Hi there! My name is Isabella, and this is my second year of attending IDS – Social Responsibility. I feel excited to be back on this course and explore the many different categories of IDS. I am 15 years old and am currently in grade 10 at École Dr Charles Best Secondary School. I live in Coquitlam, British Columbia, and my favourite subjects right now are Science and English, though they may change throughout this school year.
I was first drawn to attending IDS – Social Responsibility during my Grade 8 visit to Charles Best. The different categories, activities, and the opportunity to help support education in Kenya immediately caught my attention. I wanted to be part of a course that would both help me learn and make a difference to the world.
One of my passions is giving back to the community. I enjoy tutoring children in English and Math, as well as volunteering at places like care homes and animal shelters. For me, “community” isn’t all just about a group of people but is a place to build relationships with others. It’s more of a feeling and a place that you should feel a sense of belonging in. I feel that my place in the community is to help others and give back to the community.
Currently, I am most interested in the inquiry project category of IDS. This is because I want to research the question: “How does the changing season from summer to fall and winter affect our mood, what we eat, and what we do?” I chose this question because I am curious about the connection between the human brain and the different types of weather. I also believe that researching questions that interest me is something I find engaging and fun to do.
Thank you for reading! 🙂
Dear Isabella its really interesting, encouraging and also motivating to learn facts about you. I`m really interested in your inquiry question basically because i really enjoy learning about the nature. Looking forward to follow through you research. Good luck in your research, thank you.
Hi Maurice!
Thank you for your kind words and for leaving a comment on my “All About Me” post! I am glad that you are also interested in nature, and I will try my best to find more information on how the weather can affect people. Thank you for your encouragement towards my inquiry posts! 🙂
Hi Isabella! I really enjoyed your post. I love how passionate you are about giving back and building community — it really shows in your volunteering . Your inquiry question about how seasons affect mood and behavior sounds super interesting, and I can’t wait to see what you discover. Keep up the great work your doing.
Hi Stephen!
