My artifact is the mitosis stop motion video I made. It is a bit rough but I like the little organelle goblins I made. I feel that I have communicated the metaphase and anaphase well through the designs of my little organelle goblins and how they move in the video.
This year has gone well. I made various cool graphs in a few math projects. I made quite the splendid English project on the book Homeland by Cory Doctorow which I’m proud of. I won a top student award in choir but you can’t see it in the picture below because I folded it up and put it in my pocket like an idiot.
Ways To Improve
Goals
Action Plans
Get over my irrational fear of authority figures
Ask my teachers for help more often
Improve studying habits
Ask for help with studying or take advice from people on how best to study.

I hate doing these so much
I think I have demonstrated good communication through the way I moved while performing. I also feel that I have improved the way I move to express certain emotions while performing.
Most of the things i chose were because they were things i enjoy such as art, music and video games or things that are generally incorporated in the way I act in my day to day life like comedy and socializing.
Head = 17.55
Arm 1 = 12.75
Arm 2 = 12.75
Torso = 37.5
Legs = 45
I calculated the percentages of the body by measuring squares around the different parts and calculating the area. Then I added the squares to calculate the total area then I calculated the percentages of the individual body parts by dividing their areas by the total areas, multiplying by one hundred and heavily simplifying the answer.
This year was pretty okay at first before i became a straight c- student in the second half, that wasn’t great. I really enjoyed my first year at Centennial despite having less than satisfactory grades because of the many new friends I made and it being a lot less tedious than middle school. One project I am quite proud of is my novel study project because I added multiple music tracks, some really good images and put probably the most effort I’ve ever put into any project, however it is a bit rough around the edges and it is a bit of a mess when it comes to my writing and transitions. Overall I have really enjoyed my first year at centennial and I look forward to the following years.
I like this website because it helps me site sources for my projects fast and efficiently. It was a huge help for projects like my novel study and this one.
These videos helped me better understand and visualize the process of mitosis while I was working on my stop motion animation project for science.

My Favorite Quote
“Be the trouble you want to see in the world, above nationalism, above so-called patriotism, above and beyond fear and make it count for the betterment of the planet. Legal and illegal are not the same as right and wrong – do what is right and never give up the fight.”-from the Afterword by Jacob Appelbaum featured in Homeland by Cory Doctorow, page 384.
I chose this quote because it was in the book I chose for my novel study. I also chose it like it’s message and how it connects to the story of the book.
my group chose this option because of it’s fast results getting you a lot of money quickly and it’s dependance on skill making it more controlled to a degree, however if stocks drop in value your income will slow to a crawl making this option somewhat risky.
I am a somewhat high risk person which makes this option perfectly align with my risk tolerance because of it’s high risk and high reward.
Collaboration and Contributions
I should have contributed much more to this project because the other member of my group voluntarily did all the calculations and decision making while I slacked off, he even said that I did research in his own project to make me look better. Overall I would rate my ability to collaborate with my group a 0-4 and it’s entirely my fault.
CORE COMPITENCIE SHENANEGANS, MY FAVORITE!!!! (Insert excessive amount of sarcasm.)
I made a cool graph demonstrating my mastery of Microsoft Excel and cool graphs. I also now know how to use excel better. Yay!
I will try to contribute more on future projects. I will also try to communicate better on future projects.
I now have a better understanding of stocks and how they work.
I reflected on my own bad habits while making my cool graph featuring the rest of my project.
In art I demonstrated communication by Talking to my friends way too much. I also demonstrated it through my watercolor paintings. A goal I will set for myself for next semester is to get my work done a lot faster because I struggled with that in a lot in the beginning of art.
