It's been 1⃣ month since winter break ended, 1⃣ month since school started, 1⃣ month since I joined the Innovation Academy, 1⃣ month since I started my IBG, 1⃣ month since I started writing for the break, and 1⃣ month since my academic life forever changed. Today my first article as an Innovation Academy student was posted on The Break. Wow, I felt important. In grade 8 Humanities we sent out a letter to different governments explaining what type of energy they should use/continue using. When I sent out my letter to the Israeli government I felt disappointed because never did I receive a response. During the beginning of the project I believed that my letter had come out great, using a good structure, and an extended vocabulary-but once I sent out the letter, I didn't feel quite as confident. It was a blue feeling, it was disappointment. I never received a reply, and I felt as if I did not accomplish anything through out the whole project and I was not able to grow as the learner I was planning on becoming. When my article was published on the break, It was a yellow feeling, it was happiness. I had an audience, people were reading my article, and finally I had succeeded. I know it sounds a bit as a fixed mindset, but that is what I need in order to improve, and become better, I have to see my progress and hear what other people think. What made me even happier, was seeing that my article ended up being in the top 5 most popular section. It has been a hard 1⃣ month, a different 1⃣ month, a unique 1⃣ month, but overall I feel that this 1⃣ month has benefitted me. I am trying stuff that is different, stepping out of my comfort zone, and so far this 1⃣ month has been a good one.
