Action - Sports Day

On September 7th 2011, it was sports day! The entire morning and a bit of the afternoon was dedicated to playing a variety of games. I took part in football, basketball, kickball and volleyball. I think this is an excellent example of Action because we were sweating profusely by noon. Also we showed a great sense of teamwork and collaboration and especially red house (my house) as we came first place.

Goals

During the next 2 years I hope to fulfill my CAS requirement by engaging in a number of activities.

For Creativity, I am going to participate in the school musical, Fiddler on the Roof. I feel that this will demonstrate creativity because it's theatre and I have to act and sing in front of a large audience which is no easy task. Since the actual musical is in November I will be quite occupied with the it for most of the semester and I think it's fair to say that the musical alone will fulfill my creativity requirement for the first semester.

For Action I won't be doing a lot this semester because I will be taking part in the musical and when combined with homework, almost all my time is taken. However I do go to the gym 4 times a week which fulfills the requirement stating that students have to sweat! I can further modify this and perhaps try out new programs in order to make it more interesting and give me something to talk and reflect about.

For Service, I am currently enrolled in the Cleft-Lip and Palette service group which I did last semester (Grade 10) as well. I feel this CAS is one that I can contribute to because the activities we organise to raise money are for an extremely good cause. This gives students like myself an incentive to put in maximum effort to to help these underprivileged children.
