Throughout most of my freshman year at New Tech, I have been trying to get a grasp of what agency actually is and how it can affect and benefit my education. If someone were to ask me what agency is at the beginning of the year I would tell them it had something to do with keeping yourself on track. When someone asks me what agency is today, I would say it is that and preparing yourself to be an adult, exercising your motivation, and practicing your ability to take information and being able to translate it into your work.
One way you can demonstrate agency is using effort and practice to improve skills, improve work quality, or performance. I believe I did this many times throughout the year. A more recent example of a time I did this was in our Odyssey project, I painted my final piece and I felt like there was something wrong about it. Everyone told me it looked fine and I should just move on with the project, but there was something off. I then redid the piece and I am now so happy with it and how it turned out. Another way to demonstrate agency is actively participating in the activity/discussion, team meeting, and independent time. I think that I did do this for the duration of the year. When my teachers give us the time to meet with our teams for meetings or work time, I take advantage of that and really work to get whatever project we are working on done. My team and I, for our current project of making a film about Romeo and Juliet, are being very good about using our class time. So far, there has not been one day where we haven’t got a lot done in class. We have filmed scenes, recorded voice-overs and started editing using class work time. Overall, I think I have really developed an understanding of the meaning behind “agency” and have exhibited it in my work.
