My Grade 9 Year
This year I enjoyed exploring the various sciences. I participated in numerous chemistry labs where we observed and performed chemical reactions, I also learned how to calculate the velocity of an object along with many more formulas in physics. In metal class, I learned how to use tools to make rings and more, while in wood class, I created a charcuterie board. My writing skills have improved significantly thanks to English 9, where I learned to analyze images and write poems. I can also speak a few sentences in French as a result of my French class. I’ve delved into world history, learning about the past and how we have evolved. Math has also taught me to solve complex equations and challenge myself every day. All of these experiences have prepared me for my future years at Centennial.
A Useful Educational Website
Perplexity was incredibly useful during Social Studies. It allowed me to quickly find information with websites attached so I could verify their reliability, it would provide me with the answers I needed quickly with summaries. Whenever I had trouble understanding something, I could ask Perplexity to simplify and explain it which helped me immensely.
A Useful Educational Video
This video significantly enhanced my understanding of the Voyageurs by providing detailed information along with plenty of visuals. It helped me grasp what their lives were like and why their jobs were so challenging. After watching this video, I felt confident in explaining who the voyageurs were, which I previously struggled with.
A Useful Educational Image
This school year, I took Science 9 Honours and Science 10 Honours. I relied heavily on the periodic table, especially during chemistry and occasionally during physics. I used it so often that without it, I would be lost. The periodic table has been essential in supporting my learning and helping me reach my goals. This is hopefully paving the way for future success.
A Useful Educational Quote
“A little progress each day adds up to big results” – Satya Nani
I chose this quote because I often see classmates who have given up on their studies, which makes me question why I put so much time and effort into my classes. The reason why is because I know all of my hard work will shape my future. Completing a few assignments each week may seem small but it adds up and in the end, will impact my future. This quote reminds me of why I should continue to at least make a little progress even when I’m not feeling motivated because every bit contributes to my future goals.
