I can develop a body of creative work overtime. When given the criteria and due date for this project, I worked slowly to think through and create the message I wanted to convey. For example, looking back at previous vocab and notes was a step I took to develop parts of the script. I chose this competency because even though it took some time and quite a bit of trial and error, the assignment progressed and was completed to the best of its creative ability in the end.
I can analyze evidence to make judgments. Similar to my previous core competency, I demonstrated this skill by referring back to previous notes and pages in the textbook to gather and create correct responses in the script. Looking back at completed worksheets was the evidence I used to correctly (for the most part) form sentences and assure the use of proper grammar and sentence structure.
I take a small break from my work and go lay down for a while. I may put my phone and other distractions away so I’m fully able to relax. Being able to take a pause throughout the day is very important to me because it keeps me on track and focused. It helps me regulate and improve my adittude
i chose this as my strength because it helped to properly compose my final project in socials studies. in my class, my assignment was to research and complete an essay on a topic I was interested in. I chose the Fraser River goldrush and constructed a page of notes as part of my project. due to my proficient notetaking, i was able to write an informative and accurate essay easily.
Core Competency Reflection
I can identify ways in which my strengths can help me meet challenges, and how my challenges can be opportunities for growth. Challenges I have faced push me to improve myself and my work. With my strengths, I am able to work towards my set goals and overcome obstacles along my path to success.
looking back on this year, I most enjoyed meeting new people. I’ve made many new friends and explored outside my comfort zone. I’ve connected with my classmates and developed my social skills. I look forward to strengthening my new friendships as the following years pass.

My favorite quote
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ― Oscar Wilde
ive found this year that its important to be your own person and cherish your originality. when you’re surrounded by so many people, its easy to water down the real you, but the more comfortable you get with your own authentic self, the easier it will be to accept yourself.

. With a GIC I can grow my money securely without worrying about losing profits. (safer option)
. Did not invest since thats too risky for me personally. Since i was looking to buy a house at the end of the three years, id rather build my money in a slow yet safe way. I may lose more money rather than earn with investing.
Core competencies
I can think about what I am going to convey and to whom I will convey it. I plan and think about the solution and how i will express my reasoning
One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to communicate with each other to make sure we are all on the same page before moving forward

When faced with ambiguity or setbacks, I take a step back and ask for help. I seek other perspectives and criticism to advance the development of my ideas.

1. How did you find working with your group? Working in a group for math is out of my comfort zone personally but it was mostly successful. My group all collaborated together well.
2. How did you contribute to the group? And how did others in the group contribute to your learning? I contributed by exploring other solutions to the problem and finding the best possible one. My group mates helped with combining the information we gathered into a graph and making justifications

Reflect on how you manage stress in your life and care for your wellbeing. In particular, think about technology and if it is a cause or coping mechanism of stress for you. How has technology impacted your stress levels this year? How can you use technology to support you in you in your wellbeing?
i manage stress by getting outdoors and connecting with nature. For example, taking walks, going on hikes, ect. technology and social media is usually the cause of my stress so thats why i choose to stay away from it when i need to cope. the internet can worry me a lot but its also beneficial when im feeling anxious. like when i need to listen to music to calm down.

Scetchbook prompt
This painting required the use of watercolorpaint, a medium I’m not very familiar with. Nevertheless, I made my vision work as I became accustomed to the techniques and explored further the style. This painting is the result after a week or so of practicing skills such as the “wet on wet’’ , “wet on dry’’, and ‘’gradient wash”method. With the given criteria and medium, I think I represented this core competency well.
For this project, I had to make an abstract painting of an emotion. To convey my message clearly, I planned
