Through the physics class, tackling difficult knowledge and understanding those allowed me to gain the ability to understand.

this year, at school, with myself, in a science experiment, doing analysis.
Understanding
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
Failed in test tried to recover from it.
Resilience
In my science classes, connections between topics are necessary to understand the topic fully. Through studying, I have built habits of making connections between topics and overall deepening my understanding of science and life in general.
Understanding
I had to work in groups for big picture and we had to cooperate as a group to make sure we made a good presentation.
Teamwork
In my mathematics class I often faced hardships with connecting certain topics to each other and deeply understanding the topics. although I felt neglected by my lack in ability, I was able to make that my drive and motivation towards studying maths. Because of my consistent fight against math, I was able to get a Rits 4 grade in my final math score.
