In CLE 10, we worked on our financial projects over the course of a month, which was a great demonstration of the critical thinking core competency. In this project, we had to think critically and consider different options and methods to afford various necessities later in life. For example, we had to consider the benefits of buying groceries in bulk, different modes of transportation, and what entertainment sources were the most cost effective and relevant to us. I had to compile and analyze information from different sources, then apply my own judgment and personal experience, to make a decision and reflect on my choices. Additionally, through the course of the semester, I’ve grown the most in the creative thinking core competency. In my English class, I practiced looking at media, like Aladdin and Star Wars with an open mind, and writing essays on individually generated interpretations of the content we were shown. Additionally, I had to use my imagination to create plot and characters in my time travel short story, using inspiration and skills we developed from examples given in class. In the future, I will focus on developing my social responsibility core competency further. I have begun practicing making contributions to my community and solving problems I see in CLE 10, where my group members and I spoke with NaloxHome to learn about what they offer to the community and their contribution to solve British Columbia’s drug crisis. However, I would like to get further involved by volunteering with charities and organizations in my community to make an even larger contribution than simply spreading awareness.
