CAS Reflection #2 Special Olympics

This service has made me take responsibility in various unexpected ways. Firstly, I have to be constantly ensuring that my partner is pushing themselves in their running but not to the extent where they feel uncomfortable, this I was expecting. The area which was unexpected was the planning involved in running. The route we take…

CAS Reflection #1 Special Olympics

For the last term of CAS, I have decided to participate in service outside of school called Special Olympics. In this service, we get paired up with individuals with a mental disability and run with them around different places in Singapore. I think that the similar service Yoga with MINDS opened my own mind to…

CAS Reflection #1 Culturama

For season 1, I have decided to participate in the Culturama showcase, dancing for Tanzania. I have done Culturama in grade 10 dancing for Spain and enjoyed it a lot but I think this year will be a very different experience as I am dancing for such a foreign country.

CAS Reflection #2 Culturama

CAS Reflection #1 Volleyball coaching

The activity involves teaching skills, giving feedback, guiding and leading activities. It really is great fun because it…

CAS Reflection #2 Pottery

CAS #4 Reflection Yoga With Minds

Finally, we got permission to meet our service partners and do the yoga activity with them. It has not been what I expected, to say the least. My expectations were that we would be doing yoga alongside our partners and give them tips from time to time, but it has been a lot more hands….

CAS Reflection #1 Volleyball Club

This term I am continuing to play volleyball but for this activity, it will be pure training rather than playing for a team. I will not need to focus as much on the team as a whole but on myself as a player and my skills. The main goal of this activity will be to…
