My Grade 9 Year
During my first year of high school, some classes I particularly enjoyed were my Food Studies class and my Physical Education class. Over the course of the year, I expanded my knowledge in many areas, including the culinary arts. What had once been the most rudimentary knowledge of cooking grew to become a wider understanding of the important life skill. In other courses, I studied new branches of mathematics, different areas of science, and new eras of history.
Throughout my first two semesters at Centennial, I discovered some strengths and stretches. I can confidently say that my skills in English are something to take pride in. I also believe that I am strong in Mathematics, but that may change once I start learning more advanced branches such as calculus. A stretch of mine (which I have regretfully possessed since the beginning of middle school) is working on and turning in assignments before they are due. Another stretch is coming up with things that can relate to me, my school life, or my personal life. An example would be finding a “Useful Educational Website” or a “Useful Educational Image”. I don’t know about other people, but finding these proves highly challenging (at the time of writing, those spaces in the Edublog stay woefully blank.)
A Useful Educational Website
This website helped me cite sources properly, rather than simply copying the URL. Since part of the digital literacy assignments required the use of this website, it was quite useful.
A Useful Educational Video
This video was a big help as part of my Food Studies class. I learned quite a bit from it, which helped me make better muffins.
A Useful Educational Image
I chose this image because I used it in an assignment for my P.E. class. As part of an Edublog assignment in that class, I was told to insert a meme that depicts how I deal with stress. This meme fit perfectly, so I used it for the assignment.
An Inspirational Quote
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
-Albert Einstein
I chose this quote because it is applicable to everyday life, as well as being inspirational. This year, I tried to keep up with homework, and had some degree of success, but procrastination hindered my attempt to complete homework on time. Times where I let homework pile up would cause me to “lose my balance” and fall off the metaphorical bicycle. If I “kept moving” (completed homework and assignments on time), then I would have been able to keep my balance and avoid the arduous task of completing my homework all at once.
