And thus, the journey ends. The last CAS reflection, in a way, I’m not entirely sure how to conclude this last one. It would be better to reflect on this program as a whole instead of just this month, probably. But first, I will go over the timeline of my CAS project, as I haven’t … Continue reading Last CAS, March Reflection: The End of it All
This poem is called Golden Crown, Buried Beneath Ember Flames. It represents all sorts of emotions I felt after attending the film festival and watching Revolution of Our Times.

February is an interesting month because of the timing of our CNY break.

School starts and our desire to forge on drastically decreases, however, we still do, and here we are.

Action: I … Continue reading Mid January Engagement
It’s Christmas! Can’t say I did much more than I did during the first half of December. Action: Physical actions during the colder days do give a different feeling to the harsh training during summer.

December’s Engagement Reflection Activity: This fills the majority of my Decemeber activities as I do different activities throughout the day, not often for long periods of time, but numerous separated times.

My perspective as a knower is shaped through the intricacies of my mind, whether the complex or the radical. My object, the manifesto to my cult, is essentially a preview to my mind, a simple trailer to show all of the unknowables.

My Moment. We’ve all had a moment, a moment where realization hits us harder than a truck.

Handbooks come in a variety of ways yet they serve generally the same purpose, and I can go on but that’s not what I want to talk about. Whilst reading MAK’s handbook I was wondering, is using Christian biblical references and ideals a good way to make a handbook?

1.) Risk taking, for only using a little bit of time to finish the summative as well as doing things that I have never tried before. Also, there are some other easier ones but I think that is stupid, like thinkers, of course we have to think in this summative what kind of goofy question … Continue reading Science Unit 4 Reflection: Energy

Guiding Questions: What Skills Did You Use to Help You Learn?

It’s is a combination of organic and geometric symbols, a rather busy piece of artwork with little space between the lines that I used. The circles that surround the centerpiece of my artwork was thought of … Continue reading Pattern Design and Reflections
