Perseverance
I’m still here aren’t I?
I take on each obstacle one at a time. If something isn’t solvable, I have to figure out a way to do it differently. I need ½ a science credit to graduate, and AP chem was destroying me, so I dropped the class and started working on a Pilot science study.
Inquiry
My whole beginning process revolves around inquiry, I research what I am interested and find rabbit holes to dive into to gather niche information. Curiosity leads to good sources and greater understanding.
My whole process right now is based on inquiry, researching whatever I am curious about in the moment, and then using that research in relation to everything else that I am working on.
Time Management
I could have done better at managing my time this semester. I am satisfied with the work that I did do, but I had set my sights to have done more. In part this shortcoming in due to my illness, but I can only blame so much on it.
I worry that I will have this issue at college: I do the work I want, when I want. I am somewhat removed from having deep discipline in my work habits right now. But maybe it is just me learning to work in a new way, organically, from the inside out.
Accountability
I have not missed a single meeting, and did everything that people asked of me in the Pilot. I am reliable, but at the same time I am actively working to not be overwhelmed, so I am not afraid to say no to opportunities that I cannot handle.
This is still true, I work well within structure that I have explicitly agreed to, meeting, schedules, and eth like that I have created through the Pilot.
I wish I was better at responding to calls and emails, but I get carried away with whatever is in front of me, instead of the communication that is happening in the background. As soon as I can commit fully to a task it will be completed, but I can’t just work on it a little bit at a time.
Demonstration
My learning has been primarily demonstrated this quarter through writing on my blog and elsewhere. I have not produced much materiel, but my documented thinking and speaking shows that I have been growing as a learner.
This is still very much where I am at. I do have a few documents that prove work and learning completed, but I am nowhere near finished with many of the final products of my bigger works. This, of course, is fine, I was never planning to have them done by now.
I believe the biggest indicator of my learning is my writing and speaking on the topics that I am studying. If I hadn’t been thinking deeply about them, and exploring them in my research I wouldn’t have anything to say, and yet here I am, saying all kinds of stuff.
Self Advocacy
I have worked hard this year to not be overwhelmed, and for the most part it has been successful. I am very aware of how many things I have wavelength for, and regulate what I use that wavelength for.
I advocate for myself hardcore. When I need something I ask for it, and it no one can help me with it, then either I don’t actually need it, or I’ll find a way to get it myself.
This year my self awareness has been better than ever before. I’m tuned into my body and my moods, and I work very hard to keep myself healthy, in every sense of the word.

Perseverance
Chemistry is my example of perseverance this quarter. I tried to make it work but it just didn’t, I was failing, and was stressed about it, and it just wasn’t working out. So instead of actually failing the class I dropped it and am currently working to come up with a better way to fulfill my ½ science credit.
Inquiry
My whole beginning process revolves around inquiry, I research what I am interested and find rabbit holes to dive into to gather niche information. Curiosity leads to good sources and greater understanding.
Time Management
This quarter I have trusted myself to do the right amount of work and I have been successful in that. However there are still things I wish I had made time for. I would have liked to do more with Dubliners and have done more organised responses to artworks. Now that I am adding science to my Pilot workload I will probably need to be carving out intentional time for that. As the year moves forward I will start to impose deadlines so that I can get predetermined amounts of work done, but this quarter was not one for that.
