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.

"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...
