I recently had the chance to hear the story of Carrie Louis, a survivor of a school where Indigenous children were not allowed to speak their language or practice their traditions. Her story showed me the difficult challenges that Indigenous children faced in those schools.

Carrie’s story was really touching because it made me realize how colonialism has affected Indigenous people and their communities. She shared the hard times and struggles she went through as a young child, like being taken away from her family and losing her connection to her culture and language.

But what amazed me the most was Carrie’s bravery and her willingness to tell her story. It was clear that she felt a responsibility to teach us about the harm caused by those schools and the ongoing trauma that affects Indigenous communities.

Carrie’s journey towards healing and strength was truly inspiring. Despite the trauma she experienced, she didn’t let it define her or hold her back. She pursued her education and career, and eventually became a respected leader and advocate for Indigenous rights.

Overall, listening to Carrie’s story was a really powerful experience for me. It reminded me of the importance of acknowledging the past and working towards a better future for everyone in Canada. Her story showed me how vital it is to educate ourselves, raise awareness, and support Indigenous people in their ongoing struggles for justice and healing.

Personal and Social Awareness: Core Competency

Carrie Louis’ story is a great example of the importance of developing personal and social awareness. Through her own journey, she showed a deep understanding of her emotions and the impact of the residential school system on her life. She also demonstrated an impressive level of social awareness by explaining how her experiences fit into the larger history of colonization and its effects on Indigenous communities. By sharing her story, Carrie helped increase awareness and understanding of the trauma and injustices faced by Indigenous people. This highlights the significance of cultivating personal and social awareness to build empathy, understanding, and support for those who have been marginalized and oppressed.

This particular unit is about graphics and animation. I found this assignment the hardest because of the amount of times I’ve had to redo my code. Through perseverance and constant re-adjusting, I finally made the code work. I’ve learned new concepts such as function, recursion and many more which helped me through my learning process.

  • I make my ideas work or I change what I am doing
  • I have interests and passions I pursue over time
  • I understand how I will continue to develop new abilities and strengths to help me meet new challenges

CPR Reflection

Something I learned that I didn’t know before was that during cpr, you have to push 2 inches at the rate of 100-120 beats per second. The biggest takeaway from the CPR unit is that the techniques and procedures showcased in this unit is essential to learn. At anytime anyone around you can go through a heart attack or stroke so having this type of knowledge will help you perform procedures to potentially save someone’s life. This connects to the previous unit which talked about the importance of nutrition because they are both valuable in our health and wellness. As they both have to do with knowledge that can save your life and everyone around you whether it be having basic knowledge as exercising everyday to keep a healthy heart or performing special techniques that can secure a life in the future.

Core Competency Reflection

I can analyze evidence to make judgements by checking on somebody to see if they are unconscious or not to then be able to give them the needed cpr.

I find it easy to be in a group because it allows me to listens to everyone’s thoughts and analyze the pros and cons of everyone’s perception on what to do and ultimately finding the best decision for myself and others.

I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behaviour by following the rules and allowing others to have fun by not ball-hogging which results in an inclusive and overall fun environment.

I give, receive, and act on feedback to progress in my goals. An example of this is whenever I don’t understand an aspect on a particular unit, I ask and receive on feedback which allows me to progress in my work which ultimately creates an easier pathway for my goals. Also with doing this, and using the knowledge I have consumed, I’m able to make an environment of learning where I can help others achieve goals similar to mine.

My Core Competency Goal

I ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. I struggle with this the most because in class, I have a hard time gathering thoughts and most of the time I don’t know what to say. So I’d like to work on getting out of my comfort zone and to become an active and supporter listener.
