My First Year

My first year in high school has been very thrilling. Some words that could describe my year are exciting and awkward. My year was exciting as I got to make many new friends and learning new things. My year was also very stressful. From being around a 79% in math to getting it all the way up to an 86%. The year was also very awkward. Since I was not used to such a big campus (I went to Maillard), navigating around the school and bumping into people was very weird.

The reason I chose this website is because I have used this website in both semesters for my Sci9 and Sci10 classes. We did most of our interactive learning on this website for our physics unit. This website has many useful resources and demonstrations for how energy is transferred or even ant physics topic you could think of. This website has helped me a lot and still helps me to this day for any questions I might have for physics.

The reason I chose this video is because I first saw this video in Leadership 10 and this video demonstrates how little acts of people can change another person’s life. The speaker in the video calls it a “Lollipop Moment”. He calls it a lollipop moment because just like giving a lollipop to a child can change their day and make them happy, a lollipop moment can change someone’s life. Since i have watched this video, it has motivated me even more to do things that could change other people’s lives.

The reason I chose this image is because I took this image in math when I was unable to solve these types of problems. It took me around a week to understand how to solve it. I also remember looking at this problem the night before my math finals and then two questions of this type came on my final. I am very grateful to this image or i might have gotten a low mark on my final.

The reason I chose this quote is because it tells us how we can achieve something good if even if something bad happens to us. It also tells us that we should not give up hope and feel demotivated.
