on Career Interview Project
on Who did you interview? What is their role or position? What did you find helpful and/or interesting? What was your BEST question? What was surprising or disappointing?
For this assignment I interviewed my Physiotherapist. I met him because he went to high school with my dad. He has been involved in Physiotherapy every since he left high school. He’s had his ups and downs with this career but he has stuck through. I found this very helpful because he answered all my questions in depth. The interesting part was that he said he didn’t want to be a physiotherapist, but he had to do it as a job, and he has liked it ever since. My best question that I asked was “What the shape of his day looks like as a Physiotherapist” because it gave me the most information and knowledge about this job. It was surprising that he said you can work on your own schedule, and you plan who you want to work with and who you don’t want to.
- How are YOU feeling about this career for yourself? What would you still like or need to find out?
I am feeling like I am starting to like this career more and more. I would definitely like to look at actually becoming a professional Physical Therapist after high school. But I would for sure have to look in depth about the side effects and bad things about becoming a physiotherapist.
Positive Social Media
on Positive social media posts
Reflection
I think having a digital footprint and posting on social media can be good and bad. It can let college recruiters see that you car and are actively on social media. It will always show college recruiters all the nice things you do but it will also show all the bad things you share. If you accidentally share something that you weren’t supposed to that could ruin your career.
Core Competency Reflection

I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group by communicating with other. I do my part in the lab. I demonstrated this by planning what I needed to do to complete this lab with my partner. I delegated things equally between me and my lab partner, and accomplished my designated tasks thoroughly and in an organized manner. I made sure to switch jobs with my lab partner, which allowing each of us to do different tasks
Personal/Social Reflection

Advertisement Persuasion Project
on My Advertisement
Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques
Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection
The hunger games advertisement project is a project where you had to make a no violence related item that would be used to win the Hunger games. When viewing an advertisement project you need to know who its directed for because you need to view it in there perspective. One form of persuasion I used was bandwagon. One advertising technique I used was making a hand drawing.

I know the group is working well together when I see improvement on my project from when it started to now. I know the group is working well together when I hear people commenting on are work. To celebrate an accomplishment such as getting proficient/extending on my advertisement project I congratulate my group members. I show that I value feedback from others in my group by taking there advice and editing my work.
Reflecting on My First Year
on My Grade 9 Year
This year I learned that high school is like a brick wall, if your not prepared for high school you wont be successful. This year I enjoyed the fact that I got to spend the whole school year with my football friends. When I am having difficulty with something, I usually ask the teacher or adult for help. I’m most proud of me going from a C+ to B’s and A’s. My stretches are me not putting in 100% of my effort into my work.
My Favourite Website
I choose google because it helped me with my school work. It also helped me figure out information for my school work
Favourite Video
I choose a Math antics video because it helped me understand the concept of polynomials. The video showed me step by step on how to complete my homework.
My Favourite Image
I choose this image because it is a image of me playing my first year of high school football at Centennial. The image doesn’t seem very important but it had an effect on me, This was my teams first league game and we went into the game to cocky and came out of the game humbled. We thought we were going to win but we didn’t. It is a picture of me throwing a football.
My Favourite Quote
Problems are guidelines, not stop signs! –Robert H. Schuller
I choose this quote because I have had problems but have never gave up and tried to go around them. I went through them

Core Competency Self-Assesment
on Core Competency
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I take a deep breath and have a sip of water and I just don’t think about anything else and just work.
I think artifacts connect to core competency very well and work well tougher. I learned a few skills through this activate and I also could work on a few of them. Such as not leaving my work tell the last moment or doing little by little instead of all of it right before its due
The Art of Smart Football: The Movie
on My movie
Plot, Character, Setting and Mood
· Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.
I figured out what my avatar would look like because he is someone in real life so I made an avatar that best looked like him.
· How did you choose the plot points?
I choose the plot point because they were all important events that they talked about in the first part of the book.
· Explain how you figured out the setting in your story. Why is the setting significant to the story?
There was no real setting of the book my book just talked about Football and like many things about it, like the history, rules and many different other things. So the setting is significant to the book because all my book talks about is football.
· Explain what the word mood means and how/why you picked the song that you picked?
Mood means like what the feeling or attitude something or someone is giving off. I chose the song that I picked for a reason because the book wasn’t giving of any sad feeling so and anytime I watch a football movie there’s always some rock playing in the background so that’s why I picked the song.
Core Competency Reflection
- I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this assignment because I wasn’t so sure about one of my points so I used evidence and double checked that it was one of my points in the book.
- When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I take a deep breath and have a sip of water and I just don’t think about anything else and just work.
- I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is that I followed the criteria and made sure I did my work to the criteria and right away.
Core Competency Self-Assessment
on Personal/Social
My goals align with my strengths and qualities because most of my goals all come with a strength because I want to push myself harder to the best I can do. I make decisions based on my values, for an example I want to make it to college to be a football player and I need a good education to make it to college so that’s why I set high standers for my academics. I have shown that I can set goals to help with my wellbeing such as me needing to get a better sleep. I will monitor my goals by checking my grade in socials frequently to make sure it is higher than a 80%. I advocate for myself by making sure I ask for help if needed.
