Not the (Math) Reflection You Had in Mind

 Hello, hello!👋

What's been going on? 

When I started my laptop today I wanted to write a post on my last read math book, but, I realized that I just have so much to say on another topic. I think is time to reflect on my last last two months as an official adult learner. 

I finished my English Studies 12 with excellent mark, and learned new English math terminology, while refreshing up my math skills with Pre-Calculus 12 (online Adult Education Course forever thankful to VSB on them).

  • I learned that plagiarism is treatable hahah at least, and how should I cite sources. You know I was doing that before, but know I'm 100% motivated to cite alwaaaays!

  • I learned so much on the topic of Indigenous people in Canada and generally in North America. Now I even have a favorite Indigenous designer. It's Jamie Okuma, oh my Goodness those booth of hers!  👢👢 You need to google her right away! In this moment! Ok, ok, just if you want, I'm not gonna be too pushy 😀

  • Also, I realized is that I need to work on my grammar. I went through my old posts, and I was able to recognize my mistakes, and if that's not a progress I don't know what is! 😀 But you know what? I'm not gonna correct them now. Nope! They are part of my path. I want them to be there, so I can go through them if sometimes I forget how far did I get up, and encourage myself to continue even further. Moreover, I think that opinion is popular nowadays; to embrace your mistakes and learn from them. There is no success without mistakes (oh, should I cite this, is this a quote hah) So, yes, I think you got the point, no deleting old stuff full with errors, no matter how silly and illogical that sounds  😀

  • Anyways, let's continue. I was surprised to see how many adult learners wish to enhance themselves and there knowledge. On the other hand, I'm one of them, so why was I surprised? Maybe I thought that I'm the smartest person on Earth, and that no one else would figure out that could enroll in adult education course and level up themselves.

  • Talking about the people I met there, I can say that I'm proud that I was part of that group of people and their discussions. Was that the Discord thing that allowed us to continue our discussion and support each other in the questions about the course? I guess so.

  • Nevertheless, I have to mention that I'm not sure would I have taken these courses, and accomplished these result if the classes were not online. My time was literally saved. Two hours per day! That doesn't sound bad! I used that two extra hours in effective learning and investing more time in detailed research for my homework. 

To sum up, if you have a chance to take online course take it; if you have a chance to take formal adult education course take it, and finally, if you know someone how you think will benefit from some course, encourage them to take it!

You know, no matter, what I do or read, I always end up with the same conclusion: Educate yourself!

Now, as a last note from this blog, I would like to ask you to search up, or to think about which poem from Indigenous writer Thomas King this title reminds you of? (I told you I made a progress in First People's literature didn't I 😎 )


Bye, bye, see you soon

A Talk with Marine Biologist

Hello! In this blog post, I'm going to discuss a Zoom call I had with Bart , my colleague from the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program . Yes, he's the marine biologist from the title! 😄 Our call was initiated by one of the assignments for our course, Foundations of Adult Learning. The assignment required us to discuss and cover two main questions: What are some trends in your field? What are some trends in adult education? We had two calls; the first one was just to get to know each other and share our career and life journeys, while the second was specifically for the assignment's discussion. Firstly, I'd like to express how happy I am to have had the chance to meet Bart. I feel very lucky to have been assigned a learning partner like him. In my opinion, Bart is a very well-spoken, educated, organized, and responsible person. There were no delays or misunderstandings in our communication regarding the assignments. Now, that either means we both understood the assign...

I'm Trying to Love Math - book review

   In this vlog we gonna talk about (ok, I'm gonna talk about 😀) about the book:  I'm trying to Love Math, by  Bethany Barton. The book was released in 2019, by the publisher Viking.  If your kid or student is mostly yawning during the class or time dedicated to the math lessons this book is certainly for them.  Actually I have already recommended this book to a parent, so they can headed out to his child. I'm eager to see the results, hopefully will be any😀 Firstly, the cover of the book and the illustrations are so catchy. The letters are oversized and dynamic, they just scream "Read me!" The illustrations totally coincide with the content. And now the content. Page after page, the book tells us how to not let down the math.  The narrator is math-phobic, and  narrator tells what's on his mind. But each of his thoughts goes bounced back by the three-eyed purple ET. I'm not gonna be spoiling anything, but you will find out from which planet the ...

My May's List of Read Books- Just One!!

I need more time to read!!! I really do! As current student (yeah teachers can be students as well) at the Vancouver School Board, Adult Education, taking the English Studies 12, I have almost no time for literature and focus that can be placed at additional reading. Howeveeeer, I have put a lot of effort in managing my time; being student, being a math tutor, being wife and support to my husband, and being aunt (daily checking up my baby nephew).  But, (and yes, my English teacher said that we are not supposed to start our sentences with "but", but there are some tendencies in moving from that point, so I'm just gonna slide toward these tendencies haha by starting my sentences with "but", "so", and "and"), where was I... oh yes, so, here I am, proud to announce that I read a book, and even more, I'm gonna write a vlog stating my opinion on it! Ha! So, let's see. 😀 What's the point of Math?   This cute math's book's autho...
