Introduction From doing practice partner interviews, I learned that my strengths include being very friendly and appreciative, good listening, and connecting to answers, while my stretches are to move a bit quicker, connect questions more/give questions a bit more flow, and to be more in-depth with each question topic. This information is great and insightful because I could not have come up with it on my own, as it is…
Reading my group’s eminent person introductory blog posts turned out to be a very enjoyable and educational activity! I think this was a nice ‘assignment’ because often we post to our blogs, but nobody really reads the posts other than the occasionally curious and the teacher. Therefore, it is nice to know my blog post will have an audience, and it is nice to explore others’ blogs. Additionally, I am…
“Thailand was built on compassion.” Bhumibol Adulyadej (Adulyadej, n.d.) To have my chosen person be the former king of Thailand may seem very random at first. However, I personally experienced this king’s reign when my family and I visited Thailand during our travels. We stayed there for months and made great Thai friends. I distinctly recall the compassion and kind nature of all Thai people, including our friends; I believe…
My thoughts on whether I prefer hybrid learning or in-class learning are that I think it depends on what subject it is. If it is a subject that is more suited to be learnt along with other people, I prefer at school for all classes. For example, I took Mandarin this year. Learning a language is probably best done with other people to practice the language with, rather than alone.…

You may use your mouse to scroll in and out, or click the arrows at the bottom of the screen to be led through my presentation. Either way, please check out however much you…
Progress Report: Hello! It has been four weeks since I last posted here, so that means I shall give you a summary of my learning these past four weeks. First, I wove a basket. Surprise! The process of weaving it is a bit of a story. In the beginning, I had been meaning to make a wastebasket out of it, but then it got too wide, so I decided to…
Progress Report Here is my progress regarding my In-Depth skill, from this past fortnight: I solely continued weaving the cedar basket that I had started (a few weeks back) with my mentor. If I am really going to be honest, I will have to say that I was not super productive this past two weeks. However, I am planning to finish this cedar-guy tomorrow or over the weekend, and then,…
Progress Report I made a woven dish for some scent cubes to put in our bathroom… It was quite a pleasure to make. I used less cane than I thought I would. The only part that did not go so well was the rim/finishing. The stakes were not long enough so I could not finish the rim without a bunch of them sticking out everywhere. So, I had to weave…
Dear Reader, Today marks the 3rd post of my In-Depth Project. Progress Report To report on my progress, I engaged in the following: I finished a woven breakfast tray This breakfast tray took me probably around 5 hours to weave…because it was my first time. I would say that it looks okay for a first. However, I didn’t really start with all the materials, I substituted a thinner cane for…
Dear Reader, First things first, I have to say, straight out, that–I’m not lying–I am literally EXPLODING with passion with what I am/can do with this project, right now!!! Alright, now that that’s out of the way, let me update you on the last two weeks of my In-Depth Project!! First up, I have not been able to have a meeting with my mentor yet–but hang in there–our first meeting…
