Grade 11 - Choice Highlight #2 - My fitness regime

This year I decided to create a healthy eating and fitness regime to follow. This consisted of running the area aroudn the school each day or participiting in my Mom's fitness class at West Vancouver Rec Center.  I also replaced unhealthy foods with more filling, healthy options such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and lean meats. This regime allowed me to have mroe energy and feel better about myself!

Grade 11 - Arts Reflection - Photography Final Project

This year in photography I completed many different projects. I learned how to better use my SLR camera and expand upon my knowledge of photography. Before this year I had only experimented with this art form, but Photo 11 was differnet. I was able to release my creativity and create photographs I was truly proud of.

The final project this year was an independant proejct. I could decide what the outline would be and execute it on my own time. This was different for me because I was used to being told the outline of the project and what was expected then simply completing the required photographs.  For this project, I chose to do macro (extremely zoomed in) photogrpahy of raw food found in the kitchen. For example, almonds, dry pasta, various fruits, and crackers.  This project allwoed me to express myslef and show the type of photos I wanted to to the class .I was very excited to have the independace of this project and was very proud of the results :)

This is the link to my flickr page from the year and below are some photos that were created through this final project.

This year I took my first ever AP course, Human Geography. I loved this course and it was very interesting to me. The topics were relevant and I liked how I could apply it to my every day life. I also scored a 4 on the exam, which was a great way to end off the year!!

Grade 11 - Service Highlight - Encounter XXI

This year I went back on encounter XXI as a leader. This experience was very rewarding for me and I think everyone can get a lot out of the encounter program. I had a lot of fun making new friends and being a part of the planning process throughout the year.
