Silent Short Film Sisterly Love

Brief Introduction

This is a silent short film that I created in English class. I worked with some other people to make this video.  We worked really hard to create something we would all be proud of. We tried to make a video that represented an emotion. To assure that our emotion was conveyed to the best of our ability, our film is rather dramatic. The film is titled Sisterly Love. I hope you enjoy it !

Our “Stuff” and the Spheres

A Brief Introduction

This is my final grade nine Science project. This project is about an object I use daily, a basketball. The project talks about the impact the creation of the materials to create the basketball, transportation, production and selling, and disposal of the basketball has on the environment. There is one other thing. Ms. Jackson says that the glass is always half full, so you will also find some solutions and ways to regulate the carbon footprint of the basketball. Click the link below and see the crazy impact basketballs have on the Biosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere and Atmosphere.

Is this job for me?

This job isn’t for me because of many reasons. I feel like this job would be too stressful for me and I am not interested in this domain. My interests are more along the lines of programming and not project management. I want to be more involved rather than simply managing.

The Value of This Experience

To be frank, this experience was not what I thought it would be. I got the opportunity to see what many different careers do. Some other grades nines and myself were lead around the office for a while and spent time in many different teams in the office. I found out a lot more than I thought I would. I met friendly people who were open-minded and would ask you the questions. Their questions would lead to all sorts of amazing ideas. To end off this day, I learned a little more about how to write a resume, a skill that will surly impact my future. The way they taught us to write it seemed like putting your personally on paper.

After this experience, I’m more sure of what I want to do. I met with quite a few people who worked in programming and got to ask them questions about their experience first hand. This has greatly affected what I will do in the future. I now realize that programming is something I want to look into. It’s strange that the career I took away the most from and the one I wrote this about were different, but that’s just what happened. While I was there, I mentioned that I wanted to go to school in Quebec and someone told me about this would be a great idea and give me more edge when I get into the programming career.
