A Story Of Progression

With the current state of the world and the lifestyle we have all felt, I finally have an excuse for that feeling of time passing at strange speeds. On one hand, its ridiculous to think Im headed in to grade 12, my final year at high school, but on the other hand, my god does…

Becoming Daniel 2.0

Without a doubt, this year of PGP has been the best impactful on me, and has genuinely helped shape me in to the person I am right now. When I look back on the Daniel from September, I was so much less in tune with my goals and ambitions, and ever since Atomic Habits has…

1% A Day Keeps The Failure Away

Over the past couple months, I have been more invested in an assignment than ever before. As part of PGP 11, alongside my classmates, I was given the task of reading James Clear’s New York Bestselling book: Atomic Habits. Before I even begin breaking down the book, I want to make it known how very…

Drinking The Kool-Aid

Just over four weeks ago, PLP 11 dove in to the topic of tribalism, and it’s implications on our world today.

The Purpose Of A Story: Reflection

I have recently completed a piece of work that I wouldn’t have expected to be assigned in PLP, though I am happy it was. As you may know, for the past couple months Humanities has been revolving the driving question “How do authors use text to teach us more about ourselves?”. The final assignment of…

Don’t Get Caught: A Trailer

Our first course in Humanities; “Story Of My Life”, had us reading a novel and creating a trailer for that novel. If you keep up with my blog (shout out to you if you do) you would know that my book was Don’t Get Caught by Kurt Dinan. This post will be more about the…

“Just Max”

The overall theme of Don’t Get Caught is one I saw myself being interested in right from the briefing of this project. The fact that it’s about a group of boys and is to do with pranks is enough to get me – a teenage boy – on board. No wonder they say it’s the…
