Today's class was a vibrant showcase of passions and creativity, as everyone presented topics close to their hearts. My favorite presentation was Adi's, which delved into the language of flowers. It was fascinating to see how flowers can communicate profound messages without a single word, expressing emotions and stories through their beauty and symbolism. Adi's insights brought a fresh perspective to something we often take for granted, leaving me more curious about the hidden meanings behind floral arrangements.

For my presentation, I shared my passion project, SkyBridges. It’s a venture that combines my love for flying and making a difference. SkyBridges partners with flying schools and tourism companies to offer eco-historical aerial tours, which I narrate as an in-flight guide. Beyond tourism, the initiative has a humanitarian mission—100% of the profits fund aid drops to isolated tribes and provide flood relief through airlifts. Presenting this to my peers allowed me to reflect on how this project aligns with my values of innovation and service, and I was thrilled to see their interest in its dual purpose.

After the presentations, Ms. Disa challenged us to create a wordless presentation using only visuals, pushing us to rethink how we communicate ideas. This led to a lively discussion that meandered through topics like making soaps and the challenges of finding online tutors. It was an engaging and thought-provoking day, blending personal expression with collective learning.

"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...

  December 11, 2024 - Hurdle Defeats us Starting off a game never knowing it will defeat us is truly the most humbling experience in AEP. And in this case, it was Hurdle. Everyone thinks it’s over, but it always comes back to us. It’s truly a battle, a battle between choosing which letters were correct and the placement of it. It was quite humbling to see at the end how blind we were during the game. We did a worksheet that included a graph and filled in the blanks. Other than that, we all recited one detail about a different graph and also read example answers. It wasn’t too difficult or anything like that since I adapted to doing these types of activities. January 8, 2025 - Defeated once again Once again, Hurdle returns to us. But it was quite different, it was somewhat similar to wordle, but you do it multiple times in a row until you lose. To our surprise, we lost after three games. It was quite devastating but oh well. In our worksheets, it included how to describ...
