What did you plan to do this quimester?
I planned on engaging in a number of activities that would encompass
the three fields involved in CAS. Being part of CAS groups in school that
went on visits to other organizations was the plan to get involved with
service. I also planned to get more involved in football, and thus aimed at
doing multiple activities involving it, including the senior boys football
extracurricular in school and also attend the La Liga football school
outside of school.
I was also informed by the CAS coordinator that I was chosen, along with
a few other students to go on a trip that deals with autism, located in
Ambato. I looked forward to being part of that experience.
Finally, I planned on continuing with the school band, because it was so
much fun the partial before when I did it.
What did you do?
I ended up taking part in all of the activities that I intended to take part
in, including the InterCAS trip to Ambato.
Something that I ended up doing additionally by the end, which I didnt
initially plan on doing, was refereeing some of the house games, due to
spraining my ankle badly and not being able to participate in them.
What do you think about the activities you completed this quimester?
I think that they were successful, and I greatly enjoyed taking part in all
of them. Some challenges arose in some of the activities that I enlisted
before, like imposing my authority and make people respect my
decisions when refereeing, or putting myself in a situation that I wouldnt
have normally dared to put myself in and play in front of a public,
however small the public was.
I not only enjoyed myself thoroughly this quimestre, but throughout the
experiences that taking part in the activities brought me I feel that I have
come out of it a better person. I got to see how less fortunate people have
had to live, just by virtue of being born into less fortunate
circumstances. I got to understand the importance of preserving ones
native species, not only in terms of taking care of the planet and
ecosystem, but also the national heritage and identity. Furthermore, I
learnt about autism and experienced it first hand instead of just hering
about it.
keep being part of the school band because it was such a positive
experience the last quimestre. The La Liga football club outside of school
is something I probably will stop doing, given that we were recently told
that we were getting to old to participate anymore, but the Senior Boys
Football club is something that I will definitely be a part of; I love the
competitive spirit.
I will surely be part of a CAS group next quimestre too, given that it is
school endorsed, but the specifics of what theme we will focus on and
what organizations we decide to visit are a mystery as of yet. Whatever
the focus turns out to be, I am sure that it will be just as productive and
fulfilling as the last project.
