Beat Making

So since the end of last school year I have had interest in making hip hop instrumental music. In order to do that, I installed a program called Reason 4 and since then I have made many beats, some of which better than others. This year with spending more and more time on this, I increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth because I have realized that I am good at conducting the program, but however I need to try more and sample music from other songs, as this is an essential part of making hip hop music. I have undertaken new challenges as this is something I have never done before, even though I like hip hop music, I listen to it all the time and I have even written some lyrics. I have developed new skills because as I said, this is something I have never done before and from listening to my music I can conclude that my skills have grown enormously with time and practice. 
Soon, I will look into uploading my music on my blog.

Recycling

As planned, every Thursday we have Recycling. We go around the school, collect paper and cardboard from all the classrooms and bring it to our recycling room. Every week we get a huge amount of recyclable materials, especially paper. Every Thursday we put everything in our pickup truck and every week 2 students go to a place where they recycle all kinds of materials and sell the paper and cardboard. I have gone almost every time and most of the time we make around 300-600 rupees per week, which is $3-6. Meanwhile, plastics and glass are being collected and when we have a sufficient amount we will take them for recycling as well. With participating in this CAS activity I have participated in planned and initiated activities because everything we do is systematically arranged and everybody's job for the day is determined before we start working. Also, I have worked collaboratively with others because there are many other people in the group and we work collaboratively in collecting the materials as well as sorting them and getting them into the pickup truck. Every time, I show perseverance and commitment in my activities because I attend recycling regularly and most of the time it is me that goes to the recycling place. Together with the other older students in our grade, I make sure all the younger people are not being distracted and are doing their job properly. I have also engaged with issues of global importance because recycling reusable materials is an important thing to do in today's world in order to contribute to providing a environmentally sustainable society. I will be uploading pictures of our activities shortly.
