Driving question 🏎️ 🏆 

How do we become the best versions of ourselves?

To answer this question we went to Alberta, we went there to hike make memories and get life advice. Now you might be thinking if you aren’t familiar with PLP did you just go on a vacation with your class? The answer is nope! We went to Alberta to get life advice from strangers. We had to film them and put all of the videos into one big video. 

Hiking  🥾 🏔️ 

We did many hikes this trip and I dont regret any of them! At the beginning of the trip everyone was dreading the 16.2k hike. But we took one step at a time. The first hike we went on was to the ink pots. That was a beautiful result, it was to amazing and I was so glad i got the chance to go on that trip. Another hike we went on a hike to the top of a mountain and it took about 3 hours, and we thought that was long? Well we were in for a real treat. When we where about half way I was with a couple friends and a little bird was chirping so we diced to take a little break and watch them and then one if the birds landed on my head! That was reall7y funny band i got more energy from that so I ncould keep hiking. When we made it to the top we saw another animal and that was a baby big horned sheep. Inside the building at the top we watched a movie and I with I could have taken a video of life advice because that would have been a great idea. The other hikes were also beautiful but the longest hike(16.2k) was the best! The location was lake Louise. It was the most amazing lake i have ever seen. We started going on a trail to another lake then we went up a really icy snowie slouch mix trail. We made it to the first tea hut, we kept kicking and we made it to a look out spot. We kept kinking and finally we made it our destination the tea house that wasn’t well known. There wher three other people (one group). I had hot chocolate. When we made it down we where so tired.

Other activities 🚤 🕳️ 

We did other things as well other then hiking and talking to strangers. We went to the only place on earth that is home to the little snails that are left of that species. The hot springs. We saw a hole in the ground and under that hole was a pool that looked so pretty but the bad thing was it smelt. It’s smelted like rotten eggs. It was so gross I could barely stand in the cave. But after we went in the hot spring. It was so nice it was naturaly heated and it was 40 degrees Celsius! It was almost too hot. The lifeguard said that everyone in the hot springs had to take little breaks to sit out or have a cold shower. Because at least one person everyday passes out because of the heat. One if the other really fun things was going to the glacier. We where on one glacier part of the Alaska ice feilds. After we went on the glacier the tour guid said the glacier will last about 60 years before the glacier is completely gone. Later on our trip we went on a boat on minawanka lake. We learnt many facts like one pack of wolfs live on one side and there is no wolfs on the other! 

Banner in the sky 🪁

In humanities we did a project called banner in the sky. It was a book that we had to read, the main character was named Rudi. Rudi was a blond boy that was skinny and kind. He was poor and he only had his mom and uncle. Rudi wants to clime a mountain called the Citadel. But his mom and uncle wondnt let him go because that’s where his father died. After the book we got a person to do a character sckech.

Viral video!

Another video we had to make was our “Viral Video” we had to find a trend and make a video using that trend about our trip to Alberta. The trend I used was basically you lead to one side of the screen and you “fall”. I did this in many different places and they where all beautiful! I really enjoyed making this video.

Silent film 🎞️ 🎥 

The first stop in Alberta was called the three valley gap. It was kinda odd but if was cool. Nest to the hotel there was a ghost town! It was so cool the bell family moved everything the got there and made it look so real!

Conclusion

To wrap up this blog post, it’s clear that life advice holds significant potential to impact us in meaningful ways. As we’ve explored the driving question how do we become the best version of ourselves? By understanding the question more we can accomplish anything that can make us at our peak potential.
