Does CAS actually have the capacity to change who you are?
Yes, it actually does. I signed up for Arts and Crafts with PPIS Child Care Center and Initiative For Peace (IFP) for season 1 to 4 and Badminton for season 2 and pre-season.
IFP
For IFP, it made me interact with a lot of people at the same time. I am an introvert when I am with new people and I lack self-confidence when it comes to stating my own opinions. However, during my time there, it forced me to interact and open up my perspectives.
Arts & Crafts with PPIS Child Care Center
The same goes for Arts and Crafts. Even though my past experience with kids has not been well and I do not enjoy their company most of the time, this service made me think about my decisions in a different approach. It made me want to interact with them more and I find myself enjoying their company from time to time.
Badminton
I am a very inactive person when it comes to sport activities. However, when I signed up for badminton pre-season, I find myself enjoying the activity and practices. Even though they are hard and tiring, it gave me joy and bliss. Thus, I even signed up for the season in-game and I got into C team.
All in all, all the activities and services that I participated in made me change as a person in a good and better way. Without it, I would not have realized my potentials and might still be hiding in a nutshell, in my own bubble. The activities forced me to look and try new things and I am grateful for the activities that I signed up for.
