Through my CAS project, I planned a summer coaching camp for children here at school with Chelsea, through the project I planned diverse and varied sessions. It was an enlightening experience to see the progression of the players in various age groups. There were some challenges with the process such as the changing restrictions with covid 19 which made the planning of sessions very difficult at times as they had to be adapted to the changing rules.

Grade 11 review
Grade 11 was an interesting year with many ups and downs. The impact of covid 19 made the year somewhat disrupted with the transitions through different rules within the school as well as within the country. In addition, the transitions from online learning provided a unique life-changing experience. After the growth I have shown myself through grade 11 I am looking forward to the new challenges of grade 12
PSE Unit reflection
Over the past unit, we covered a lot of skill that could help us in our future and we also covered skills that can help us plan for our future. For example, we learnt how to write CV’s, we learnt how to manage conflict in both work environments as well as in our school environment, We also learnt about personal and professional relationships and the difference between them as well as many other aspects that could help me progress in the future. Some things that I really benefited from this unit in PSE are the CV writing as it is a real skill that. you need to master for example making sure you include that relevant info as well as being concise. In addition, the Mayers brigs test was really interesting to see and quite eye-opening. One thing that I found challenging was. the networking although useful it was challenging to get my head around the concept as well as it is in an unnatural environment added to the challenge.
Emotional Intelligence – my musings around goal setting
This year, I would like to develop the skill/quality of Focusing on myself this is important to me because I think it will make problems and challenges be easier to overcome this will help me be a better person and overcome challenges and problems easier I think This will help others by allowing me to be more emotionally aware and be able to help others through their problems. I dislike when I make emotional choices/ statements, I see this in myself when I am upset or stressed and faced with a problem and can sometimes make bad choices based on emotions. This bothers me because I feel the consequences of the bad decision that I made when I was emotional and it sometimes affects others. I can overcome this by taking the time to compose myself and breath during stressful times and take time and space away from the situation.

I think that there is a lot of different underlying messages and meaning to this quote “You didn’t make good choices. You had good choices.” I think that the basic meaning of this quote is that there was a right decision to make but you chose the wrong/bad decision. I think we can link this to the BLM riots, however, the wrong and right choice is very much opinion based however I think many people think that some of the things going on in America related to the BLM campaigns are wrong. I think that there was a right decision to be made in terms of a peaceful protest however the decisions that were made to start violence and looting were wrong.
BLM Recording
Bias and racism
This video made the most impact for me as it is through football which is something I am passionate about. I also felt that the message going through the sports world can be very powerful as many young kids look up to these players and if players set a good example our younger generation will follow. I think sport and football is one of the best ways to get a strong message out as it has a huge audience and it can impact a lot of generations. I think it very important to educate the younger generation whos families may not have the “correct” attitude towards the situation.
Izzy diary entry
She can’t control me but she thinks she can. She thinks that she can make me a mini her. To her, he thinks she is in control her controlling manners don’t work with me she thinks I am to be a mini her, but no I am me. She will never be able to control me I will never be a mini her. One day she will realise it, one day.
