What has been the biggest challenge within CAS so far? What might you do to improve this?
There’s no major challenge in any particular one thing, but it’s like there is a bit of difficulty in everything, cumulatively there are just so many things and put some pressure on me. I feel like my mind is always thinking about different things; I can’t focus or pay close attention for a long time. This impacted my academic study a little. I used to always fully immerse in my learning, but now I can hardly do that. To improve this, I think I can write down what I need to do and when I should do it, then just stop thinking about it.
I want to just record the small challenges.
Creativity:
I didn’t get in the two art-related activity(marimba and animate), so next semester I better get one to fill creativity requirement. But it can be tricky because I plan to join the badminton team. I thought I could at least get into one of the two, so sad, they are so interesting. I want to do badminton and it can be hard because I will have to do more things if I join other activities.
Service:
I became the legislation officer in my service Lighthouse. It’s the first time I take a leadership role. I think that’s going to be a challenge. But I think there’s a lot that I will learn. I want to do well in my leadership role and make the service better, and also learn how to take responsibilities.
Activity:
I’m so bad at gymnastics! I can’t even complete warm-up😂😂😂
But the children are so friendly and the coach is very kind and experienced. She tried to teach me forward roll, but I was too scared to try. I learned backward roll and a few jumps. I want to learn forward roll next week and learn more after that. I successfully persuade Rita to join karate, I feel very happy about it. I did so bad at the last grading, but I’m so lucky to still got passed. I want to get better so I can feel happy about how I do at gradings.
Other:
I have an idea of starting a club. I’m quite sure what I want to do, but I have no idea if I will be able to do it. I talked to Mr. Rick about it. There’s a bit of communication problem with me. I can’t clearly tell others all the details about my idea, it’s a bit too important to me. I can only talk to my parents about it easily. So when he asked me about the details of what I want to do, I said I don’t know just to stop him from asking. Now I feel like I should have told him more. Anyway, he said I should try even if I might fail. I agree with that, but it is not just about me, I need to get my friends and a teacher to join if I really want to do it. I don’t feel okay to persuade others to join something that might fail. I have time to figure it out.
