My Grade 9 Year
This school year I achieved my goal of not procrastinating, as much. I organized myself in a better way than the years before, and I was able to complete the majority of my work before it was due. Something I enjoyed was science, more specifically chemistry and physics. In middle school we didn’t go into depth for each unit so I’m glad that we got to learn about the individuals, and I was able to determine more about my future career.
My Favorite Website
I chose Jigsaw Planet as my favorite website because it supports my mental health. By solving the diverse set of puzzles, I feel myself become more relaxed. Also, I find that when I create my own puzzles I can calm down from stressful situations.
My Favorite Video
I chose this video because I love science, and Bill Nye. Mr. Nye has a great way of expressing the information, in a way that makes it fun to watch.
My Favorite Image
I chose this image because when I look at this photo, I remember how much my friend and I struggled while making this. We would constantly shake the surface (that being the drums) whenever we got annoyed, but after several attempts, we were able to complete the card tower. We felt very proud.
My Favorite Quote
“I used to tell students…the difference between poetry and you is you look in the mirror and say, “I am getting old,” but Shakespeare looks in the mirror and says, “Devouring Time, blunt thou thy lion’s paws.” by Jim Harrison
I chose this quote because it shows the difference in the two’s perspective. I feel the need to experience and see through different perspectives, and being able to understand how it came to be. This thought has been with me throughout the school year.
