Year 8 has been full of ups and downs but overall, I have really enjoyed it and have learned so much about myself and experienced new things. My most enjoyable experience was at camp which I really enjoyed. I learned so much about my self and other members of my house and really bonded with my head of house and my peers.
I was pushed to my limits and felt out of my comfort zone, proving to myself that I could do things that I didn’t originally think I could do like the high ropes. I learned so much about my self as a person as well as about my surroundings.
What I learned about myself this year was that I can do anything that I put my mind to. I can make a difference in our world I learned this during my campaign about dyslexia that I could make a change and change laws if I worked hard and put my mind to it.
My biggest contribution to the school would be dance as I’m in all the dance concerts and I am always doing dance as it is my passion. I take it upon myself when I get someone in my group that isn’t the best at dance to help them and teach them.
If I could change anything about this year it would be to not worry as much, to still try hard and work hard but not worry about everything, just enjoy it and be in the moment. My best learning experience of this year would be my Shakespeare assignment.
It was difficult at first as my dyslexia makes it hard for me to read but I persevered and learned the lines I needed to and what it was all about. It really taught me persistence and I learned a lot about working in groups and how to work effectively in them. Overall I have really enjoyed this year and all the experiences I have had.
