Getting to Know You

          The very first day of my grade 7 year was quite fascinating as it was my graduating year from elementary school. I had always waited for this particular year to come around. However, high school right around the corner was also a little nerve-racking. As the summer break came to its end I hoped to make this year a memorable one with many moments to remember. In addition, I was a little shy at first but as the school year progressed I transformed myself into a person who was very easy to get along with. During this year, I wasn’t focused in my academics as much as I was more focused on enjoying my last year in elementary by joining various school teams as that was part of what I had planned to do this year.
          
          I have changed over the course of years in comparison to who I was in grade 7. Now that I have a very complex personality, I am compiled of the following traits: hardworking, knowledgeable, cooperative, honest, motivated, committed and a team player. Furthermore, my likes and dislikes also set me apart from others. I personally love technology as its one of my major interests. I have a passion for playing and watching a variety of sports as I am very athletic. Some of my dislikes include things like dancing, rollercoaster rides and drawing since I don’t consider myself artistic. Additionally, my main target at this time is to look forward to graduate and attend university with exceptional grades.

          Now that I have given a little taste of who I was in grade 7 and who I am today, I will now discuss who I will be at the end of the school year. As this last year of my journey here at Sullivan Heights came to an end, I became a high school graduate. Moreover, I hope to have accomplished to be accepted to UBC. Having accomplished that milestone, I will be getting ready and looking forward to attend post-secondary and pursue a career in engineering. In addition, my biggest goal would be to achieve a prestigious bachelor’s degree in Applied Sciences. I plan to make this happen by being committed, motivated, hardworking and reliable. In the future, I want to become a trustworthy, sophisticated and a successful individual. 

About Me

My name is Devansh Chopra and this blog is for my English 12 class as I will be using this very frequently. Its a great way to make my learning visible and it shows a record or artifact of my learning journey as I move through English. First off, in this post I will highlight some things about me. I have a family of 4 which consists of my dad, my mom, my sister and myself. All of these particular individuals mean a lot to me. They have been through all the ups and downs with me. Moreover, my hobbies/interests include watching and playing a variety of sports. They serve as a recreation where I am able to rejuvenate my mind. I also have a passion for the latest technology as I am always fascinated about new products in the market. In addition, my target in the future is to graduate either from SFU or UBC and become a successful mechanical engineer. Now that I have highlighted some things about me, I will now outline three learning goals that I have for English 12.

1. Improving my vocabulary by reading lots of new sophisticated vocabulary
2. Improving my essay writing through lots of practice and receiving feedback
3. Improving my literary analysis by practicing and extending my thinking by thinking outside the box
