CAS is a course in the IB diploma program and every IB student is required to do it. It stands for Creativity,Action and Service. CAS is a way of breaking away from the academic part of education as it involves physical activities and other extra curricular activities. These are also areas of education one way or another. I will use this blog to reflect on my CAS programs throughout out the course these next 2 years. Here are some goals I set myself for grade 11, the first year of the diploma program.
- Get on a Saisa team and actually commit to it. I have a tendency of not continuing things I have started. this has happened a lot in the past and I would like to change that. I want to atleast try out ( without quitting in the middle) whether I get in the team or not. I want to try out for Saisa girls basketball and Football.
- Archery- I have started this new sport just this August. This was something I wanted to do for a long time. It is a sport where I have to concentrate alot. I have to have the right posture to hold the bow and arrow properly. Because this sport is also a dangerous sport. ( an arrow could hit you) I have to be always be aware of my surroundings. This activity helps me learn a new skill.
- Help out more in RCCI ( Rehabilitation center for the communication Impaired) This is a service project I have been involved in this program for almost two years now and I have found out that we could do a lot to help the children out. I have already suggested to go to there school and possibly buy some play equipment's for the school. I have also been chosen as the co-Tresseruer for RCCI. This CAS also helps me work collabroatley with others which is a good thing because I am quite reserved.
- Learn to play the violin. I played the violin when I was in grade 1. That was a long time ago and I have forgotten almost everything about the violin except for the fact that it is a beautiful musical instrument. This will help me develop a new skill. I want to at-least learn one song before December.
- Build my stamina. The reason why I usually drop out of most of the sports i join is because I don't have alot of stamina. I could grow tired after a warm up excersie and this is not a good sign at all as my family has a history of heart diseases. So as I become more aware of that I decided to run for 30 mins and every other day do strength training exercises.
I will do my best to achieve these goals. The IB is a tough program and achieving all of these might be a problem because of time management but I will do my best to achieve them.
