In the last two years I have been given the opportunity to participate in a number of activities that were provided at school and through other places. I have developed many new skills, and have met amazing goals and made amazing goals that I thought were never possible. Many of these skills will be very beneficial throughout my life, leadership especially. I undertook many challenges in the last two years such as doing new action activities and participating in activities such as Global Issues Network, Students for the Environment and Photography.
Most of these activities required an extreme amount of planning where I needed to plan my time accordingly to do what I needed to do in a short amount of time. For Students for the Environment especially, I was the head for the committee of planning and events. Sadly the big event that we were planning to have which would have featured Camp Mulla had to be cancelled due to lack of preformances and date conflicts with other clubs. Another event that required some planning was for Photography where we had to make sure that our meetings etc all were in line with what we could do.
All of these activities which I participated had me interact with others, helping to build my teamwork and responsibility. With these groups it showed me that people do need to rely on each other time from time, which is a very good quality that many people are now days lacking.
In all of the groups that I participated in over the last two years, I have been dedicated to the ones that I was currently in. I went to meetings regularly, I made sure to do any work I needed to do for the clubs involved. Although I was not as consistent with yoga due to scheduling problems I was very consistent with all of my clubs.
Overall in my two years of CAS/CASL I have not only grown as a person but I have gained experiences which are going to benefit me for the rest of my life. I have participated in activities that I never would have thought I would participate in. I hope that I do manage to continue doing activities such as these in the future.
