Regarding becoming a pilot, it's important to note that while obtaining an ATAR may not be necessary to become a pilot, it can be beneficial for pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Aviation. However, there are other pathways available, such as VET qualifications or Diploma of Aviation, which can lead to a career as a pilot.

If you decide to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Aviation, some recommended (and transferable skills) subjects include Mathematics, Physics, English, Chemistry, and Biology. You may want to consider universities such as Swinburne or Edith Cowan University, which offer Bachelor's degrees in Aviation in Victoria.

It's also worth checking out resources such as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) website to learn more about the requirements and process to become a pilot in Australia. And if you're interested in starting your aviation training, enrolling in a Diploma of Aviation once you turn 15 (you may already be 15) would be an excellent way to get started.

Have a safe flight!

Hi Chris,

It's great to see that you are taking your education seriously and planning ahead and holding yourself accountable for your schoolwork.

In regards to your mental health conditions, I wanted to share with you some research that has shown that physical exercise can be one of the best medicines for anxiety and depression. Studies have found that regular exercise can improve mood, decrease stress and anxiety, and increase energy levels:

• A meta-analysis of 49 randomised controlled trials found that exercise was associated with significant reductions in symptoms of depression (Cooney et al., 2013).
• A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that exercise was effective at reducing symptoms of anxiety in adults with generalized anxiety disorder (Herring et al., 2012).
• A review of 30 studies published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research concluded that exercise was an effective treatment for depression in older adults (Blumenthal et al., 2007).
• A randomised controlled trial published in the British Journal of Psychiatry found that exercise was an effective treatment for depression in patients with heart disease (Lavie et al., 2016).

Aerobic exercises like running, cycling, and swimming have been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Resistance training, such as weightlifting, can also improve mood and reduce anxiety.

Physical training can be likened to a type of meditation in several ways. First, both physical training and meditation require concentration and focus. During physical training, one needs to focus on their form, breathing, and movements, which can help quiet the mind and create a meditative and focused state.

Remember, taking care of your physical and mental health is just as important as your academic work and in some aspects, it is essential to academic success itself!

Take care.

Hi Brian,

When it comes to selecting a Commerce major to complement a Data Science specialisation in Computer Science, there are several options that could be considered.

Business Analytics and Econometrics are among the most in-demand majors. This is because both majors have a strong focus on statistics and data analysis, which are skills that are highly valued in the field of data science.

That being said, some majors may have more direct relevance to Data Science than others. For example, Econometrics, which is a subfield of Economics, focuses on the application of statistical and mathematical techniques to economic data. This could be particularly useful in data analysis and modelling tasks, which are core aspects of Data Science.

Business Analytics is another major that could be relevant, as it focuses on the use of data and analytics to support business decision-making. It can provide students with skills in areas such as data mining, data visualisation, and predictive modelling, which are also important in Data Science.

These are the two most relevant right now in the business world at least in my experience within Project Based Consulting and Financial Services.

In terms of earning potential, majors such as Accounting, Finance, and Actuarial Studies are often associated with high salaries in the business world.

Don't let me persuade you that easily, ask some of your peers what they think and why... the final decision is up to you my friend.

Cheers

In Nine Days, relationships are a big deal. The book shows how having relationships can make you feel like you belong and give you a purpose. But, relationships can also be hard and sad when they end or don't go the way you want. The book is about the good and bad parts of having relationships with other people.

Here are a few quotes from the novel that could help support your analysis:

"Relationships are like music. You can't make them work if you're not playing the same tune" (p. 15).
"You can't see love, but you know when it's there. It's like a ghost" (p. 41).
"The truth is, when you love someone, you don't have to think about why. You just do" (p. 99).

Jordan deals with the importance of relationships is by showing how they can provide a sense of belonging and meaning in an uncertain world. For example, the protagonist, Will, is initially adrift and disconnected from the world around him, but he begins to find a sense of purpose and connection through his relationships with the other characters, particularly his family members and his love interest, Liv.

Good luck!

P.S.

Remember your writing style!

The structure of an analytical text response essay typically includes three main parts: an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

Introduction: This is where you introduce your main idea or argument for the essay. You should also give some background information about the text you're analysing and any important words or ideas that will help explain your argument.

Body paragraphs: These are the main parts of your essay. Each paragraph should focus on a different part of your argument, and start with a sentence that tells the reader what you're going to talk about. Then, you need to give evidence from the text to back up your argument. You can use quotes or examples to do this. Finally, you should explain what this evidence means and how it supports your argument.

Conclusion: This is where you sum up your argument and remind the reader what you've talked about. You should also explain why your argument matters and what the reader should take away from it.
