- Growth (Athletics Banquet Award – Social Responsibility)
During the past few years at Charles Best, I have actively participated in sports teams and clubs such as the Archery Club, Swim Team, and Badminton Team. My drive to thrive in these sports demonstrated strong Social Responsibility. I love contributing to our school’s communities and building relationships with others who share my passion for these sports. Due to my dedication, I received the “Most Improved in Aquatics” Award at the athletics banquet. I was chosen to represent my swim team out of over 30 members, which was a great honor. My coach described me as “a team player who steps up to the plate when her relay teammates need her, despite having back-to-back races,” for which I am immensely grateful. - Demonstration (Fashion Industry 12 – Creative Thinking)
I’ve grown the most in Creative Thinking this year by enrolling in a class called Fashion Industry 12. A final inquiry project in this class required us to create something of our own, expanding our creative abilities in fashion. I chose to crochet a top; however, being someone who had never crocheted before, I had a lot to learn. With the guidance of YouTube and tips from my teacher Ms. Doll, I successfully crocheted my first skirt and made a seven-minute video highlighting my entire progress. Enrolling in Fashion Industry 12 was the best choice for growing my creativity. - Chemistry 11/12 (Goals – Critical Thinking Skills)
Next, I will focus on developing my Critical Thinking skills. Currently, I am enrolled in Chemistry 11, which requires a high degree of critical thinking for me to understand thoroughly. I aim to complete this course successfully and, next year in Grade 12, achieve a grade I am happy with. I will work towards this goal by studying diligently during my current Chemistry 11 course.
