My Grade 9 Year
This year I am most proud of my math grade. This year I took math 10 honours, and science 9 and 10 honours. I have always been a good student, and never had to try too hard in middle school to get good grades. However, when we dove into the first lesson in math 10, it was difficult. I actually had to study for the tests, and I had homework almost every day. Although the course was harder than I’d imagined, I was determined to do my best. Test after test I kept studying hard, and I ended the course with a 97%. I was really proud of myself for working so hard during the semester, and I ended up enjoying the class a lot.
A Useful Educational Website
https://www.google.com/?safe=active&ssui=on
Google is the most useful website in the world, and it is a life saver when it comes to school. Whenever I have a question about my homework or I don’t understand a vocab word for a test, I can turn to Google knowing that I can find the answer. Google is also amazing for directing people to websites when you need to do research for a project, or assignment.
A Useful Educational Video
This is a video about meiosis, and how it’s different from mitosis. My science teacher in semester 1, Mr. Asano, used this video to demonstrate how meiosis works. I found the cartoons and visuals really helpful to actually visualize the different stages of meiosis. The Amoeba Sisters also get to the point quickly, clearly, and I have watched several videos of theirs.
A Useful Educational Image
This is an image of a ball launcher that I made in my science class in the first semester. I chose this image, because this saved me and my group’s project. After we launched the ball a couple of times, the elastic bands and ruler broke. We had launched the ball really far, so we wanted to keep the same design. If we didn’t have this image, we wouldn’t have been able to put it back together the same way.
An Inspirational Quote
“Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.” – Marcus Aurelius
I chose this quote because I really agree with the meaning. What Marcus Aurelius means from this quote is that you can’t improve yourself without putting yourself through struggle and hard work. This applies to how I wanted to be a better student, and how I worked hard through math 10. This applies to sports, and how I trained hard to be part of the junior centennial boys soccer team. This quote resonates deeply with me, and that is why I chose it.
