Reflection 6 -- SEM 2 -- Adi Syachrin

 For this week, it was a bit of a doozy!

We finally started on our resume meant for our characters. I have made my own resume around several months ago when I was under the impression that I would be able to get a part-time job while also studying. Well... I never really ended up applying to the place but the resume is still relatively updated so I can still use it when I feel like it.

I'm using said resume as the basis and reference for Marshall's resume. It has also come to my attention that we're supposed to apply to a real company for this project. Now this was another difficult one. I had searched up several architecture firms in Sydney, Australia and instinctively picked the first one that interested me. However, it has come to my attention that our character has to be pursuing something we like and are actively aspiring for as well. 

I initially picked architecture since it had been one of my possible career paths back in Grade 10. However, after learning how difficult and not to mention, expensive, the major is, I decided to opt out of it to more material-based sciences. Which means, I don't particularly want to be an architect.

Miss insisted that I choose a job and a career path that I'm actively more interested in. I didn't really want to make Marshall a medicine or pharmacy student for that matter, so I picked one of the jobs and majors that I have a lot of love for but is unlikely to pursue: Creative writing. Specifically, Marshall intends to become a screenwriter.

As someone who has always loved movies and writing, becoming a screenwriter had always been am obvious choice for one of my paths. However, there comes the concern of money and job availability. It's a major that I would pick more out of passion rather than practicality. However, I gave Marshall the privilege in order to still pursue what I never could.

Marshall's family is well-off and his sister is a doctor, making it so that she's already the designated "golden child", if you will, allowing Marshall to not bear the responsibilities of a bread winner and instead focus on his interests. He's applying to Sunstar Entertainment, a film production company that have produced a variety of Australian movies that I am rather fond of.

In a perfect world, I would be able to have what he has. But for now, I'm just glad that I can watch my dream come true through him. This really makes him feel like a son to me lol

Anyways, that's all for now. Thank you for reading!

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...
