Who Am I? (Student Profile)

Things I Like

I love animals. These are my two dogs Cleo and Norman. My parents and I also donate to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust because we love elephants. Here's a video called Kiombo's Rescue that shows what the organization does:

Ikigai

One project we are working on in my art class is to create an Ikigai. Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." The word "ikigai" is usually used to indicate the source of value in one's life or the things that make one's life worthwhile. Instead of using mostly words for our Ikigai, we were able to use images in some way. Before creating our ikigai, we watched this video:

Here's my Ikigai:

Strengths and Weaknesses

I took the High 5 test to discover my strengths and talents. The test highlighted these strengths:

• Catalyst: enjoy getting things started and creating momentum in a stagnant environment. Catalysts cannot stand waiting and wasting time when they could be getting things off the ground.
• Commander: Commanders love to be in charge, to speak up, and to be asked for a direct opinion. They do not avoid conflicts and cannot understand ‘beating around the bush’ mentality.
• Storyteller: Storytellers are masters of communication. They like to host, speak in public and to be listened to. They drain in situations that do not allow expressing themselves through words.
• Brainstormer: Brainstormers are excited when asked to come up with new no-limits ideas and to connect seemingly unconnectable. Brainstormers get quickly bored by standard practices or closed minded people.

These are my grades from last semester. I love reading and writing, but have a hard time with math.
