My Future Career

I wish to pursue a science field after secondary school. I thought that would be a successful path for me to take because I’ve always grasped the many components of science extremely well. I intend to attend UBC because I have visited the campus and have fallen in love with the environment and believe it is a place where I may thrive. I’m currently considering pursuing a career in nursing, which will include knowledge of chemistry and biology, as well as physics. My objective is to continue with physics and biology next year, then switch to chemistry and biology in grade twelve.

Core Competency Reflection

Critical Thinking

I can analyze evidence before making judgments.. When I was thinking on which road to follow for my project, I did this. I went off of the facts from the previous few years of what I had been most successful at.

Creative thinking

I deliberately learn about things that pique my interest or jump into my mind. I did this because when I was creating my future plan, I considered what campus I would be most interested in by considering my interests and clubs that I would like to join.

Critical and reflective thinking

I can ask open ended questions to gather informational can ask open ended questions to gather information. The discussion of my future career led me to ask my family what they believe I’ll do after high school. This encouraged me tremendously in devising a strategy for the future.

Working on

I consider more than one way to proceed in an investigation. This is something I’d like to focus on because there are times when I make decisions without realizing there are other possibilities.

The Simpsons

Creating and communication

This unit helped me break down the different types of humor that I would never think about when watching the show.

I used a scrap piece of paper to brainstorm my ideas before writing it down, this helped me create a structure and better understand what was going on. At times it was hard to express my ideas but i really tried to create a structure and different points to their popularity.

Core Competency Reflection

I can describe how satire, irony and/or allusion relates to (make a connection to another text or show). I did this when I described an allusion from the episode we watched when they used one of Scooby-Doo’s popular references as evidence to my statement.

I seek, develop and weigh options as demonstrated by the importance to the thesis. I tried to find the best evidence to support my original statement to prove why The Simpsons is one of the greatest shows.

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this when I talked about Homer having childish characteristics then gave the example of him not going to church.
