Initial Thoughts on CAS

After hearing the CAS presentation, my initial thoughts on CAS are that it doesn’t seem to be as hard as people make it out to be. This is contrary to my prior beliefs thinking that CAS would be difficult. According to the CAS presentation, we have to do at least  2 seasons of sport (action), 2 seasons of arts (creativity), and at least one year of local service. When broken down like this, it makes my CAS targets seem much more achievable and less burdensome. One thing that I took away from the presentation was that I should choose activities and services that are connected to my passions as well as trying activities and services that are outside of my comfort zone. I’m starting to see that CAS is not about completing IB requirements, but about exploring and reinventing yourself as a person.
