Frontiers

 Hello and welcome to my final action project for my STEAM class Frontiers. In this action project, we were asked to create a conference poster based on research that we did for the Space Grand Challenges. I decided that I was most interested in Grand Challenge 4: Protection of Humans. This Grand Challenge focuses on space medicine and how to give humans the best quality of life while traveling space.

In conclusion, I've really enjoyed all of my STEAM courses and action projects at GCE. It feels bittersweet that this is my final project and my final day of classes. I am excited to move on from high school but I am very proud of all the work that I've made on this blog. Thank you for following my high school journey.

How Fostering a Kitten Changed My Life

 Hello and welcome to a very unique blog post! Last month, I fostered a 6-year-old cat named Graham from Paws Chicago Medical Center. 

 

Fostering Graham has been such a fun and educational experience. I already had a cat and dog at home when we got Graham so I was nervous about how he would interact with them. It took a bit of time but eventually Graham and my dog, Liza, became very good friends.

They will lay by each other and play together. Graham has made Liza even happier than she always is because she finally has someone who is as wild as her to play with. The hardest part of this process is introducing Graham and Link, my other cat.

Link has had some issues in the past with other cats which makes it hard for him to trust Graham. Recently, they have been sitting on either side of the doors that separate them and smelling each other.

I have been researching the best ways to integrate their lives and I have learned that the key is patience. 

Graham is an extremely sweet cat, and I couldn’t imagine my life without him which is why I decided to adopt him. 

This experience has taught me that I have a real passion for caring for animals and making sure that they have proper homes. This has lead me to make a goal for myself of volunteering at animal sanctuaries every summer.

Tym's Survival Guide

 

Hello and welcome to my final humanities action project at GCE Lab School. With graduation on the horizon, it feels bittersweet to be writing my final humanities blog post. This has been one of my favorite action projects of all time. At first, it felt daunting because I found it a bit difficult to put my goals and milestones into words. Once I began writing, however, the words just seemed to flow and I was finished in no time. For this action project, we were asked to write a guide to our life mission. My mission is to become a successful actress. 

The purpose of this manual is to be able to stay grounded with my goals. I know that it is very easy for me to get caught up in the day to day and I often forget the bigger picture. Looking back at my survival guide will keep me focused.
