That's it for my reflection 5 this week yayaayay!!!!

Blog 3.3 Almira

 I haven’t written a blog for quite a long time, and I also haven’t attended aep class for 3 weeks because I went to vacation in Boracay and there was the Musicals and the most recent one was the Holy week, to be honest I dont really remember what we did for aep for the past few weeks I was in class and as long as I can remember we did scrabble and did our seatwork. I dont know what to write about since I dont have anything to talk about the class since I was absent for quite a long time, anyways for the past few weeks I was  absent from aep class I did some cool activities and visited two different islands.  Roughly two weeks ago, I went to Boracay for vacation since it was Eid so we decided to go there for a week I had so much fun there and I really enjoyed it because I went snorkelling and did some other water sports activities. Now the second time I was absent for aep was because of the musicals, it was techinacally a holiday but I think I kinda enjoyed it unfortunate...

the cost of giving up — Leowyn Blog 3.3

 Today was the assignment of the final, retrospective blog we would do to encapsulate everything we've seen and learnt in AEP for Grade 11. It's a miracle I'm still smiling across the hallways, filled with days where I'm really just like "what is happening?" This year has really went by so fast and so soon, so here I am, in the final stretch of the year, seeking solace in the summer break (which I won't be getting due to college applications and my AS Levels.) Here's the rundown of what we've done in each term, paired with the titles of my blogs on those terms: Term One: eternal sunshine, ***Flawless, The Joker, Repeat Term 1 was one of the most grueling terms for me in AEP, mainly because of the unit topics. Learning business terms and political terms even though I explicitly said, to everyone in my life, I would never touch a business topic ever again ... but there I was, running around with 'gerrymandering' in my head 24/7. It was good p...

3.2

Helloooo!!! How is everyone?? Yup, I am late again, like always — and this time, I really am not sure what to write, as I am constantly getting demolished every day with Cambridge. If you were wondering where I was all this time… well, I was just doing past papers!! OKAY — so this blog was due weeks ago, and the reason I missed it (it’s not procrastination this time!!) is that I was absent during the last two weeks of classes that semester. For one of them, we had our stats mock for Cambridge, which I wonderfully failed, and for the next absence… I don't even remember what happened to me. Maybe I was just dead doing all the past papers. Sorry, Miss Disa — I began procrastinating midway!! Well, I’m going to finish this now. This semester, we started doing lessons on environmental words. It was a pretty easy chapter and fun lessons! Too bad I missed most of them. Anyway, on the first day, Miss Disa gave us some random cut-out words that go together. Me, Meral, and Sashmeen were in ...
