Bodybar gym sessions - Action

Every week for the past 6 months I have been attending the gym "Bodybar" in order to keep fit and strong during this stressful IB diploma course. I have been working collaboratively with a colleague from school in order to maximise efficiency during the workout sessions. My main motivation for starting regular gym sessions lied in the ability to work and build different muscles of the human body. Hence I realised that this process would be extremely physical and strenous (all the more reason to do it for my action aspect of CAS)

Food and fun fair - Service

On March 10th I took part in the school's annual food and fun fair. The event is aimed at raising money for charity and each grade raised money for a particular service group that our school is involved with. Our grade came up with the idea of sponge throwing as an activity to raise money. I had a significant role in this as I collected all the money with the help of a few friends and was solely responsible for adverstising the activity during the fair.

This related to Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth because it enabled me to spread awareness for a good cause and help raise money. Also the skill of spreading awareness was further enhanced during this fair and is something that I believe will help me in the years to come whenever I want to engage in a charity event or anything of that nature.

Undertaken new challenges as well because I never had to spread awareness amongst such young people before. I had to communicate with children from pre-school all the way to grade 12.
