[learning a new skill]
Using blender, I tried to make something new.
So i developed my skill of using blender. I hope I can make more fancy things later.
During the winter assembly, Audrey, Jing Xi, Kevin, and I performed APT to the whole high school.
I felt very nervous, but after it ended I was proud of myself.
I feel like I could have done much better, but it was a fun experience.
This is my vision board for 2025.
I included things including reading more, doing workouts, writing more, increasing sleep time, finding balance between schoolwork and rest time.
I hope this year, I can achieve more than I did last year.
Participating in the A Plate For All cooking challenge, Claire, Lisa, Ethan, Jayden, and I stayed after school until late at night on Friday to make food.
We chose our dish, shopped the ingredients, and made the food all by ourselves for the activity, and it was interesting.
I had a chance to have fun with my friends and increase my collaboration skills.
Because of a Language Service Club task, Lisa, Ethan Cho and I had a chance to teach Korean to random high school friends that wished to join.
Today, right before taking our yearbook photos, we acted out some skits that showed SAS EUAs to keep in our daily lives.
I of course learned that it is very important to respect others, keep guidelines in the online world, and not hurt others feelings. We have to be creative learners, effective collaborators, skillful communicators, ethical global citizens, and critical thinkers as we learned for the past 2 years. 👍
I think the activity that challenged me the most was the Dark Blue card, the “Citation Cypher,” because I was not enough used to citing sources.
I overcame the hardship by taking a careful look at the examples and template for citations. Also, I utilized tools such as EasyBib to check once more if I did the thing correctly.
One of my teammates was good at this and she did most of the work though.
Hello.
Yes I named the title like that due to my rebellious personality and to make people click this post. No meaning.
I remember using this website from 8th grade, during passion project, and it feels very nostalgic coming back to this site. Although I never actually wrote anything in the passion project portfolio. Fortunately no teacher was interested in checking everyone’s portfolios and making sure that they filled out the pages.
Now that I look back at 8th grade from a 9th grader’s view, I feel like I should have spent more time on playing and resting, rather than worrying about every activity and homework given to me.
I basically was worried about making friends, doing things in the climbing factory, my performance for passion project, shark tank, microcampus, every homework given from school, making a boyfriend (which I haven’t succeeded even until now), and zillions of other minor things that occurred in my life.
If I can go back to my 8th grade self and say something to her, I would definitely tell her that you did good, you’re doing good, and you’ll do good. So don’t crack your brain developing problems that shouldn’t even be considered problems.
And to sleep early.
And to DO YOUR HOMEWORK
IM SUFFERING FROM THE PROCRASTINATED WORK THAT YOU LEFT ME TO FINISH RIGHT NOW
Looking back at 8th grade, I had fun in climbing factory, enjoyed passion project, did okay for shark tank, had a lifetime experience in microcampus, finished all my homework (at 3 am because I spent time watching youtube 90% of the time), and had a crush for 6 months who I never even could talk to. I did quite well except for the depressing last part.
I hope I do well in high school.
Why have a digital portfolio at SAS?
Creating a portfolio, or blog is a great way to collect all the work you’ve done throughout your academic career. You can include academic, athletic, and personal artifacts or experiences that you want to share with a wider audience. This is a great way to organize all your learning in one place and you can take it with you when you leave SAS. When you make your portfolio, you create posts that are categorized according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you, but if you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:
- An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category. Think of this as the first opportunity to engage and hook your reader!
- Body – this is where you share your learning. This should include a combination of text and media in the form of images, graphics, and embedded videos. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging and organized? Do they want to keep reading?
- Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
- Tags – create tags that can be used as keywords to describe your post. Tags help organize your post a little more! Aim to have 3-5 tags for each post. For example, if you are posting about a novel you wrote, you might want the following tags: #Fiction, #MurderMystery, #Theme, #PlotDiagram
