What Happened?
Never mention the timing of this blog because it is a spider web, in my brain. Supposedly, blog #2 was supposed to be due ages ago – but for I am only a human (with a bad habit of procrastinating) – I have left this one out for far too long. However, I will still take this opportunity to really consolidate what took place within those times to make sure I see the efforts I’ve put in!
One thing that I appreciate about the Grade 12s AEP students is that we never back down from any word games. Be it with the ones that will take us 45 minutes, best believe that we will sit there and finish everything. We have went from wordle to squardle to diffle and so much more.
Presentation
Consolidating from our past lesson, we have completed our topic in mastering the art of presentation. From the language we use, to the font size, to the volume of our voice – every nook and cranny have been talked through to tackle all sides of presenting. We have had two chances at doing so, to really apply the technical skills we have learned. Though presenting can be nerve wrecking sometimes because of the amount of preparation required before doing it, I really find myself enjoying learning as it allows me to break patterns that I have been practicing for years. There is also this sense of comfort that comes with sharing your personal stories to your classmates (sentimental again that I’m graduating shh).
Project: Breathe
One of the key events was the project Breathe, which in truth, I have completed only halfway through. However, I do have good experiences in those few days I’ve done it! To be fair, I have always been a person who enjoys meditation. Primarily because sometimes my anxiety could get the best of me, and because of that, I need to create my own bubble in which my space is ultimately mine to control and occupy. Kind of a getaway. There was this one time when I decided to meditate during night time, after I had come home from a tough school day and I had found myself absolutely knocked out 5 minutes in. I do feel slightly guilty that the man was talking to basically no one, but the point is that it was really nice to let things off of my shoulder and just care about nothing else but the counts of my breath.
Biggest takeaway
1. Stop running away from blogs
2. Just continue with the pace of learning!
Thankyou for your blog :)
