Reflection

      This past semester have flown by and from these past four months I can honestly say that I have learned alot and grew alot. First of all in RCCI RCCI is a sevice project I have been in scine ninth grade and I can say from where I have started to where I am now I have changed a lot. In ninght grade all I did was just go to the service do what had needed to do and go back home but this time the service demanded more from me because I am the second oldest student there next to the service leader and the current service leader was preparing me this past four months to be the next service leader. So from that experience I have been exposed to leadership and I can say that I have gotten some leadership qualities like keeping the group in place when they wander off task. Also I am personally close to some of the children that come to play here.

     Knitting. I joined the Knitting service group in this last quater because beleive it or not I love sewing and I desgin costumes for my younger cousins in my spare time as a hobby and since this quarter have been so busy I have barely enough time to commit to my hobby so instead I joined the "sewing and embroidery" after school activity in order to continue my hobby

  Archery I am very commited to this sport as I am determined to continue this in the future. It requires a lot of patience ( which I lacked in the begining because I am very immpatient by nature) Also it reqires precision and a good eye to aim and these skills aren't only useful in archery as it could be applied at any given circumstance. Increased their awareness

   My time in RCCI have really opened up my mind to what these kids and their parents are going through. It made me greatful for what I have and it made me think of how many people would actually accept these kids to our society. I have learned that the RCCI school had asked alot of schools to help them out atleast once a week but they all turned them downe because they were afraid of how these kids would act. Our school was the only one that took the risk to help these children and it made me really proud. 

    Undertaken new challenges When the RCCI CAS leader was away because she had examination so I had to take over for the time being and I really learned on what it took to be a leader of a programme. 

   Planned and initiated activities Before April break on the same week the CAS leader was away I had to make the arrangements to buy gifts for the children and make sure everyone knew what they were bringing for the end of year party ( eg;- food, drinks,music...etc) I had to manage my time wisley in order to make sure these things will go smoothly. 

   Worked collaboratively with others Also in RCCI-- I had to work with a lot of people . The more I work with a lot of people the more I am comfortable with working with more people. Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities I have been in this CAS group since 9th grade and since then I've gone to every single CAS meeting and since I've started the sewing group I have been going to that too and the same goes for my commitment in archery.  Engaged with issues of global importance RCCI- These are children in need and as I said before not many people wanted to help them because they were afraid and I'm glad to be part of this small percentage who is actualyl doing something to help these children and my time here have made me want to research more about the children with dis-abilities and whethere there are any ways or on going research to help them.. or cure them.  Considered the ethical implications of their actions Archery- As much as I love it as a sport I am well aware of the implications. It is a dangerous sport. For example when I'm shooting I have to make sure there isn't anyone infront of me even if they are a meter away. the same goes for wandering animals like cats or dogs. I don't want to accidently hurt or kill anything. Also my coach had told me to introduce archery to maldives and I had to say no to that because it will go horribly wrong there. Already the country is in political turmoil and people are carrying knives and cutters to inflict damage or kill innocenve. Just imagine what would happen if archery were to be introduced?  Developed new skills - My growing leadership qualities.
