Focus Groups aren’t needed in our CAS course, but nonetheless, I picked Knit a Square mainly because I felt this focus group was one of the most hands-on activities in our school. I can physically see my progress and I feel good once I see how much I have done. Unlike many other activities that work towards a cause, most of them are about collecting money, but here your individual progress makes a difference. I’ve been in this focus group for a few weeks now and so far I have enjoyed my every second, excluding the first twenty minutes figuring out how to knit, but after that I have enjoyed every moment since. It’s a very calm activity and helps to take pressure off my mind, like a little breather where you Knit for a cause. It’s very enjoyable and I will probably be signing up for this focus group for my second year in IB.
