Quarter 2's Reflection

      As another quarter passes, so does time. Who we were in the past is wildly different form who we are now. As students its our job to retain the knowledge we have learned and to honor our teachers efforts to guide us into our future.                                     https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_editors.asp     Our quota for quarter 2 was html.

New year, New me

   https://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/science-at-home/diy-science-fun/the-science-of-fireworks    As a new year starts, as they say a new person is also born. This doesn't particularly imply childbirth, it more so means the rebirth of someone who wants to improve themselves. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/holidays/g4069/new-years-quotes/      Last year I had a rude awakening to my situation. I am 15 years old, about to choose a strand that will choose my career and life in the future. I was shocked and completely frozen. With no idea with what I was doing nor did I know how to help myself. https://www.womansday.com/life/g30184967/new-years-quotes/      This year, 2024 I will find myself. I will figure out what I want to become and what I will do with my life. I have tons of expectations of myself, which eill not effect how I think of myself if I can't meet up to those expectations. https://www.countryliving.com/life/g4974/new-year-qu...
