Personal Awareness and Responsibility
-Well-Being

-Self-Determination

-Self-Regulation

This year, I really attempted to work on my sense of self-determination and self-regulation, as I’ve never been a very independent or proud person. To accomplish this, I made sure I took an important role in a club I’ve participated in all year—DnD Club. I became a co-leader of sorts of the club and host the meetings on Thursdays the majority of the time. The main experience I want to highlight, however, would be the stall our club ran for the Miracle Movement Club. I ended up doing the majority of the planning for the stall alongside another member and ran it during my off-block, block 2. I took the time to plan out a game for people who arrived at the stall to play, even if the game didn’t get any players. I think this experience of planning and temporarily manning the stall helped me become more confident in my own abilities and aided my sense of responsibility and self-regulation in addition to the entire year’s experience. My goal is to continue building that sense of self-determination. 

Alongside this experience, I attempted to be more helpful towards others and heading many group projects to further bolster that sense of self-determination. I spearheaded a large project in my CLE10 class, which is another great example of self-determination even if that project hasn’t been graded yet. Woodwork 11 is another good example due to the independent nature of the elective. Taking Woodwork 9 last year was a far more dependent experience with set projects that you could do. Woodwork 11 is a completely different course in comparison which lets you pick which projects you want to make and take initiative in planning and creating them. 

All in all, I hope to continue pursuing this core competency and strengthen my knowledge of it even more heading into grade 11.
