ME Card Core Competency Reflection

Passions

Some of my passions include music, movies, gaming, self improvement, cooking, and helping others. Music is probably my biggest passion as it offers an escape from all the distractions there are in the world. I really enjoy to just sit down, put on some headphones, and play an album in order from start to finish and experience the music.

Values

Some of my values are family, friends, religion, love, hapiness, and holidays. Coming from a Filipino househould, family and religion are my biggest values. I have quite a large family and one thing I have learned is that no matter what, family will always be there for you. Religion is another important value as faith is one of the most powerful thing one can have. Although it sounds a little corny, I believe religion is one of the most beautiful aspects of humanity, as it brings billions together in something that may or may not exist. Happiness is another value and I belive nobody has the right to dictate or criticise what makes other people happy, unless what makes them happy directly affects other peoples well being and happiness.

Future Plans

I’m looking forward to getting my drivers license, graduation, gettinga bacheloric degree/masters degree, starting a family, travelling, and retiring. I want to retire in the Philippines because I would rather be old and surrouned by family than in a retirement home sad and lonely. Travelling is also something I am looking forward to because I haven’t been on very many vacations.

Skills

Some of my top skills include, piano, computer stuff, social skills and weightlifting. My favourite skills are my social skills and weightlifting. I just really enjoy talking to people and making them laugh, and weightlifting is important to me as not only do I improve myself but it keeps my disciplined.

Reflecting On My First Year

My Grade 9 Year

My Grade 9 Year has been an incredibly fun experience. I’ve made new friends and had some of the best times with them. The work and assignments were reasonable and I got most of them done. This year has provided me with some of the best and worst experiences of my life; However I’d say this year has been very enjoyable.

My Favourite Website

https://quizlet.com/en-gb Has been my favourite website so far this school year. It carried me in socials and science. I would most likely be failing without it.

My Favourite Video

I chose this as my favourite video because the symbolism/message behind this video is what makes me love it. In the video, Tyler the Creators past albums/personas can be seen all standing around, with each one slowly being picked off by “normal” Tyler. Symbolising a change in self by dropping all the egos. With the final and most recent album being killed is CMIYGL or, Sir Baudelaire, the character with the biggest ego.

My Favourite Image

Out of many photos I have taken this year this one has to be my favourite. It’s just so visually appealing to me I don’t really know why.

this photo just goes hard

My Favourite Quote

“If we tryna build up to have material things, and those don’t satisfy our needs, what are we living for?”
-Capital Steez

I like this quote because it makes you think about the choices you have made and the person you want to be. If you spend all your time working towards expensive clothes, cars, jewellery, it makes you prioritise the things that don’t matter in life.
