Art Reflection

In art 10 one of our projects entailed of picking four words out of four different hats. One word was a location one was an item and the last two were styles of art. My four words were paris,diamond,simplification and texture. After you got your four words you had to think of a design using any thing you want. I did the Eiffel tower with a simple diamond ring around and in the background there were clouds that had texture and a blue sky. I decided that my piece was the final product when all the words were incorporated and I was happy how they were placed out. I incorporated the design principles by taking the two that I choose and made sure that they were incorporated in at least one part of the project. I prefer to work with paint because I think it is a forgiving medium if you mess up you wait for it to dry and paint over. I feel relaxed in art while doing this project I can do my work while still talking to my friends and not getting overly stressed. Creativity adds a lot to my life it lets my life be more relaxed. Creativity played a huge part in this project because all you are given are four words and you need to use your imagination to find and idea and branch off from it. Art will not be a main focus in my future but in some parts in my life when I need to use creativity I will look back to my art days and try and use my imagination and try and be creative. The highlight shows that I am not the most artistic person but when I apply myself things can happen. 

Volleyball Coaching Reflection

In grade 10 I decided to help my volleyball club coach grade 6-8 volleyball. I really enjoyed it that is why I choose to write my reflection on it. I feel it is important to help others and give back to the community because other people have helped and the community have or will help me in some point. I believe in karma if I do something good something good will happen to me. It is important to incorporate service into your lifestyle because I believe that lifestyle is like the four strands must be equally balanced out with service athletics academics/a job and arts. I will carry this into the rest of my life by coaching volleyball once I can no longer play volleyball I hope to coach. I want to do this because people shared there love of volleyball with me and I would like to share my love with someone else. This project enhances someones life by getting learn volleyball from people that are close to their age and the get to share the love of the sport with someone else. I changed as an individual because I preformed better as an athlete after seeing how hard the kids worked. They worked hard so they could become better players and it showed me how to do that as well. Some connections between the experience and employable skills are working with younger kids and teaching them will help me in a job situation using the leaderships skills I learned will help me in a job because i needed to lead and work together at the same time with other people.

Science 10 Reflection

In grade 10 science started out with a rocky start. I really wanted to get a good mark because I would like do go into sciences in university Science 10 changed my approach to courses in the way that I know now that I need to start applying myself more and start putting a full effort in. I chose to write about science because this is the subject that I love and would like to go into later on in life. I have learned a lot from science 10 I have learned that science is not an easy field and that it will not just come to you, you need to  try your hardest. I will carry on this knowledge into university and the job I would like to go into. For the rest of my life in science I will try my hardest and know it will not just come to me I need to try. Doing science 10 in the way that I did help me build upon my knowledge of that hard things do not come to you no matter how much you want it you must try as hard or more than you want it. Many of skills improved after science 10. I learned how to study more efficiently and harder and not to just wait until the hour before. Also my general science skill improved much by taking a harder level of science compared to the year before. I gained a lot from this course I learned how much I love science and I also learned that I want to go into sciences and use the skills for the rest of my life. I believe that with out the teaching of collingwood I would not be able to succeed in boosting my science mark.

During the grade 10 year I was very busy riding my horse. This was my sixth year of riding and this year I did not let myself get sidetracked from it for many year volleyball and friends came first and I would always still ride but not as competitively in grade 10 I worked very hard so I could have a good show season. 

Volleyball Coaching Highlight

In grade 10 I decided to help my club coach grade 6-8 volleyball. I really enjoyed the opportunity to help share my love of the sport with younger children. I loved coaching interacting with kids not that much younger than me was amazing and seeing in improvement over the two and half months of coaching was very satisfying. I am very happy that I did help coach and I cant wait til do it next year.
