Reflection on Character Development: A Character I’d Like to Be

If I could shape my ideal character, I would keep my name as it is—Saksham. It translates to "capable," a quality I strive to embody and carry forward. My last name, Kumar, connects me to my roots in the Jatt community, a proud farming caste. Farming has been a fundamental part of my identity since childhood, and it’s one of the reasons I feel so drawn to pursuing environmental engineering. I want my work to reflect both my heritage and my passion for sustainability.

While I was born in Delhi, I grew up in the Philippines. If I had the chance to rewrite my story, I’d choose to be raised in Delhi, a place very close to my heart. Delhi’s vibrant food, festivals, and culture have always resonated with me, and I would cherish the opportunity to grow up amidst its rich heritage. I would want my upbringing to be rooted in tradition yet complemented by a modern, resourceful environment. Being raised in a wealthy family would allow me to have access to good schools and opportunities while staying deeply connected to my roots.

In terms of personality, my archetype would be the Explorer. I’ve always been fueled by curiosity, whether it’s delving into science, uncovering historical narratives, or simply learning about the world and its mysteries. I love to travel, and I see life as a journey of constant discovery. This sense of wonder drives my passion for growth and knowledge.

I would like to be family-oriented, ensuring close bonds with my loved ones. A supportive, tight-knit family would be central to my character, as would a close circle of friends. A best friend, a loyal partner, and positive relationships with my peers would provide me with the emotional foundation to thrive.

The character I aspire to be is one full of enthusiasm and motivation, someone unafraid to explore new horizons and learn constantly. My ultimate dream would be to secure admission to Stanford University, a place I believe aligns with my values of intellectual vitality and exploration. In this ideal life, I would be surrounded by opportunities to grow, explore, and contribute to the world in meaningful ways.

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...

Busra D (AEP 3.1)

ITS ALREADY 3ND TRIMESTER THAT IS CRAZY. 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!!!.

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...
