Inquiry Question

I read the novel, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. The main themes of this novel are identity, censorship, surveillance and the power and control that certain people have over them. The themes of power, control and identity lead me to my inquiry question which is, "How do sports teams manage to keep their fans loyal throughout on season and off season?" I decided to ask a question related to sports because that is one of my favourite hobbies to do and I wanted to find out more information about sports teams. The amount of dedication that you would put into your team of your favourite sport depends on a lot of different variables. The amount of time you have, the tradition that runs in your family, just for your entertainment or even how well your team is doing are all factors of your favourite team and how much time you put into your team. This inquiry question that I came up with gave me a lot of insight on how some professional teams have a bigger fan base throughout the whole season rather than other teams who have a much smaller fan base during certain periods of the season.

Personality Profile

Visual Quiz:  https://personality.visualdna.com/?c=us#quiz
 For the results of my visual quiz I got that I am a seeker. A type of person that would rather choose good over a riot and doesn't want to make things difficult. I always like to try new things and am not afraid to try new things. It also says that I am a dreamer and zone out a lot to think about things. I think some of this is true but not all of it.

For the results of the multiple intellegence quiz I ranked a 5 for body movement as that being my biggest strength while the other 3 that all got the same score were about my self, being involved with nature and my social aspect of life. I think that these results are all very accurate because I am a very active person involved with many sports, as well as being social with my various sports teams. Theses are my key strengths in life that will help me later in life.
Jung & Meyers Personality Quiz: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
For the third and final personality quiz, my results were being an extrovert by 44%, being intuitive as well as feeling with 38% and finally judging with 22%. I think being an extrovert is completely right for me because I am very outgoing and not very shy. I can be shy at times if I don't know the people but other times I can be very loud. For many academics, the work and studying comes easy to me but for others I have to work quite hard. My feelings and the judging percentage I received was semi-correct I think but overall I feel that the results of each quiz were all mainly correct with my personality.

Getting to Know You Sample Essay

       Going into kindergarten that day I felt so confident and excited to pursue my first day of elementary school, especially with Fraser, my next door neighbour and fellow preschool graduate. Ever since I could remember, I had the biggest crush on him. The teachers divided the classes up and he wasn't in my class. I knew nobody snd I wanted to go home. It was definitely a very upsetting day. I remember the next couple of days I cried and cried while my dad tried to drop me off at school every morning. This went on for a good week. After 20 minutes each day, he finally got me to calm down and I eventually made new friends, but still always had the biggest crush on Fraser.
      Who I am today is someone I am very proud of and how far I came since grade 8. I have a job at Boston Pizza and being outgoing is one my best qualities while working there. My friend group has changed immensely since the beginning of high school and I have become very close with people I would not have imagined. Thinking about graduating high school this year is extremely scary as I will be going out into the real world after this and hopefully having my life figured out. Hardworking snd independant are also two great traits of mind that I use almost everyday.
   
  Fifteen years later, the day has finally come where I am living a happy life with my husband and three kids. After graduating the program, I became a physiotherapist from many years of hard work and struggle. My husband has a great job as well working as a fireman. It scares me sometimes, but he does save many lives and I am very proud of him. I like to think that I am s great mom even though we all make mistakes sometimes, but I do love my children with all my heart. I am very content with my life and want nothing to change.

About Me

Hey there, I am a grade 12 English student in Canada and this year I will be graduating High School and going onto University. I have a love for all sports and I play basketball, volleyball and soccer with the school teams but only soccer outside of school. My favourite quote is "you miss 100% of the shots you dont take" because this relates to me within the sports that I play. I really dont like snakes and spiders as well as onions. I do love pizza, sports and all kinds of food. I am more of an problem solving and mathetmatics type person rather than an english person, so I really have to work hard in English 12 in order to keep my grade up. My three learning goals in English 12 this year are 1) become a better writer in my writing pieces while improving my range of vocabulary, 2) Understand the Shakesperian language more easily and 3) Show my learning through other visual aspects rather than just writing.
