Successful HOHAM – Unlimited Potential
A student who uses unlimited potential is one "who is a perpetual learner, purpose driven, demands rigor, dedicated and determined, motivated, [and] is open to possibilities."
Math
I was able to demonstrate the concept of unlimited potential in Math in many different ways; the most common one being the investigation of other ways to solve problems. This could be applied to our daily warm-ups, which we worked on at the beginning of each period in Math. However, for the most significant example, I was able to push myself in "The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year Set Design" project, and explore multiple line forms on Desmos. |

Writing Seminar
I was able to display unlimited potential in Writing Seminar through the script writing I did in "The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year" project, specifically in the performance portion. As both a writer for my own play, "Reader's Delight", and an editor for my class's Exhibition play, "The Smiler", I was able to examine the plot and details of both scripts and determine if there was anything I could add. |

Physics
I used the HOHAM unlimited potential throughout the "15 Day Challenge" for Physics, when we had to analyze our impact on the world and our habits regarding disposal methods, (trash and recycling). With a goal to update a blog every day during a period of time, I was able to stick to schedule and question my habits under a microscope. This correlates to unlimited potential because I was able to reflect on my actions without criticism, and really challenge myself to follow the plan I had set for myself at the beginning of the project, which was to limit the waste that I throw into the landfills. |

Humanities
I demonstrated unlimited potential in Humanities over the course of our literary unit, Lord of the Flies by William Golding. We often had class discussions about the symbols that were represented in the text, and I would take a look at the plot with an open mind; really wanting to know how it went down. |
