CAS Year 2010-11 Reflection

When thinking back to the goals that I set at the beginning of the year, I think I did well in completing them.
Sunflower Village is one activity that I participated in throughout the whole year and with that I completed multiple things from the CAS criteria. I undertook new challenges, because even though I have been swimming for a long time, I've never helped other people learn how to swim. Also, I have worked collaboratively with others because apart from me, there are few more students with who I work together. I have participated in planned and initiated activities because before the kids come we always have a plan for what we are going to do, which is: swim for 30-40 minutes then spend some time having fun, playing waterpolo or something else.
For the other activities like football and wall climbing, my goal was to fulfill my time with something interesting and keep my body in a good shape. With participating in these activities I have worked collaboratively with others, because football is a team sport and it requires working as a unity, and for wall climbing, there should be at least one more person that you have to work with, which is again, working collaboratively. I also participated in planned and initiated activity while playing football, because before the matches we always have a team talk regarding our strategy and way of playing.
With Pinhole Photography and SAISA Art, I have completed my creativity part of CAS and I have developed my skills and undertaken new challenges because while working during SAISA I tried different methods that I haven't used before, and Pinhole Photography is a totaly new thing for me, so it's obvious that I have undertaken new challenges.
