Communicating
I can understand and share information about a topic of interest.. Doing this lab I was able to communicate with my partner and we got to understand the lab and got to share some information about what we know in the lab and how the colors change because of the chemical reactions and the PH scale/level. I got to work and collaborate as well me and my partner took turns communicating the steps and how it should be done.

Curricular Response:
I have chosen this image because for most obvious reasons fire mostly represents how the wretch in both films died and they were burned to death and how they created the fear of fire, in one of the movie. This slide shows the difference between two films but with just looking at one figurative image you can see there is not much difference. Because even if the fire represents what their afraid of the fire represents how similar their deaths are to one image. They were both burned to death in the 1994 and 1931 films.
Core Competency Self-Assessment:
The challenges I had to face coming from this somewhat different from a “typical” assignment, Challenges I had to face was the design and slide organization. I usually let my impulsive thoughts take over me when doing presentation designs. But to this project I had to fight my impulsive thoughts due to the fact that I wanted this presentation to be different and, in the end, I fought my thoughts aside and take just one presentation style and finished my project. There was, mostly times where choosing images was really not that easy and simple, because when I had to choose my images, I had to think of the meaning behind and what it could symbolize. As for my words I choose them quite professionally and cautiously because there was a lot of times, I wanted to just use short words to finish my presentation, but I figured It wouldn’t really look good.
ADL- Collaboration and Solutions for Financial Literacy
Data and Solutions;
GIC- 4.2% non-redeemable GIC, Annual return per year, when trying multiple strategies to find the down payment, like alternating to 4.2% 3 year non-redeemable or 3.5% non-redeemable.
(SCENARIO – 1) Alternation with Stocks investment and 1-year annual non-redeemable GIC
FIRST EVER YEAR (PRESENT); (80,000) – SAVINGS; (0) – Stocks 1.075 * Non-redeemable GIC 1.035
YEAR-1; $82,800 = 80,000 * 1.035 GIC – Savings Earned – 10,000
YEAR-2; $89,010 = 82,800 * 1.075 Stocks – Savings Earned – 20,000
YEAR-3; $92,125.35 = 82,800 * 1.035 GIC – Savings Earned – 30,0000
END OF YEAR- (Total up); $122,125.35 = $92,125.35 GIC and Stocks + $30,000 Savings Earned. pop

(Justification)
I chose this solution because the good side of it, shows you have over $120,000 in your down payment, the benefits of using stocks could have a nice side at times, sometimes stocks could have a higher percentage of you losing your money, so stocks would usually be risky to use, but when you work hard and the stock would sometimes go along with good luck, so sometimes the stocks could also work well but either way, stocks is still risky you either gain or loss, but right now I’m just showing the good side of stocks, but the bad side would result me to having money less than $120,000 in my down payment, so I used the good solution instead of bad. GIC are almost great source It basically represents that keeping money in GIC would be safe cause it’s quite similar to a bank because you can keep your money and get daily profit out of it, but the only advantage, would be you won’t be able to touch your money for a long term, and the GIC Annual non-redeemable has a pretty low percentage, so if you add it up with stocks but a bad year, you won’t have enough to money for your down payment for the next 3 years. I chose this since I have average risk a half and half, and I think this would suit me best because of my risk and what I think is best to do.
(Collaborations and Contribution)
I found working with my group great, it’s not the best nor the worst, but it’s just right and we helped out each other with what we’re struggling with and shared solutions, about this project.
I did contribute only for a little bit, since I found it easy for others to share their solution and try to compare my own answers to their answer, and if not correct I ask how they solve this.
I used the solution my group did, but I just decided to Alternate between different solutions, I decided alternate with Plan-A and Stock investment.
I think I would rank my collaboration in rank 2, because even though I may look like I contributed, all I mostly did was just ask questions and try to solve and compare.
(Core Competency Reflection)
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in, groups where I’m able to work with and well, and not wander off on any topic, I mostly sometimes communicate clearly when I’m in a group where we get to share each other’s solution and try to communicate about how our strategies could work well with any real-life relation.
As an active listener, I notice that, sometimes the speaker would have a clear idea of the subject their talking about, which would mean they’re really convinced, and sometimes if they’re not convinced some speakers might hesitate to answer some of the questions I ask or the solution and strategy that was given to us to solve.
I didn’t really choose a different specific solution that was proposed from my group, I just went along with the main solution which was the one that was supposed to be solved properly.
I would rate my group collab around the rating-2 since I didn’t really find anyway to express my solutions in a extending way.

Creating a Positive and Safe Digital Footprint
Internet Safety is important cause, when going to online it’s quite different far from the real world we live in, online is at times full of people who are anonymous, misleading and sometimes fake. They at times happen to spread some type of negativity that could affect someone in their personal stake, sometimes a survey pops up to any internet you access and maybe they ask about your personal lifestyle like; “What Transit Do you take at a usual basis?” or sometimes even much more personal aside from transit, but it is also much far more important to not share the ones that are way personal due to safety and privacy.
When going online and you decide to talk to strangers on either a gameplay or a chat stream, you started off with a normal chill conversation to start with talking about some type of gum flavor or candle scents then you start to move to a bit of personal information like what your actual name is and your nationality or even the country you are on, just then you were tempted to share more which leads you to overshare to your “new” online friend/friends about the specific place you are on and you decided to share your personal social media to a people/person you just met, this is quite unsafe due to the fact you were just talking about scents and flavors to what you actually are and where you are on a regular basis, this could lead to tracking down your location, typical oversharing personal information and online footprints.
Taking some type of steps to be safe can be able to realize the conversation and spotting that they want more of your personal information, a green flag for having a normal personal like conversation topic to talk about can be your zodiacs sign, what your personality traits are or what you like about a person and even your favorite food, cat/dog breed, or even games, when it comes to social media even if you’re on private you will need to double check before you post, cause what gets shown in the internet stays in the internet due to the fact that what you erase cannot be erased in the internet even if you delete your history there are still system inside the internet that could still access your deleted history, so you can stay safe by putting yourself private or have a strong password, never try to even look at online links that you know doesn’t feel right or suspicious links, keep update with your history and avoid some type of unsecure websites that could lead you to leak your address, email and personal information.
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include, letting everyone who shares a comment at times be heard depending to what they post or comment, I at times would like to check the internet or link that I am in due to the fact that sometimes internet links can be quite suspicious and sketchy, having an online presence would sometimes be unnoticeable to others but that’s okay cause there are at times people who would notice and not notice, but the trick to maintaining your presence is to make sure your positive and you like to encourage positive comments to spread.
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are, being able to notice sense. When it comes to building online relationship through online it is important to make sense in conversations and also by your safety, a lot of times when maintaining online relationships could also affect your real-world relationship like how you act to one person to another sometimes you might even combine to mix it up. to build a healthy one you can either not overshare your personal data and info due to the person behind screen is not who you know well in real life to, so keep a low profile and play it cool.
My strengths as a digital citizen include, separating or drawing a line when it comes to real life relationship and my online relationships, they contribute to my real-life basis because, I have some type of different personality type or relationship type and when it comes to real life I could easily blend in with my normal self and my relationship with my friends and when it comes to online my second relationship building kicks in and that’s where I can talk and or build relationship and blend in l with my thoughts and what my opinion is about.
