Hello!
Above I’ve inserted the recording of my reflection for the end of the year. A couple of things that I want to add:
Firstly, this reflection focuses mainly on the past. Below are my plans for progress toward my goals over the summer and in Grade 10.
- I’m thinking about also volunteering at CPAS (Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore, where I do service on Mondays) with my family to gain more insight into other age groups who have to cope with Cerebral Palsy and what more I can do to help the kids as well as other people. I’ve really wanted to introduce my family to the service that has taught me so much.
- I’m planning to continue learning the guitar as well as the piano, and at some point pick up the violin. It’s a lot, but learning new instruments is really fun and I love being able to play a diverse range of songs. The guitar has been so much fun and I’m hoping that the violin will also offer a wide range of opportunities for reducing stress, learning about music and enjoying and relaxing myself.
- During the summer, I’ll be trying to access music and instruments as much as I can. Since I’m visiting one of my closest friends, who also plays the piano and her father plays the guitar, I’m hoping I can get some valuable practice and performance time in then.
- At the beginning of Grade 10, I’m going to be doing a large ensemble, which will be my first large ensemble performance. I’m excited to see how I’ll react and it’ll give me more performance practice.
- I’m planning to take my Grade 8 exam perhaps in the middle of Grade 11, or at the end of 2020. This means I can start working towards my diploma towards the end of G11 or in G12, and that means I might be able to teach in university.
That just about covers it! Thanks for reading and listening, and I hope you, my reader, have a great summer!
