Collaboration in Season 2 Service

Reflecting on Season 1 of Swimming
I believe this photo best describes how my skills have developed this season. In an attempt to be more risk-taking, I wanted to sign up for different swimming events. During some swim meets I would sign up for different events that I don’t usually swim. I also pushed my self to sign up for an open water swim. It was 2km and I hadn’t done anything like this in a long time. We swim 2km time trials in training so it wasn’t completely new to me. I was the only one in my team doing it so I had to figure out a lot of stuff by myself. Furthermore, on the same day, I had club championships until 4:30, I had to quickly make my way to the venue and get ready to swim another race. The race itself was quite tricky, the current was really strong and having had little-to-no experience with open water swimming, I was so relieved when I crossed the finish line first.

Looking back on the first season of service
Thus far, in my service (Computer Skills with Hougang Care Centre) we haven’t been able to meet up with our partners as of yet. We are planning to meet them the first week back after the break. Up until now, we have just been planning what we are going to do with them. Having extra time to plan was actually quite useful as now, I think everyone in the service is confident in the plan and I believe it will lead to a successful year. So far, one of the biggest challenges is definitely being able to collaborate with the whole group in the service. I only really know a few people in the service so most of the time I will do tasks and group work with them. It may be useful to branch out and work with others as it may benefit the group as a whole. I think as the second half of the term progresses, I will try my best to work with others in the service as being open-minded and willing to accept new ideas could lead to an overall improvement of our efforts to help the Care Centre.

Looking at the next few years of CAS
Over the next years in IB am I looking forward to my CAS experiences. With swimming consuming most of my time, I am really looking forward to where this year of training will take me. Not only that but also the different creative activities that I might try to push myself out of my comfort zone. I am considering to sign up for different things like DJ Club and Culturama that I have never done before. Although I have a lot on my pate, with swim training 9 sessions a week I think I will be able to maintain a nice balance. I find that swimming helps me to keep organized and well self-managed. I find it makes me far more productive and I am much more efficient with my time. I have started using google calendar to keep myself organized, I also have bookmarked the Gade 11 IB Calendar to help me keep up to date with deadlines and due dates
