I'm a passionate and curious person who dreams of making a positive impact on the world. I'm deeply interested in neuroscience, music (especially playing the violin), and drawing. I enjoy learning, staying active, and challenging myself. I'm motivated by my desire to learn more about my surroundings, help others and become the best version of myself.

LEADERSHIP

It's a strength because I encourage people to do everything to their best ability, while they also trust my decisions.

TIME MANAGEMENT

I often have a hard time meeting deadlines for my assignments and allocating sufficient time to tasks.

This is an area for growth because it's difficult for me to stay committed to some goals like daily violin practice and even when I use TikTok, an extra five minutes can turn into an hour.

I often shy away from social events and can't hold a conversation with someone I've just met for more than two minutes.

I find making and following timetables confusing, so I just stick to To-do lists, but they are not as structured or time-bound.

In 8th grade, I was the head girl. This responsibility came with several speeches, student talks, and activities that included talking to a large group of people. One time, I was tasked with giving a motivational speech to 10th graders who would sit a national exam. At the end, the principal complimented me on a job well done.

I recently took pictures highlighting the different elements of design for an assignment in my Photography course. I experimented with numerous angles, lighting and subjects. My teacher commended me for my creativity in the way I captured the subjects and gave me a high score.

Last semester, I took the ICD2O course, which included a coding unit. I was able to use CodeHs, a coding website, to learn HTML and CSS, earn 4 badges of achievement, and create a website of my own. I also created a portfolio to showcase my work and got positive feedback from my teacher.

CODING TUTOR

Having pointed out my strengths in these areas, I believe I can tutor beginners in coding because I finished the full HTML and CSS design course.

Learning photography has equipped me with the skills I need to start capturing beautiful moments at events I'm invited to. I could even make a living out of it as a bonus.

My continuous exposure to platforms like Canva and Adobe Photoshop has enabled me to learn graphic design skills. I believe I can help people design, posters, banners, edit images, and presentations.

Throughout this course, I’ve gained practical skills and insight that will help me navigate life beyond high school. One of the most valuable things I learned was how to set effective goals. Instead of vague dreams, I now know how to create SMART goals. Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. They help me stay focused and motivated.

Stress management was another key topic. I used to ignore stress or push through it without addressing the cause. Now, I understand the importance of self-awareness and strategies like time-blocking, physical activity, and mindfulness to maintain balance and avoid burnout.

Financial responsibility was eye-opening. Learning how to budget, track expenses, and understand credit has helped me realize how important it is to make informed financial decisions early on. It’s not just about avoiding debt. It’s about building a foundation for financial independence.

Finally, post-secondary planning has helped me clarify my future. Whether it's university, college, or another path, I’ve learned to research programs, understand admission requirements, and think about what aligns with my interests and strengths. I feel more confident about my options and how to take the steps toward them.

This course helped me reflect on the kind of future I want and how to work toward it with intention. I now feel more prepared to handle the challenges ahead and excited about what’s possible.
