Culturama

Through the Culturama experience, I worked on learning outcome 5. In any group dance, it becomes essential for all members to work collaboratively. During our practices, our dance leaders would work with us to ensure that everyone understood and picked up the steps. If we had any concerns, our leaders were always open to suggestions. The dance itself required a lot of coordination, and at several points, we were paired up, due to which it became necessary for us to work cooperatively with our dance partners. I found that due to our collaboration, we developed a sense of community during the practices that only helped us during our final performance.

Inkling Literary Magazine

This has been an extremely exciting activity for me due to my love for writing. I have worked on learning outcome 4 during this experience as I have shown commitment to my interest in writing. I have not only worked towards improving my skills by exploring a variety of styles of writing, but have also written a poem that has been published on the magazine’s website.

Yoga Activity

I have been a yoga practitioner since grade 8, and this activity allowed me to continue and improve my practice of yoga. I think I have worked on learning outcome 4 as I have been very committed to this activity. I use both the yin and yang styles of yoga that I have learned during this activity for my own practice of yoga at home. This is hence an activity that I have now incorporated into my daily life and enjoy thoroughly.

Psychology Society

Due to my immense interest in the field of psychology, I decided to participate in the psychology society. From the beginning of the season, I think I have worked a lot on learning outcome 7, as in the field of psychology, several ethical considerations need to be taken before something regarding mental health is published or even discussed. As I am part of a team that writes and publishes articles regarding mental health, we need to ensure that what we write will not offend or have an adverse impact on anyone, as that defeats the purpose. Hence we make sure to go over our material several times and cross check with our psychology teachers who run the activity.
