Snow

Snow is falling down heavily

Color disappear White appear

Snow, snow and more snow

(Haiku)

Core Competency

I generate new ideas as I pursue my interests
:I love snow. As I move to Canada, I experienced heavy snow and I was my first time to experience that much heavy snow. The scenery was totally unfamiliar to me. Due to snow, its color, white, covered all around the world and I could not find ‘colorful’ while snowing. Tree, house, road, etc.. white were all covered the world. And it continued for almost 4 days, continuously falling down. I think this poem shows up my fun toward the snow, and how I felt while snowing. I could express my interest with my own creative thinking.

Freesia

The start of the spring

Expressing innocent and trust and thoughtful

Happily yellow scatters

Core Competency

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy.

:Freesia is one of my favorite flower. When I buy freesia and put in my room, I feel happiness and joy. As its flower language, friendship, trust, thoughtfulness, and innocence, I feel a sense of accomplishment and joy while thinking about freesia. In a peom “I wandered lonely as a cloud” by William Wordsworth, speaker changes positively when he thinks of daffodils. For me, freesia works sames as daffodils.

Core Competency “I can” statement Artifact Reflection 
Personal & Social Personal Awareness and Responsibility I can recognize my strengths and take responsibility for using strategies to focus, manage stress, and accomplish my goals. Juxtaposed Plant Watercolour  Before doing the Juxtaposed Plant Watercolour drawing, I have to think about the specific draft since it was my first time to do watercolour drawing. Because I wasn’t in the class when the watercolour drawing practice was held, the drawing itself was a burden for me. So, I searched for some videos about watercolour and tried to catch up on the skills. I learned a few strategies from various videos and started to draw the first draft of my watercolour drawing. As the drawing should contain the juxtaposed image, it also took a lot of time to look up some references. I eventually decided to mix Arctic and Desert, I carefully placed each one. At first, I mixed water and paints and slowly layered out the background. My background theme was Arctic, so I did a lot of layering to emphasize the difference between glaciers. Cracks were layered more in order to clearly show where the boundary was. For cactus, I sometimes mixed the colours, or layered them out. It was a little bit stressful for me at first, but it was fun to see the drawing slowly accomplished. By engaging in this assignment, I was able to control my stress, use strategies in proper way, and successfully accomplish my goals.

I show others that I truly value their contributions by…

Recently, the leadership is regarded as one of the most important talent. Many schools make leadership programs or the programs related to leadership in order to grow students’ leadership. And I think, I have a leadership to lead a group, which raises members’ contributions. Before I come to Canada, I was a leader in most of the groups. I was prime minster of our school, and was in charge of many projects. During many activities, I met many kinds of people and experienced various types of tasks. Based on my background, I can deal with lots of difficulties and adjust members’ opinion without polemic. This part makes me contribute in every group works.

Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include…

When something hard to deal with comes, I usually watch nextflix. Thinking about difficulties always makes me more stressful. I just procrastinate, and try to stay calm. There is old saying ‘This too shall pass’. This proverb emphasizes the value of time, and this cannot be more true in modern society. Pushing back doesn’t bring the good result, but it is certain that times sometimes heals the wounds. In addition, just to stay healthy, I try to walk. I literally love walking, so sometimes I walked to school, although it takes about 40 minutes. Walking helps me to stay healthy and fresh my brain.

One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is…

I love drawing. While drawing, I feel like given to daydreaming. It makes me image about unknown things. Watching movies also stimulates my imagination. While watching movies, I think about details on it, and just wondering about it. Or sometimes I think about the relationship between main role deeply. I’m not certain it is imagination, but it makes me thinking about next scenario, same as thinking about unknown things.
