  1. What is your Inquiry Question? Has the focus of your inquiry shifted or changed since you wrote your Personal Learning Plan? Explain. 

The focus of my Inquiry question changed since I wrote my Personal Learning Plan. My original question was related to my Law class. But then a few months ago I switch focused to youth homelessness in our community and how to help them. It’s a newly formed group under Leadership called “Cent Helping Youth.” And now, my question now is, ”How do I make an impact in my community?”

2. How is your time management? Are you using CENT time weekly to work on your Inquiry, or are you finding other time during the week?

Since the second semester has started, it took a while for me to adjust and so most of the time, I use my CENT time on doing my homework or studying for my other classes. However, I find time during the week through flex time to meet up with my group and discuss how to move forward.

3. What resources (people, websites, apps, videos, etc.) have been most helpful? 

The most helpful resources so far was advices of my leadership teachers.

4. What challenges are you currently facing with your Inquiry? What challenges have you overcome?

Challenges would be finding the proper materials needed to execute our ideas. We overcame many challenges so far by having a plan B for most of it.

5. Describe your growth of a Core Competency through this inquiry process.

I used my Personal and Social thinking skills to communicate in my school community. I engage with students and peers directly especially in fundraising events, which is the main point of our plan.

6. How will you share what you have been learning, creating or planning in this Inquiry? Are you on track to share your learning by the end of May or early June?

 Cent Helping Youth still have future plans that will last to the end of the school year and I think by early June I will have a completed Powerpoint presentation of my Inquiry plan.

7. Will you continue working on this Inquiry, or parts of it, for your Capstone next year? 

I am hoping to continue what Cent Helping Youth has been working on since the beginning of this school year.

Personal and Social: I can recognize my strengths and take responsibility for using strategies to focus, manage stress, and accomplish my goals.

Crochet

This project was the most challenging for me to accomplish as I have never done anything like it before. It was stressful at some point, especially the beginning of the project, which for me was the hardest part. Fortunately, I have coping methods on how I handle my stress or frustrations. In order for me to gain back my focus, taking short mental breaks was really helpful. I also manage to accomplished it after watching the Youtube tutorial as well as seeing it demonstrated in person. I paid close attention to the details regarding the correct way to handle the crochet hook and the proper way to hold the crochet thread. I did my best effort into completing the project and learnt a lot throughout the process. Nevertheless, I am certain that I will be able to use this new skill in the future.
