My Grade 9 Year
This year I leaned that putting your self out there isn’t always as bad and as scary as it seems. At the beginning of the year I was very scared to go up and talk to new people i haven’t met before, and absolutely terrified to join any school sports teams. So at the start of the year I made a promise to myself that I would join at least one of centennials many sports teams and try and talk to as many new people as I possibly could. On the first day of school I ended up talking with a group of girls that i used to go to middle school with, but i hadn’t ever talked to them before. Fast forward to today and the group of girls ended up becoming some of my best friends, and they also help me get out of my comfort zone and join the junior girls soccer team with them.
My Favorite Website
https://www.wordreference.com/
My favorite website is word reference, because whenever I don’t understand a word or verb conjugation in french i can look it up on the website. I also like this website because in french sometimes the same word can have different meaning and it can be spelt multiple different ways, word reference makes it very easy to find which is the correct one i’m looking for.
My Favorite Video
My favorite video from this year is the Matrix. I enjoyed this for the first time in english class, and while we were watching it my teacher took the time to explain the deeper meaning and truth behind the movie and how it can relate to my everyday life.
My Favorite Image
I took this photo when I went to Mexico during spring break. I think this photo is very pretty because of the ocean in the background and all of the trees, you can see the sun rays coming through the clouds while the sun is rising.
My Favorite Quote
“Better we raise our skill than lower the climb.” — Royal Robbins I chose this quote because rock climbing is my favorite thing to do. But I also feel that I can relate this quote back to my learning, because everyday that we come to school I learn something new.
