Traditional Medicine of Sumatra
During this quarter, we had to do a thorough research on a traditional medicine of our choice (the circumstance is that the medicine had to come from our assigned province). I created a slideshow on the medicine XAMathone, which is a herbal medicine made from mangosteen. We also had to present the powerpoint, which I think I did quite well. This sample was my best work because it reflects my knowledge of traditional medicine from Sumatra and it's connection with science. I think it's interesting because the science proves the wisdom and knowledge of ancestors, and that people with experience can sometimes cover up years of lengthy research (which also end up becoming experience). I put a lot of effort into this project, which I think contributed to it's successfulness. I also think that I spoke well and I was able to answer all the questions asked based on research. I can improve next time by being less wordy in the presentation and by speaking slower. I think that this assignment reflects my IB profile inquirer because I wanted to find out more about XAMathone, and I did some extra research that ended up helping me in the questions and answers.
