My Goals for CAS

Now that my IB years have begun, CAS will play a major role and I will use this blog to write about and reflect on what I did. It would be important to have clear-set goals that I would aim to achieve which will help me stay on track and focused. My goals for each sections are:

Creativity:
Playing piano would be one of my biggest hobbies and interests of my life but unfortunately, there is no music offered as a subject in school. Since I not only want to keep my interests and skills but also develop them, I will make it my goal to learn, master and possibly interpret different music pieces and songs and take official lessons once a week. I would aim to learn and master at least 10 major pieces in a year, which seems challenging and yet practical enough for me to achieve. As a long term goal, I would like to work towards getting a diploma by taking exams.

I will also take part in MUN, which will help me to learn about different issues around the globe and improve mostly my speaking skills.


Action:
I will be taking a step out of my comfort zone and try something new and active: Tennis. I will take tennis lessons with my friend each week and my goals are to learn and apply new skills and concepts and be able to play a good match later on.

Service:
As a service activity at school, I joined the Alzheimer's Group which happens on Thursdays after school. Diseases, it has been one of my interests and I witnessed some patients and thier families who had been affected by diseases like Alzheimer's ands Parkinsons'. Thus, I have a sense of how tragic diseases of this sort can be which motivated me to join this group to learn more about issues regarding this disease and become part of the solution/help that will benefit those who have to suffer.

I also plan to do something outside the school, working for a local hospital/clinic on a regular basis. I always had passion/interest in this respect and I hope to be of some help and also learn different aspects that go around a hospital, where attempts to make peoples' lives better are made.
