My Grade 9 Year

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.

My Favorite Website

https://zbib.org/

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.

My Favorite Videos

https://newskit.social/videos/Mitosis—Stages-of-Mitosis–Cells–Biology–FuseSchool

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 Image

This is a goofy image of a hacker I used in my novel movie project of the book Homeland by Cory Doctorow for my English class. i also chose this because it was my image favorite that I used in my project.

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.
