Reflection
The Andaman trip was a CAS trip for the school. This trip's scuba diving was one of
the most fascinating and thrilling experiences I've ever had. It was a huge hit for me.
Apart from the fact that I had
h ad previously done scuba diving, this time it assisted me in
growing even further and overcoming my fears. Since the instructors were still present
to lead the divers in the dive, a lot of preparation was required. It was a partnership
 between myself and the instructor thatthat led us to go further than the others for the dive,
 but also because I had some prior experience. There were magnificent animals down
there that I saw. It was very difficult to do it again because it is an
a n undeniably
dangerous yet enjoyable sport. I was asked not to contact any of the aquatic animals,
which I accepted because it was a matter of protection and it was also ethically
necessary to follow the instructions of a teacher with more experience than me. Some
 people couldn't finish the dive because they werewere afraid, but I did so because it
it

demonstrated my dedication to the sport.

 

• This CAS trip was fantastic, and I had a great time there. The scuba
diving experience was both enjoyable and demanding. Although
Although the
exercise was simple for me when I was younger, I felt very safe doing
it with my friends and the coaches. It was a lot of fun and a lot of
work, particularly because I was nervous about re-doing the activity
after such a long time. It was as though my mind was replaying
itself. The stunning corals and fish that swam by were both frightening
and thrilling. Spending time with nature was important for
understanding life under the surface. Despite having previously
completed the exercise, I calmly followed the guidelines and
completed a well-planned enjoyable dive.

• It was great helping the young minds learn. My team and I enjoyed
spending the day with the students. Painting the walls and decorating
them, playing chess with the students, different types of sports and
much more fun activities helped me understand the culture and way of
living of such kids. I was glad that I got to help and be a part of the
society by making their school more fun and enjoyable as even they
engaged in the activities supporting and helping us.
 

Annual day celebration

• The theme of this year's annual day celebration was how India got its name
"BHARAT." It was a play set in the 1800s, and I was cast as a guard. The key
ruler, BHARAT'S father, has a significant influence over his entire society,
including how he and his son, as well as the mother,
mother, reunite after years apart. It
was an enjoyable act, and it was something different for me because I usually
only danced at annual day celebrations. This was a one-of-a-kind opportunity
for me to learn and develop by building interest and speaking in front of a
diverse audience.

lengthy but with some difficulties i managed to complete it. the race was organised with
security officers as well as local cops blocking traffic at junctions which made it safe. i faced
one problem that during me riding my rear breaks had broken down which made it difficult
for me to break but i still manged to complete the race without any major difficulties as one
of the crew members helped me fixing my brakes. in conclusion it was fun as well as tiring
experience and i will make sure to participate again. i got to know my stamina is not up to

mark and i have to work upon that to improve it.

 

Cycling once every week 

• I decided to take up a healthy physical activity with my friends which i
 performed every week . My goal was to improve my stamina which
had reduced drastically due to less physical activity during the corona
virus. I have always wanted to bike long distances but that can be
achieved if i practice regularly to gain experience.

Dignity Generations
• Dignity generations was an event which my school Sm Shetty had
given us a opportunity to go. it was an inter generational event which
meant we had perform along with elder people. we had a dance
competition, me and my 2 friends had joined me for this. i was
assigned a partner. we had to perform in an auditorium at Dadar
Mumbai. i was practicing along with them for 3 days and had to dance
on 2 different songs. overall it was a fun event. i got an opportunity to
understand the thoughts and processes of older people and also
methods to bridge the generational gap.
 

Reflection
• I had to practice multiple hours in order for this dance to be success. It
was a collaborative skill with my friends and senior citizens. We
We had
to show patience as senior citizens took a lot of time to cope up with
the dance moves. I noticed how many of them were finding it difficult
to learn the steps hence I decided to guide them to do so. It has been
an amazing experience, I also learnt many new dance moves in the
 process. This activity also taught me that senior citizens also want to
interact with young people and sometimes show more enthusiasm in
 performing some tasks. It was worth practicing
practicing several hours for the
competition as it really showed what true collaboration and
commitment is.

Hindi chart making

• My Hindi teacher Mrs Dubey had assigned Hindi students to create
charts about floods in hindi which occur in every rainy seasons in
Mumbai. despite the efforts Brahamumbai municipal corporation also
known as BMC Mumbai still has periodic flooding. i also became
aware of the problems Mumbaikars are facing which i was kind of
unaware of. it was a fun experience, scanning for articles related to
flooding. despite of more than 1000mm of water in many parts of
Mumbai we still have a crunch of water at the end of the cycle. India
needs to invest in water storage facilities.

level one should not litter up the streets thus clogging drains leading to floods.
 

Hindi debate on religious issues of India

• My hindi teacher had given us a oppurtunity to conduct a debate along
with my classmates about a issue in temples. the topic was weather it
was ethical of the temple taking charities in the name of uplifment of
the backward classes while it was suspected that the money received
in the form of funds was used in some other practices. our goal was to
debate on this topic and come to an appropriate conclusion with
respect to both the teams.
 

Reflection
• The topic was about a issue in temples, weather it was ethical of the temple taking
charities in the name of upliftment of the backward classes while it was suspected
that the money received in the form of funds was used in some other practices. I
noticed that the topic was quite frequently on the trending news. many temples in
India take money in the name of charities to help the poor people but this money is
really used in other tasks. In my debate 2 of my classmates are for the topic and
other two are against. It was an great opportunity to collaborate with my peers. I

In defense of animals
• Me an my classmates had decided to go to a animal hospital named in
defense of animals in Deonar. we had decided that we will help the
staff to take care of the animals, feed the dogs and also cook meals for
them. my goal was to make sure that every animal assigned to me was
fed properly and taken care of during my duration of time and also
learn about the daily functioning of the hospital so that i could be
more helpful top them in the future.
 

Reflection
• This is a non-profit organisation
organisation that helps stray dogs and cats by providing them with a
safe haven complete with food,
f ood, water, and other necessities. This is essentially a hospital
that treats these creatures, or other animals for that matter. IDA has a lovely large area for
many animals to live, but the populatio
populationn is quickly growing. I support this NGO by
feeding new born animals, comforting them in the light, playing with them, planting trees
so they can thrive in a lovely setting, and so on. This not only makes me improve in many
ways, such as physically, but it also helps me become stronger and confront more of my
worries when it comes to street animals. I help this NGO by feeding new born animals, animals,
 bringing them into the sunshine,

trees so that they can live
in a beautiful environment. This not only helps me develop in a variety of ways, such as
emotionally,, but it also helps me grow better and confront more of my concerns about

street animals. I am completely committed towards this work of mine and also we are
globally serving by controlling the animal population which preferably should not exceed
any further.

Juhu beach cleanup

• Me and my friends decided to go for the juhu beach cleanup. This
cleanup is organised every year and we wanted to be a part of it. The
moment I entered the beach it was no less than a garbage dump. My
aim was to be a helping hand in making the beach clean as apparently
it is one of the iconic beaches of mumbai. All this garbage can also
lead to release of toxic gases and danger to many animals due to
choking. We
We worked for quite a few hours, about 500 people were

Learning keyboard
• Learning keyboard is fun because not only it is challenging to learn
 but also gives the calmness through in the
the form of songs. It requires a
lot of skills and commitment. The planning is the most important
aspect as we need to know all the basic tunes about it while playing.
Also it is more fun to play with a band like being surrounded with
drums, guitar, paino, keyboard, etc.
 

Reflection
• Although the process of learning it is quite slow over such a long period, I have come to really enjoy the
instrument. I have also become aware of my strength as being able to memorize things well, which is
very helpful in learning all of the notes that I need to know. A weakness that I have, though, is my
impatience sometimes with the process. Since there is such a long time between the lessons, it is easy to
forget what I was learning the previous week. A way I have overcome this is by quickly looking over
what I did everyday, so that I can remember it.
This is the first time that I am learning an instrument, so I can relate to the challenge of it being like
learning a new language.

I have shown perseverance because I have attended every lesson and commitment because I also try to
review/learn in my own free time.
The most prominent skill that I have developed is my actual keyboard playing. Another skill that I have
developed through these lessons is reviewing work everyday, in order to remember it clearly as well as
the "theory" or not practical part of playing the piano, so knowing all of the notes, keys, etc.

Overall this is definitely an activity I want to carry on because it is something completely new to me and
is definitely one of the most interesting on my list.
 

Sanitizing my building once a week 

• To keep me and my neighbors safe during the corona virus crisis i
decided to sanitize all the public areas in my building using a ppe kit
to prevent the spread of the infectious disease in my building.
 

Reflection
• In order to keep myself and my neighbours healthy during the Corona virus outbreak, a
friend and I took the initiative to sanitise all of the public areas in the complex with a
PPE kit in order to deter the transmission of infectious diseases. It was satisfactory, and
I felt very secure in terms of virus protection. It was a good start and we needed to do
something for society instead of simply seeing a virus spread. And when we were
exhausted, we did not leave any place. It was a little difficult because after a few

School enterprise challenge

• The business day was to support our ideas, collaborative skills, planning and engaging
with the world on how to run a real business. This made it challenging, as it was a
competition but also we had to open the best environmental friendly business in our
school. A web page was also created for online and outside customers to engage with us
for our increases in sales. We sold plants, composts and compost kits at an economic
 price to as well as challenging other well-known
well-known competitors. The salessales made on that
 particular day was amazing and beyond expectations. We had to plan every set up and
then proceed with a full proof plan so that nothing goes wrong. Although

was to market the products to potential customers while dressed up as an tree covered

Reflection
• Identifying my strengths was about communicating and being
confident enough in order to sell all the products. My main challenge
was to attract people/customers to our stall and convincing them into
 purchasing products. I had gathered everyone from my department and
I had the dictatorship to lead each student and delegate tasks to them. I

Tree plantation at Ambrosia Park 

• Planting samplings gives us knowledge on how we shouldn't destroy
and instead help our mother nature grow
grow.. A fun and alive experience
that helps me to support and understand how widely our countries

Reflection
• Trees love us unconditionally
unconditionally,, they flourish, fight adversity, and
devote their whole lives to serving the humans who planted them.
They provide us with shelter, tasty meals, and a beautiful life, as well
as providing us with fresh strength through the purification of the air
and instructing us on how to live a peaceful and
a nd inspired life. Trees
will undoubtedly aid in the slowing of climate change, but they will
not be able to stop it on their own. It is good to plant trees as it
supports the nature.
 

Working out at home

• I decided to workout at home during the lockdown imposed by my
country(India) since i had become very less physically active since all
the gyms were closed. i worked out 1 hour a day for 1 months. My
goal was to increase my muscle mass and increase my maximum
number of push ups and squats from 10 to at least 20. and decrease my
weight by 6kgs.
 

Reflection
•  Nowadays, no one wants to admit to being
being health conscious. I've been
working out for quite some time. I am very concerned for my fitness.
Lifting weights is about gaining enough strength

determining how to structure your exercise and schedule, as well as
adhering to a diet. The term "ethics" refers to sticking to the planned
or predetermined exercise sets without leaving or misleading yourself.
Challenge refers to how difficult you can be and how hard you can
sweat out by putting yourself under stress, while dedication refers to
sticking to your promise by doing the whole exercise without
stopping.
