I love movies. My friends and I live at the move theatre. I personally love horror films. I like to feel the suspense and fell the rush of adrenaline. I love to shout at the screen when I'm at home watching a horror film on the character's actions. I hate when they do remakes, its never as good as the original. Beside horror films, I do like a good action films. I don't mind a good car chase with guns being fired off. I also like a good plot twist that blows my mind. Therefore, one my favourite movies are the saw series. Even though they starts off slow the ending always blows my mind. It's like watching the matrix for the first time. I love movies, it like a passion of mine. It's a great way to escape reality for couple of hours.

English 12 - lesson in life
There are are lots of lesson I have learned in life. One of the most important lesson I have learned is learning from our mistakes. As all of are humans we make mistake since no one is perfect. I have made lots of mistakes but I have also learned a lot from my mistakes. Such as, not to trust other individuals easily, take precaution, be careful who to choose to trust and who to tell your secrets to. I have also learned what to do and what not to do in certain sisituion. Making a mistake is not the end of the world as it does feel that way sometimes. Learning from them is what we take out of our mistakes. I personally can say from my mistakes I have gained plenty of knowledge so in the future I would be able to be successful. No one is perfect so, learning from our mistakes is how we learn and grow as a human being. I feel I have grown a lot from my mistakes.
English 12 - Favorite Book
I love to read books. Especially, siting inside on a raining day with a warm blanket and a cup of tea. One of my favorite books of all time is pride and prejudice by Jane Austen. I just enjoyed how Mr. Darcy intense personality and Elizabeth wittiness. I loved how the author showed the presence of true love through Mr.Darcy and Elizabeth. This book was filled with passion, heartbreak and intenseness. Which I found it made a very real page turner. I found it interesting to see how Elizabeth's pride makes her misjudge Mr.Darcy due to his impression on the poor class status and Mr. Darcy isprejudice on Elizabeth poor socials standing. I love how the author set this story during the time where women were expected to behave a certain way. Their reputation was very important. To see Elizabeth break the social norm was fascinating to read. This book takes the readers on a journey. Therefore, this book is one of favourite books because it filed with courtship, reputation, class and love.
English 12 - Personal Goals
I have lots of personal goals. I want to do many things in life. For insist I want to go to university and finish university in four years. Then, I would like to start my career off and maybe settle down. For long term I would like to finish off my bucket list! Also, would also like to treat my parents to a nice vacation. Short term I will like to start working out daily and start to eat more healthy. Setting personal goals keeps me together. I set myself a due date in order for me to live my life. I have tons of long and short term personal goals that help keep my life on the way I want to.

Final Portfolio Assessment - 2013/14
Social Responsibility and Contribution to the Class - Whenever we are playing a game or during fitness, I encourage others by giving them hi fives or by saying "good job", encouraging words. This make the other person feels good about themselves it build confidence.If someone is alone and does'nt have a partner i would include the person in our group.Anytime Mr. Neuf or our TA is organizing games or teams, I would pay attention to see if i could do anything to help or to just understand how to play this game or to see which team i have been put into.I usually help get equipment but I mostly help by putting away equipment like for dodgeball i will help put the extra dodgeballs away or in capture the flag and ultimate I'll help set up and collect the cones, football or frisbees. I have positive attitude towards every activity we do in gym and towards others. I figured out that if you start the pe class with a negative attitude your most likely to hate the activity that we were going to do but if you start with positive attitude you are most likely to have a good time and enjoy the activity. I like trying something new to get the experience. For my Social Responsibility and Contribution to the Class, I think I deserve 21/25.
Healthy Living- Each time we did the beep test I have improve each one. I started off at a 7.7 and ended off with a 8.2. I was amazed with my scores.In grade 9 I took foods, we learned all about healthy eating so this it wasn't a big deal because i was already was eating healthy. It's really important to try and have the four food groups in mostly all of your meals for insistence for breakfast you can have scrambled eggs with toast on the side and a glass of orange juice.Sometimes, when my whole family is free we all go and play tennis, its so much fun and intense i love it or occasionally my mom and i would go for a walk around the neighborhood. If not i have this app on my ipod. What it is it has different exercises that you can do in 7 minutes for example like jumping jack, plank, v- sits,lunges etc. i usually do that at least once a day unless if i skipped a day i would have to make it up the next day. For Healthy Living I think I deserve 18/25.

Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills: First when I heard we had to do blogs I was freaking out because I didn't know what to do. This was my fist time doing blogs for pe so at the beginning of the year I was still confused on what to do but as the year went by I got the use to it. So my blog has improved since beginning of the year, now I'm regularly posting about what I did in pe with evidence. By posting photos, it allowed me to see if i lacked in structure or not, if i did i could improve it.I usually read my peers blogs to see what they took from the activity that we did and to comment on them to encourage them and to give them tips to improve if they need it. My goals is to continue eating healthy and maintain my fitness level by doing activities during the summer such as playing tennis, riding my bike, playing basketball, going for a jog, run, go skating etc. When I do exercise at home its good to search up what muscle you want to work on so it would be much easier just like what our class did in the weight room.For my Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills I think I deserve 22/25.
