Reflection#2.2/Nada

 My AEP job interview class had to do a great and interesting job resume: create a fictional resume for Atticus Finch, the character that I chose the lawyer from "To Kill a Mockingbird". This helped me understand how a good resume can be written as well as led me to some important qualities about a good lawyer.

First, I made the resume look real. In education, I put Atticus at a well-known law school so he could represent intelligence. Experience is where he wrote about the case of defending Tom Robinson; in this part, I have taken into account the skills applied to the work such as thinking critically, speaking clearly, and standing up for justice. Creating a fictional resume for Atticus Finch was an interesting and challenging experience. It required me to think about how to present his career in a professional and structured way while making it realistic for a lawyer from his time period.


This is one of the biggest challenges that I faced-to balance historical accuracy with modern resume writing. As resumes today have a specific format, I had to decide how to adapt Atticus's experience in a way that made sense. Listing his education and legal experience was pretty straightforward, but I had to think carefully about how to describe his skills and achievements in a way that fit both his character and professional background.


It was actually my favorite section to write-the skills. I used words like "Strong Morals," "Public Speaking," and "Empathy," which truly applied to both Atticus and real lawyers. This really made me think about what the actual skills and values are in a job. Choosing the Job & Company After drafting the resume, I needed to decide which job Atticus Finch would apply to. As his reputation goes, he is out there protecting the defenseless and dealing with injustices, so he would seek employment in a law firm


This assignment was really helpful because it taught me how to present the skills and experiences clearly. I also realized that a resume is not just for listing jobs. It's about showing who you are and what you believe in. overall; this has really been a great learning experience that will be useful in the future when applying for jobs and interviews.

Blog #3

First blog of the year! This blog includes the padlet of many, many AEP meetings.  Last padlet of the year (December 10, 2024). On that day, we didn't do much, just played games. We first played Scrabble (which Selim won) and then played Waffle. Had fun that day. First padlet of the year (January 7, 2025). The break went by so quickly, it didn't feel like 2 weeks at all. I wish it was longer. Anyways, at the start of the class, Miss Disa asked us about the lessons she taught us and if we learned/remembered anything from it. After that, we played Scrabble once more. Somehow Selim beat us again. Selim is insanely lucky in Scrabble for some reason. He had nearly double everyone's score. He had around 120 something points if I remember correctly. We then played Contexto after we finished playing Scrabble. I enjoyed AEP and had a lot of fun. Missed lying on my bed though. Second padlet (January 14, 2025). The class began with us playing Unlimited Wordle. It looked and seemed lik...

Time goes by so fast like flash I’m excited and nervous at the same time for this 3rd trimester!!  This time I will do my blog different , I’ll just explain what we did most of the time in AEP. Before we get to the main part of our topic of game we always play word puzzles to get our mind moving, it helps us not sleep in AEP heh. Sometimes we also play scrabble which is really fun. I lost my streak sadly :( Jia is really good I’m usually 2nd place. One of my core memorize is dogo news miss makes it so fun to read and has interesting topics ( just like the banana taped on the wall) it will never get out of my mind. We also do listening tasks which is alright I guess. Well anyways this 2nd trimester went by so fast hope to see you next time byeee!!!.
