Topic Choice: Karate

Blog 2

a. My topic is karate because it has basically created me as a person. It's one of the most influential aspects as to why I have my outgoing attitude, as well as why I am very confident in myself. Karate has also sculpted me physically which obviously offers its benefits. These reasons made me want to do karate as a senior topic to show my way of paying tribute.
b. iPoly Citizen: I plan to reinforce traits of a spectacular iPoly citizen such as teamwork, and helping others. In life you will be forced to work with a variety of people, whether it be in a college class, or at a work setting, and karate will only teach me the deeper parts of teamwork and working with others.
    Effective Communicator: I plan to be doing more involving karate that also means more teaching it, and what a better way to communicate, than to teach. (communicate to the student) Not only does it communicate, but you have to communicate very effectively if you want what you are teaching to stick.
    Effective Learner: Another reason karate helps boost what I accomplish is that I can also learn. In karate, there is always more to learn, meaning you can never truly stop, there is constant progress and growth, which  helps at iPoly and in life as a whole.
    Effective User of Technology: Although this one is difficult to incorporate into my topic, I plan to use technology to do extensive research therefore making me an "Effective User of Technology" as well as making me better at finding facts about something.
