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.
Some Words I would use to describe my grade 9th, year are. Concentrative, Challenging and Mellow. I used these words because, they fit well into most category in my grade 9 highlights. I had to be concentrative to my work all the time because I pressured myself in my grades. And while being so concentrative with all of my work. I also found it challenging, because there would be times where I’m low on sleep, I need to lie down. But I cannot because I had to focus. But it does slightly affect my mood and daily interaction with others. So most of the time or sometimes, I’m mellow.
This website helped me out with math and that I was able to enjoy this website because it is helpful more than Kumon and that thay give out more details on a math project or even subject that I am needed to take and study more about.
My Favorite Video
I chose this video because it helps me in Math. I sometimes need a deeper explanation with any type of activity I am focusing on. I also not just like the video itself I also like the channel. Because it doesn’t just focus on one topic like this video topic. But every other big math topics like, Algebra
My Favorite Image
Beautiful sunset over the sea with a view at palms on the white beach on a Caribbean island of Barbados
This is my favorite image because it helps me calm down, when I am in need to be calm. and it makes me think about some of the places I’d go to and think about the time that I might reach some of my goal and this is the place I go to this place when I am in need to calm down.
My Favorite Quote
“Failure is the great Teacher and if you are open to it every mistake has a lesson.”Oprah Winfrey
I chose this quote because it relates to my learning motivation. I imagine myself saying this to myself over and over again, whenever im unmotivated, because sometimes I just need a little push from being unmotivated. But at times I also reflect my mood at the end of the day based on how hard I reflected on this quote and see if I improved and maintain my mindset.

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
END OF YEAR- (Total up); $122,125.35 = $92,125.35 GIC and Stocks + $30,000 Savings Earned. pop
Stocks and GIC Alternation – Excel is a great source for making graphs like this.
(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.
I manage stress through a daily basis by being able to relax and chill down. I somehow find a way to cool down by just drinking a couple cup of green tea and at times I would do a short yoga and focus back on working in my school activity and Homeworks. Managing stress is one of the hardest things to do cause sometimes whenever I try to manage my stress I would at times overthink on what could happen if I unwind and what would happen if I even tried not think of school stuffs, it gets crazy but easiest ways to calm and control stress, is by deep breathing and finding ways to do it in your own capable way to dealing with stress.
I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behavior, I would often like to keep in my behavior within the school activity I’m doing, let’s say I take my time to actually critical think while being able to play the activity, let’s say in soccer you think fast of what’s the next move to achieve the goal for your team and often be respectful about sportsmanship.
I find it easy to be part of a group, sometimes I find it hard to fit in, but at times I would try to mix or blend in with the people I’m put in a group and learn they’re ways of how they manage to act in a group and try to blend in with a little attitude they have, but overall, it really just takes good communication and positive vibes.
Lastly, I am kind to others, and support others when they need it, I would keep everything that I do manageable and respectful to my teammates and peers, whether it’s playing the game in a specific rule they want, or even if they just might need a little support on what kind of ideas they have, like maybe change the game rule up a bit or even trying to explain how the game works, I can support by being able to keeps a heads up and focus and maybe share a little advice.
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/SocialCompetency 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.
