Community Impact Makers

For my final project of PLP, we focused on impact. Specifically community impact makers that we have some type of connection to. We worked to refine our definitions of impact, primarily through studying what made a “crazy one”, a term from an apple ad that seemed to be a big inspiration for this project. We […]

Macbeth Madness

The most recent PLP project is (almost over), and as I march ever forwards towards my graduation these blog posts become more and more valuable to me. A chance to take a step back and reflect, -albeit for only one course- is a needed pace change, in these hectic last months of my highschool journey. […]

The Ubiquitous Party of Canada

Today, I’m sharing with you the press release for my political party. This is a brand new PLP project, that project being to form a political party that brings something new to Canada. This has proven to be incredibly challenging, while this project is incredibly interesting, I would argue that none of us can really […]
