Weekly Blog #17: Locked In



 Hello ‘Ilima

     Another week goes by and we are just a couple days away from break. I’m so excited and this past week has been good. I finished up my yearbook page which I spent the whole week on. Some classes were really difficult to get pictures of because it was usually too dark but it all worked out in the end. I can’t wait for the finished product. Then, we had a science project this week. We basically had to find a way to terraform Mars with and then have to present it. My group’s idea was a full on operation to build factories on Mars. The presentation went well and the other group’s ideas were also good. The NHD project is at the point that we can start turning it in and I have been working on improving it so then I can put it into competition. We also had to try out a new curriculum in ELA which was boring. It was so long and they asked for too many things. At least I got the extra credit. The cover picture for the yearbook was starting to get made and I think it looks really good. Finally, I got to start teaching my dance and we got a lot done which is great. Overall this week was a lot of work but that means that I got a lot done


Leadership Shinning Their Lights Over the Cover


     A highlight from this week was going around the campus taking pictures for my yearbook page because it was fun and the end result was satisfying. Another highlight was the Kahoots we got to play during math. I should have won the 2nd one but I got 2nd place even though I got all of the questions correct. A lowlight from this week was trying out the new ELA curriculum because it was just very boring and I didn’t enjoy doing it. 

     A lesson I learned from this week was that momentum is key. This might sound weird but I have 2 examples from this week which shows that momentum is important. #1: Working on the yearbook was slow at the start but as I kept on getting more photos, I got faster and faster which made my work more efficient. #2: In the Kahoot, I went on a long streak of getting every question correct which crossed over multiple matches just because I was locked in. Getting a good rhythm makes work more quick and efficient. This concludes my blog and I wish you the best. Cheers to another day!

Year Blog: 2024-2025

Hello 'Ilima As I lay down on my bed, my phone starts ringing.  "Hey, it's John from the Book Club! Are you ready for the first meeting?" Oh no! I panic. When I first moved in, there was an advertisement for a book club and I decided to join it. The first meeting would be today and I would need to talk about a book I recently read. I looked around my house, trying to find the right book to talk about, but none of them stood out. None except "2425", I grabbed the book, got dressed, and dashed towards where the book club was being held.  "Hello everyone! Welcome to the first meeting of our book club. I hope you are all ready to share your books" John said, sitting from his spot in the group circle. After the first couple of people shared their books, it was then my turn to share. I took a deep breathe and then began talking. Summer: After 7th grade ended, there was a short break where we could relax before it was time for Bridge to start up again. Un...

Weekly Blog 3-7 (60): Meeting of the Victors

Hello 'Ilima What is up ‘Ilima! This week of school was much more of a ramp up week as next week is the big one. But that doesn’t mean this week wasn’t full of stuff to do. The biggest school event would be the Graduation Meeting. During this meeting, parents would learn about the 8th grade graduation and learn about the different parts of the graduation. There wasn’t very much to do as a leadership member, but it was still good to hear about the information for my graduation. That was the only school event, but I still had a bunch of class work. First, we have had this project in Computer Science where we need to guide a robot from one point to another. This project has been pretty frustrating at times because the robot sometimes just doesn’t do what you want it to do. And it’s hard to make changes to your programming because we are sharing the robot amongst the whole class, making it difficult to see the changes you make. I wish we had multiple robots in order for us to be able t...

Weekly Blog 3-6 (59): Shopping for Tests

 Hello ‘Ilima What’s is up! This week was only 4 days long, but was still full of many things. Starting with Leadership related things, we had the second Recognition Night of the year on Thursday. There was a lot less people this time, but it was still fun to cheer on the people who got good grades. I had gotten a 4.0 and walking up on stage was cool. The most interesting part of Recognition Night was what happened before it as me and some people from Leadership had fun doing random things outside. We had a race, listened to music, and more. Moving onto school stuff, we had the Science SBA this week. I was pretty anxious because I had no idea what to expect for the test. So when I first opened the test, I was met with a lot of things that I had not learned before. But I endured the pain and after two classes, I finished my SBA with Level 4. It was a terrible experience, but at least I got a good score. Final thing I will mention is that there was an ELA poster that we had to create...
