List and describe in detail three pieces of advice that you might offer to students of your former middle school who are entering Heritage next year? (Include images to assist you in explaining your points.
My first two months at Heritage have been very interesting and different from what I thought high school was going to be like. My expectations for high school were never really that high to me it’s just school but so far, I’d say Heritage is a great school. I would tell other students that they better be ready for high school because it’s much more difficult than high school and to constantly be on top of the ball when it comes to handing in assignments. Also, to remember you’ll be uncomfortable at first because being the youngest in the school again and at the bottom of the grades around all these bigger kids can be intimidating so be prepared.
- Describe your ideal school in a post – what would you change from what you have experienced to date at Heritage Woods? What would the building look like, the courses offered and the style of learning – do you like the present style or would you like more choice? Include images to help you explain your points.
Personally, I’m not a fan of how Heritage Woods Secondary is made of all stone and its grey it seems very cold and isolated. The school itself is great, the kids and teachers are really kind but, on thing I’m not a fan of is the way a lot of the teachers teach. To me it seems very basic and boring it doesn’t attract my attention much therefore not paying as much attention.
- Research a career that you are interested in pursuing in the future. Why are you passionate about this career and what does the work entail? What qualifications and/or education will you need to pursue this career? Include images to help you explain your points.
One career that I’ve been thinking a little bit about would be becoming an actor, I know it’s a very difficult job to even begin with or get anywhere with but, I’ve been doing background work for a few years and I’ve been in a few TV series here and there. I know I’d need to go to acting school, get more practice, and then try and become known but for now it’s just a thought.
