Rights are never truly thought about until they’re removed. And it’s simple why that is. The idea of human rights comes from the expectations that a human should be granted, which is why when people have them, they don’t think twice. They’re the norm. But the moment the things that are be expected to be…
I’m Not Who You Think I Am
Hello, my name is Daniel Boglari, and welcome to my end of year presentation of learning. I’d just like to say that this is going to be a little different than other presentations you may have watched, and this might be quite unexpected for some of you, especially my parents. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget…
Your Life Ends a Lot Sooner Than You Think
How you present yourself matters. A lot. People will take one look at you and decide they like or don’t like you, and they’ll do that regardless of what you say and do. In fact, they’ll actively look for things that support their initial judgment, and disregard things that don’t. Saying that out-loud makes me…
When an Unseen Purpose Meets an Untempered Passion
You’ve probably heard the expression “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” before. Its fairly common, and it makes sense. If something works, it works. It doesn’t need fixing, so best use your time elsewhere. But what if I told you that most of the greatest changes in our society have been caused by the…
How to Care About Whether or Not You Care (And How DI Relates to That).
This title doesn’t make a lot of sense until you fully understand it. It’s probably not even worded very well. But the point I’m going to make to you will change your life. Destination Imagination has unintentionally taught me a skill that has proven to be more important than any of the skills that DI…
A Rather Crazy Sneak Peek

Your Life is a Story, So Make it Worth Reading.
Strength, Skill, and Intelligence. The measurable qualities that society seams to define people from. Sure, they do matter, but are they really the end all be all qualities that make a person who they are? Or are there other qualities that will not only make you a happier person, but will actually help you increase…
The Future is the Product of What We Make of the Past
Welcome back to my blog! I just finished my third Humanities project of my grade 10 year, and I’m gonna say, I’m really proud of it. The Ology of Apology This project was called Ology of Apology, and the idea was to learn about how apologies work and how they’re made. The curriculum learning for…
How I Changed My Life (Pre-POL 2023-2024)
Before we begin I’d like to make a disclaimer: This post is going to be much more personal than any of my other posts. To me, this was more than just a PGP project, it was an evaluation of my life, and an exploration of what makes me happy. Hello! My name is Daniel, and…
The Reshaping of Our World
Welcome back to my blog! In the second Humanities project of my grade 10 year, we learned all about World War II. Historical Significance The main focus of the project was using evidence to support arguments, but we also learned about historical significance. I really expanded my idea of how events influence our everyday lives,…
