Kunsel Subrahmanyam,
Grade 9 has been a very exciting and fast year. Going into the first year of high school I was unsure of what to expect, but I have several goals that I want to complete by the end of the year. Firstly I want to improve my organization skills, this could be by ensuring my notes are tidy and are ready to use when it is time for grade 10 exams. Furthermore, I want to push myself more when playing basketball and softball so I can make both SEASAC teams next year. As of this moment I am interested in several fields including computer science, economics, enterprise, physics, journalism, which are all highly-skilled fields which will take lots of hard work and practice.
After my trip to Sichuan and curious to find improved ways of revising, this made me want to be more active and help more in the community. Ever since then I have been very interested in high altitude hiking and looking for ways which will benefit people. Through my experiences in MUN and sports, I have been able to undertake a leadership role which has made more confident in my skills and open about them.
My first goal was finding a more efficient way to revise. As of this moment I have a fixed schedule when revising for a test which includes several methods combined, I can conclude that I have partially completed this goal. Moving on, I need to work on having an established schedule when revising to complete my goal. My second goal was to find a strong service and I have definetly found this goal. My service Coding for Good not only further refines my programming/problem-solving skills, but allows me to help students and teachers at our school. Now my main goal is to find more time for softball next year, which might mean I have to drop something.
Coming to the end of grade 9 I have had a lot of time to reflect in the past few weeks. During the summer I want to prepare for basketball season, by improving my body and agility. I want to ensure that time will not be an issue next year and I will be able to efficiently balance them to keep my active life going. As of this moment, I feel I am in a good place and can use what I have learned to further build on my goals.
