Academics - AP Physics C
I decided to take the AP Physics C course in Grade 12, which
has definitely been one of the most difficult courses I have taken in my high
school career. It combines calculus and physics concepts – which led to
Service - Human Services
After taking Pre-AP and AP Art History, I asked Ms Walsh to
be her Human Services student and sit in on the Art History classes this year. I helped out in lesson preparation
and attending lunchtime sessions, answering questions from students
Athletics - Soccer
I played on the soccer team this year. It was a very
rewarding experience, as I was able to form some bonds with my teammates. We
went to the island for ISA’s, where we had some great games and had a lot of
fun. In our North Shore League, we finished 3rd, we were just a couple
points off 1st place. We eventually lost in the playoffs, but we
exceeded expectations, and definitely put in our best effort.
Encounter XXI
Encounter XXI is one of the most prominent highlights of my
high school career. I took a lot from it that I will remember for a long time.
Robotics
Once again, I was a part of the robotics team. However, this
year in robotics was very different because of my role within it. It was run
this year as a class, with more of an organized structure. I was the leader of
one of the teams, so I had a very different role – I had to be more organized
and had to give out instructions to my team members. Responsibility and
accountability, especially to deadlines, was something I had to learn.
U of T
After all the stress of university applications, I was
accepted to University of Toronto, where I will be attending next year,
studying Physics.
House trivia
As part of the house competitions, I
represented Geer in House Trivia. We played round robin games, and managed to
beat most of the other houses, advancing us to the finals. Although it wasn’t
our day in the finals, we were happy with our second place finish, and with the
fact that we could help our house in the standings.
