DI Regionals can suck. Luckily, this year it didn’t, and instead, it was full of feelings of worry and doubt, but then slightly less worry and doubt, and then finally pride and joy. But what made me feel that way this year, well, that’s what this post is going to be about.
If I say “that guy’s crazy,” what do you think that means? Most likely, you’re thinking about the mad kind of crazy with smashing things and all that, but the kind of crazy I’m talking about is the one that geniuses get called, the kind that innovators get called, the kind that people say when something life-changing happens, and that kind of crazy is what we had to learn about on our latest project “cray cray yay yay”.
“Who are you?” It seems like an easy question to answer, but if I told you to really give it some thought and give me a deep answer on who you are, most likely after you gave it some thought you’d agree that it’s not as easy of a question to answer than it sounds. Even for me, when I was asked that question, I got stuck, and then we were told that we were going to do a whole project going over the questions like “who are you” and “What kind of person do you want to be?” I thought that this project would be a cakewalk and I would be able to do all the work without ever really needing to think about it. But then we watched (Michelle Obama who are you gonna be?). And I realized how important and impactful these kinds of questions really are and especially just how difficult they would be to answer.
Over the course of the past month or so in PLP, everyone has been getting ready for the winter exhibition, and this year our project was about apologizing and what an apology is. We studied the history of discrimination towards three different Asian groups in BC, and then we were each tasked in groups of three with making a memorial to remember one of those groups and what happened to them.
This year, I’ve been trying to get more organized and hand in all my stuff on time. There’s a new class called Personal Growth and Positivity, or PGP for short, which focuses on exactly that. This is my first PGP blog post of the year. ‘New Year New Me’ was the name of the project that the PGP teachers introduced to us, posing the driving question, ‘What strategies can I use to maintain balance in my life and support my own well-being?’
Welcome back. In this post, I’m going to talk about my most recent humanities project: Save Juno Beach. The project was about the importance of Canada’s role in World War II and why we should learn about it, as well as learning about World War II in general.
