Nada /The Atticus Finch Effect



 I chose Atticus Finch to be my character because he possesses profound qualities, he also made me see life in different perspectives, both as a father and as a respected member of his community. Atticus does not only stand out for his moral integrity but also for the fact that he builds up, and, mainly, develops respective relationships with his family and neighbors. His control, wisdom, and dedication to justice make him a figure of much respect in the town of Maycomb It's not only about what he does for work but how he lives his life, those are qualities I really admire and want to bring into my own relationships with people. 


Atticus is an icon in the novel for one chief aspect: empathy. He teaches his daughter, Scout, to understand the opposing side's point of view. He encourages her to "climb into another person's skin and walk around in it." This lesson is very close to my heart because I always believe that understanding other people, especially on matters on which we disagree, is essential for developing compassion and rearing relationships. I would like to develop the ability to approach things with such sensitivity and to be able to view life from so many perspectives.


Another aspect of Atticus's character is his commitment to family. He raises Scout and Jem with love, patience, and guidance, teaching them valuable life lessons despite the challenges he faces. His role as a father shows me the importance of leading by example and being a steady, loving presence in my relationships with family and friends.


I hope one day to attain the level Atticus holds so well-being among his people a good person and an influencer of integrity. The fact that Atticus impacts people through this subtle, subtle power shows just how the values of respect, kindness, and understanding should be applied universally. A balanced personal integrity to be there when others need their support or just guidance in one's life as seen in the character of Atticus.

Aleena Imran - BLOG #3.2 - Grade 9

  I honestly cannot believe we are already halfway through the third term, it feels like we started it yesterday. This will be one of the last blogs we’ll be writing for the school year, which seems so crazy. As much as I’m not fond of writing blogs, it’s still a reminder that we shared our moments together in AEP.   March 5, 2025 -  An Off-Board Warmup? This warmup was unlike our other ones. We usually have our warmups on the board, such as Wordle, Hurdle or waffle. But this time, all we had on the board was a map. Everyone had to state one sentence about the two maps shown on the screen, but there was a plot twist, you had to remember what the previous person stated and add on to it. As more people stated their sentences, it only got difficult, it meant you had to remember more sentences, but in the correct order. I wasn’t able to remember the sentences in order, but I still enjoyed watching other students struggling to remember the sentences.  Later on, we g...

Abracadabra — Leo Blog 3.2

 This term, we've begun with a list of terms related to environment, ranging from the devastating crises happening around the globe to the lovely descriptions of catastrophes caused by man. While it's a very fun and a not-so content-heavy topic, it reminds us that we can't say ' abracadabra ' to felled trees and watch as they rise from the ashes of our ancestors. Well, it's a shame, really. Would've loved to see some of the forests and wildlife that existed before the world began pumping steam and breathing coal. The first thing we did when we got to the third term was pairing words to form collocations. There were a variety of them, 42 collocations to be exact, and we had to figure them out. Most were easy, words we knew were things like 'climate change' or 'heat wave', but some were new. 'Paddy farming', 'septic tanks' and other words were quite interesting. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the AEP period the week after...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
