In English 09, I memorised all 80 lines of my parts in the Shakespeare Midsummer Night’s Dream project, which was an excellent example of personal awareness and responsibility because I was able to be my own self motivator when memorising, which allowed me to stay focused and determined. My motivation being me wanting to succeed, not the approval of my parents or teacher, I was able to memorise all the lines in an emotional fashion not just reading them out but, acting with my hands and body movement. Being my own motivator is my best skill and will be useful in the future as many people depend on others to tell them what to do. That mindset is installed in children’s minds starting from kindergarten, essentially having someone always there to lead the way for them. However this is not the case from high school to adulthood and that’s where this skill is important to have because we no longer have the luxury of someone holding our hand and telling us what to do.

In Communication 09, I created and developed 18 scenes for our short film project, which was an excellent example of creative thinking because in order to create an interesting and compelling plot line I had to be imaginatif in the way I thought to come up with new ideas. Not only did I have to make each scene unique but I also made sure every scene seamlessly connected together using a bit of my critical thinking. Including my peers’ ideas was also important as it was a group assignment and listening to their own creative ideas helped the overall story be more thrilling.

In Physical education 09, the numerous team activities I did were all excellent examples of social responsibility because teamwork was a big part of it and teamwork calls for communicating with others in a peaceful way making sure to value their differences. Helping those who were less skilled in the task was another way I demonstrated my social responsibility as it calls for care and patience. In P.E. I was able to improve my relation building skills in talking to new people and learning new things about them. Not only did I practise my social skills I also used my problem solving skills in teamwork situations. Overall in P.E. I developed my social responsibility the most.
