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!!!!

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...
