As the final semester draws to a close so
does the final semester of CAS. I can honestly say that I have grown a lot
during the whole of the CAS experience. First of all, I committed myself to a
sport (Archery) for two whole years. Before joining the CAS program I’ve never
shown any perseverance in action so
this was a huge improvement for me. Also CAS gave me the opportunity to be a
leader. I became the leader of RCCI (Rehabilitation Center for the
Communication impaired) In many was this was on the most challenging piece of
work I’ve ever done. This was my first time being a leader of a service group
and this group allowed me to plan and
initiate activities while all the while juggling my schoolwork. It also
allowed me to undertake a new challenge.
I started RCCI in 9th grade so this is my
fourth year in RCCI, Now that I've been appointed leader of this service group
I need to show even more commitment by coming up with new ways to help these
kids. I've already thought of some things we could do for their center itself.
Such as raising money and buying new play equipment for their
playground as it's been five years since they've bought a play equipment. The
least we could do is paint and revenue their play area as this is an area they
venture in regularly everyday. Engaged with issues of global
importance One of the best things about being in RCCI is knowing that I'm
giving back to community and it's one that's looked over a lot. OSC was the
first school that accepted the kids because all the other schools were afraid
on how to interact with these children with disabilities. Developed new
skills, taking over the leadership role in itself is a new skill. It's a
good experience for me because I found that I quite enjoy being able to
make negotiations and decisions with the supervisors. Also, this year for
creativity I joined cross stitch and embroidery and set design on the first
semester. On the first session we had to plan
Also this is a new challenge for me because I had no prior
knowledge that this industry requires to work on tight shedules but planning
around and managing my time is one of my strengthens.. Concerning the set
itself I considered the ethical implications of this process.
Every year there is going to be a new play and every year new supplies are
bought for this particular play.I'm going to ask the supervisor to keep the set
pieces of this play for next year so we can re use the set and make necessary
changes. Joining these after school activities I learned to think about the
ethical implication of doing these activities.
