Core Competence GR10

Social responsibility:

Throughout the year I have demonstrated Social Responsibility in many ways. Whether it be saying hello to someone in the hall or including them in something I’m doing, I always make sure that people are okay. this year I have tried to ensure that people are feeling comfortable and included in class, I feel like its really important to check in on people especially with what is going on in the world right now. This year in Career Education our class took part in YPI, where we researched and talked to people at a charity of our choice to be able to do a presentation in front of senior students, where our group could potentially win $1000 for our charity, Athletics 4 Kids. Thankfully we won the $1000 and were able to donate it to A4K, we are now still working with them because we loved the feeling we got from donating that money and want to continue to do things like this in the future.

Communication:

I have always been told I’m a good listener, I just like to take in information, analyze and then speak. I would consider communication to be one of my strengths, especially with creative writing, I don’t however, like public speaking but I guess I would say I’m pretty good at it. Speaking is an very important aspect of life and without it the world would be a confusing place, thats why this year I’ve been trying to get involved in more projects that will help me improve this skill of mine, YPI definitely helped me with this.
