In the school year thus far, I have demonstrated Creative thinking, Collaboration and communication.
Firstly, in my science we had a group project where we had to make a roller coaster. In this project I had to collaborate with my group members to help each other in successfully creating a working roller coaster. Working together with each other made it way easier to create a better output when using our time wisely and staying on task while still having fun with friends while gain some valuable information that I will be able to use for future projects or in m y future.
Secondly, also in my science class in the same group project I demonstrated good creative thinking skills as I had to brainstorm and come up with valuable ideas that my group could use in our final product. Using these ideas, I was able to use them in successfully creating a working roller coaster while having fun.
Lastly, in my careers class I demonstrated good communication skills as for our YPI project it took lots of careful planning and good communication to create a good and meaningful project. I had to communicate with my group to plan out dates and to plan out our final project. With out communication in groups, it makes it extremely difficult to do good on our project.

The NHL has an initiative called “Hockey Is for Everyone.” I have played and enjoyed hockey for most of my life.  I’ve been playing hockey since I was 4 years old and most people I talk with enjoy watching hockey even if they have never stepped on the ice before.  I agree with this statement, and I think that if everyone takes a chance to watch hockey, they will enjoy it. I think that hockey is a world sport played in most countries and I think that hockey brings us all closer together. I think that hockey is one of the most entertaining sports that you could watch as it is fast-paced and exciting. An example of how intense and entertaining this sport is is during the IIFH here’s an example, “The Czech Republic upsets Finland, 4-3 in a shoot out to advance to the semis. Kristian Reichel of the Czech Republic beats Finnish goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the overtime shootout. The Czechs won, 4-3, to advance.” This is an example of how hockey can brings us all closer together. This was during a world hockey event called the IIHF or the world juniors. This is an event that happens all year around with the national team competing for a spot in the tournament. Most countries have a national team, and it is popular in most countries. There are men’s teams and women’s teams, this shows how inclusive and competitive these events are. This is a big deal all around the world and I know lots of people that watch this tournament even if they don’t play hockey. This event is much like the Olympics or the FIFA world cup but it is for hockey of course with teams competing to qualifying to get a spot in the tournament. I love watching this event and I love the intensity and supporting my country and it would be my dream to one day compete in one of these events.

This article claims that the B.C. Ministry of Land and Resource Stewardship is claiming that they have found white nose syndrome in bats has been found in bat feces in the Grand Forks area.

I do not know if this site is a reliable one but i searched it up on Snobes.com and it had no information on the subject.

Then I searched it up on Wikipedia and couldn’t find anything on the subject in BC but i did find information on white nose syndrome.

I look on the internet and found loads of other article like this one on more reliable sources like CBC and global news.

In conclusion i think that this article is 100% true.

Hello and today I will be talking about my experience at my mum’s work BCIT.

I heard people talking and laughing, and smelt food in some places. I saw lots of different buildings with people learning different things like woodwork, how to be a nurse, and even more! The campus was very big with lots to do.  I even got to try some of the different classes there!

At first, I thought it would be cool to work here but then I realized how much my mum had to work.  I think for me it would be hard to be a teacher.  I think something that would discourage me from working there would be having bad students.  But something good about working here is you get lots of benefits like you to get free health care, you get supplies paid for you, you get lots of vacation time and you get paid even when you retire.
