Focus#

I believe it’s pointless to repeat over and over again what IBlieve is and what my role entails. I explained all essentials here. So let’s jump straight to the work I did.

CAS 101#

This article is a bit of an exception because it is not an article as such, but an interview. The story is, I was assigned the following topic: “Do’s and Don’t’s for CAS”. However, I had no idea whatsoever how to approach it. Everything I could come up with seemed bold and useless. Fortunately, I experienced enlightenment - what if I would interview my CAS Coordinator? She should have something to say on the subject, right? So off I went.

Although initially uncertain, she agreed to meet with me and answer my questions. We chose a date, but it didn’t work out because of some unforeseeable circumstances. Luckily, my interviewee proposed recording her answers and sending them to me.

Now, I had to get text from the recording. I could pay for some speech-to-text generator, but it’s too expensive. What I did was I joined all the recordings together in a video editing program and uploaded thus made video to YouTube as private. YouTube automatically creates subtitles, which you can then download. And that’s what I did. After some editing, I had a finished article.

Of course, I received some feedback and editing from both the Team Leads and my CAS Coordinator, which certainly added quality to the final product. You can review it on the IBlieve website - here.

Unpublished articles#

October#

In October, we had to from group and produce some creating writing. The purpose of this task was to introduce writers to the readers via the “Others” tab on the website. I was paired up with someone, however, this person was unavailable and I had to write everything alone. Not that big of a problem.

The theme was sci-fi and I chose to write about prime factorization. I’d like to avoid spoilers and invite you to read the story once it’s published. For now, we have to wait.

November#

November is dedicated to changes in curriculum of certain subjects, primarily science, but philosophy was also updated. And I’ll be writing about the latter, though I haven’t started, but it’s about to change soon.

Performance#

I genuinely enjoy providing content for IBlieve. It’s something I’ve been waiting for and attempted with the Resource Center. Yesterday, I had a performance review with the Team Leads where they said they are happy with me on all levels: deadlines, writing quality, responsiveness etc. So it’s kind of a boost to keep going.
