Teamwork allowed me to improve my study habits
Teamwork
I worked a lot with other people in CAS groups such as the ecology center.
Teamwork
I learned different ways to study that worked better for me.
Innovation
After I took my Japanese Exam of Set 2, both the listening and reading, I felt defeated and like a failure because even though I had been putting extra effort into learning more for around a year, I felt I had improved very little. Shortly After this, I called my mom and spoke about how the test made me feel, and she helped me realize that there was nothing more I could do than try my best, as I had, and while that was a bit disappointing, the idea that I had tried my best and still failed, it was comforting.
Resilience
My grades evolving from middle school to highschool. I began with red marks in many classes like math and underperformed in comparison to my peers. I even failed Japanese, despite working on it very diligently and going to juku as it was my nonnative language. However, as the years progressed from 7th grade to 11th grade I've gotten more used to assessments, managing my study time, and learning efficiently. acquiring notably better grades in the subjects I study hard in and boosting my overall GPA.
Resilience
In the last exam, I wasn't doing very well in Global Politics especially paper 2 but I reflected on myself and worked hard on improving my scores. In this exam, I did better than before which I am proud of myself for doing but I think there is still a lot of room for improvement and I want to continue working on my writing skills.
Resilience
this year, at school, with myself, studying, and realizing that I can do better when I solved more problems. I learned that I can do better from my mistakes.
Resilience
I experienced a low score on the exam which allowed me to be motivated and reflect on the studies I have done.
Resilience
Successfully able to perform an experiment
