My Genius Hour Blog



Hey everyone! My name is Milica (pronounced Melissa) Mrkonjic and I am a first year Consecutive Education (primary/junior) student at Brock University. Ever since I could remember, I've always wanted to become a teacher. This may sound cliche but nothing is more rewarding than having a child get that "light bulb" moment when everything they've been struggling with suddenly clicks. I hope to bring my enthusiasm, passion and kindness to every classroom. I am looking forward to this teaching journey and cannot wait to see what my future holds!

For most people without allergies, we often take for granted being able to indulge in foods with milk and eggs. In my next blog post I will challenge myself to find a recipe that does no...

I had so much fun baking recipes that I've never tried before and challenging myself to keep them as healthy as possible. My Genius Hour question was "how will making healthy dessert recipes affect my overall physical health?" Throughout this process of baking healthy goods, I've noticed my cravings for sugar has lessened overall. Even having a few spoons of ice cream or a bite of a chocolate bar is good enough for me to satisfy my sweet tooth. In terms of my physical health, I have noticed I have a little more energy and I'm excited to see where this will take me in the future! The best part about having snacks prepped and ready to go to take with me on the go has been a life saver in the morning. I'm the type of person to hit my snooze button five times before I decide its time to get out of bed. So having these baked sweets already ready has been great! I...
