6 Words, 1 Life - Aleenah

 A New Quote

After  how tough and really boring lockdown has been, a new, but quite fun task has been assigned to the class of room 8. We were to create a quote of 6 words that relates to our lives. Could be the ongoing events, our relationships/friendships or just our lives in general. I chose to create a quote that talks about the light in our worlds and how it affects us. I find that the image I chose really matched my saying so here it is!

Maybe you can find out why I made that image that relates to the quote

A Dream For The Future - Aleenah

A Dream For The Future

At every stage of everyone’s lives, they create dreams and goals set for their future selves. In mine, the mature version of myself is creating universal theories and proving them at the same time, opening the mindsets and the bigger future among the cosmos as an astrophysicist.

Looking from every perspective, an astrophysicist imagines everything and sometimes doesn’t at all believe in the impossibility of anything. Of course, they can’t just roam around preaching their visions without supporting them with facts first. A true way astrophysicists create a knowledgeable mind is from the years of patience in training as a student. The years in a classroom working towards earning several qualifications from a bachelor’s degree in astrophysics, getting a master’s degree and a PhD. Well, it will be a straight struggle of an experience. Not to be too pessimistic about it though, a recurring and reassuring thought is that an astrophysicist is able to gain the passion for a project and immediately get intrigued. It is not only what makes it fun, but what makes them a true scientist at heart.

There are various traits that you would need in pursuing this career and not only that, the educational factors too. As my current youthful and inexperienced self, I am not truly convinced that everything will go well but I’m most definitely sure that I will persevere through many hardships in this rocky road ahead. I am certain because I am just too excited and thrilled at the prospect of debating on various events and information on the universe. Not only should I be able to conquer, I should be able to achieve the educational side of achievements. Though it may cost a lot of money, I am perfectly capable of being financially responsible thanks to several online programs I’ve been participating in during my senior years. A comforting fact is I can handle myself really well, patience has grown in me through life. To sum it all up, I can persevere through hardships and be mindfully taught easily and learn easily too but I can be passionate about a job - especially if I would be a scientist.

I still have a lot to grow, learn and experience but with the traits I’ve been gifted, I have been given the possibility to maybe live the reality of a person from my dreams.

Comparing & Contrasting The Ancient & Current Olympics - Aleenah

An Ancient Inspiration

Centuries ago, during the era of Greek Gods, the first Olympics was held to unite the cities of Greece and escape wars. I have learned that the Olympics back then had similarities from our current Olympic games and I have made Venn Diagrams in slides 3 & 4. In the presentation below, I answer questions and compare the Olympics of then and now. A creative task was to draw an Olympian God who was one of the inspirations for the games held in the dated Olympics. I drew Apollo on google drawing.
