Culturama Final Reflection
Now that Culturama has finished, it is time to reflect back onto this experience. The whole experience of Culturama was amazing and much more fun than I expected it to be. I got to work with my friends and learn new things with and from them as well. In the end the commitment and hard work that we all put into the dance and performance was all worth it. The energy on the stage that night was amazing, something I will never forget. Although I still don’t think I am the best dancer, I do think I learnt a lot from this experience, how to learn new skills and focus my attention onto doing so. Performance night was a very good experience, with my parents watch as well, the energy on stay was so energetic especially when we performed the Can-Can. I learnt a lot from my amazing dance leaders and although I don’t know if I will try dancing again in the future, it was defiantly a memory I will never forget and was 100% worth all the hard work I put in. I am so proud of myself and my fellow dancers, especially my dance leaders, for the final show we put on, although we went through some bumpy times where the dance was not a good as it could have been, we managed to pull everything together at the end and have an amazing show to perform.
Final Reflection
Finally I have submitted my final EE, the whole process has been really stressful for me but also very rewarding. Having to do so much research was very tiring, but it was also very fun as my topic was genuinely something I am interested in. I think from my first draft, my EE has improved a lot and I have learnt not only about medical marijuana and social anxiety, but also important skills such as finding educational resources and learning how to insert in-cite citations into an essay. Although throughout the process my supervisor did change, both of them were extremely helpful in guiding me through this past year or so. Lastly, I also learnt a lot about how to navigate myself through all of the online resources out there, to be able to find the valuable and educational ones as well.

Culturama Initial Reflection
I have never previously participated in Culturama before, but since this is my last academic school year at UWC I decided that it would be a nice opportunity and experience to join before I leave. I had a few difference dances that I was thinking about joining as a possibility, but the France dance was run by 2 of my good friends, and they expressed to me that they thought their dance would be a good fit for me.
I have been participating in practice for a few weeks now and I find the commitment really similar to Kahaani. I am finding it a lot easier not as I have had the experience of Kahaani last year so I know how a weekly lunch rehearsal(or more) can feel like even when you don’t feel like participating sometimes. Unlike Kahaani, in my Culturama dance I have a lot more friends and people I know, making the commitment part of the activity a lot easier and making the dance a lot more fun overall. I have not missed any practice for the first couple of weeks and we even had an extra optional practice that I attended since dancing is not something I am very good at, I feel a responsibility as part of the group to put my time in to make sure I do not fall behind and cause any trouble to my dance leaders too. I am very excited to keep working hard on Culturama for the next season, our dance seems to be turning out very well and I’m looking forward to seeing the final product !
