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.

Facing a Challenge

Problem:


At first glance, this equation appeared to be very complex, and I was unsure of how to approach it. However, after reviewing the material and practicing more problems, I was able to overcome this challenge.

The first time I attempted this problem, I found it challenging because I did not have a clear understanding of how to solve radical equations. I was confused by the square roots on both sides of the equation and was unsure of how to isolate the variable. I felt overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed.

The mistake that I made the first time I attempted this problem was that I did not correctly apply the rules of algebra to isolate the variable. Specifically, I was unsure of how to eliminate the square roots on both sides of the equation. I mistakenly squared both sides of the equation to get rid of the square roots, but I did not realize that this would be an extraneous solution. This led to an incorrect answer and caused me to become more confused and frustrated. But through reviewing the material and practicing more problems, I was able to gain a better understanding of the concept and solved the question. I now feel more confident in my ability to solve radical equations.
