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!

"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...

Aleena Imran - Grade 9 - Blog 2.2

  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...
