My CAS activities

 As you know CAS is an abbreviation of three words: Creativity, Action and Service.
 Right to the point, My Creativity part would be making origami frequently and sometime play some piano(keyboard) because it was my hobby probably few months ago but too much things have happen since and I decided to extend my skill and bring it to a new level.
 The CAS outcomes from those activities would be developing new skills, taking new challenges since I will try to learn new origami every week and learn a new song om piano, I would say till Christmas.Those two activities also takes some planning because I need to find both clean sheets and the music sheet and organise them together. Finally I will try to practice as much as I can everyday but practicing piano, I admit is a pretty boring thing but reward is worth the time spent. 
 My Action activity would be playing basketball after school and maybe in future I will have some private practices. Basketball is one of the longest hobby I have and it's a very good CAS activity.
 By playing basketball I would guaranteed to work in am team, which means I will have to learn to collaborate with others and improve my weaknesses by learning from them. I will be aware of my strengths and weaknesses which I will improve during playing basketball and maybe learn some new basketball tricks.
 Last but not least, the service part. I would offer to my classmates or anyone who would like some help in mathematics or any other subjects which I capable at.
Teaching in general is a good CAS activity and I don't want limit down the possibilities of things that I can teach others.Maybe a conversation with my classmate in foreign language will help both of us improve speaking level.
 The CAS outcomes could be considering ethical implication because by teaching some it will be my duty not to pass down bad habits or any ethical issues. The finally - aware of global importance. By practicing foreign languages I will try to cut out some articles from newspaper and talk about it with my classmates. In that way we would be able to read the news and discuss them.
 This is just a plan, there will be some variations from time to time but this is mostly what I will do throughout 2 years of IB and I hope I will become a person who has all characteristic from the IB profile.

  3. I (still) love the way you guys are communicating with each other. As long as you continue to show these qualities in school, your CAS program (and the rest of the IB) will be very successful.
