How the rich get rich
I. Along with my group, Hyperion, I was asked to create a Think Tank on a contemporary topic and the issues surrounding it. My group and I chose to research about how the wealthy become rich and the subsequent effects of how these people influence the world of today and the future. Instructions included creating both a video and a prezi for a presentation to the class.
II. This assignment was significant in testing my group's ability to synthesize research and presenting it in a structured, informative, and concise way to our audience. It also gave us the chance to really present our topic of interest to our fellow classmates.
III. I very much liked that we were able to do something that truly interested my group, and in that sense, it made this project more enjoyable and fun. The freedom to really explore what one wants brings out the best from that person.

The Bullying project
I. This was the second Think Tank project that my group Hyperion did. The Bullying Project was created as an anti-bullying project that would be presented to the underclassmen of Mark Keppel High School. We were to research about all facets of bullying from its origins to causes to solutions. Instructions included creating a video, prezi, and interactive activity for the audience to engage in.
II. This assignment was significant because bullying is significant. Although not very prominent at Mark Keppel, it is still present nonetheless. Informing the underclassmen about bullying most certainly is useful and could help make Mark Keppel a safer and overall better environment for all students.
III. This assignment was so shocking for my group because our group leader, Daniel Do, became extremely dedicated and passionate to the project. As a result, we really tried to present the best possible think tank we could and tried to influence as many underclassmen as we could. His charisma and enthusiasm towards the project is a testament to the ability to create the best one can when intrinsically motivated.
