Over the past two years of my DP journey, the CAS program has provided an exciting, self-encompassing self-awareness, and collaborative experience. By reflecting to my first CAS goals I can determine my growth and what I have learned through the IB learning outcomes. LO 1: Identifying Strengths + Develop Areas for personal growth. LO 2: […]
Swim-a-thon for The Children of Gaza
Given the mounting situation in Gaza, me and Akash saw the critical need for immediate assistance, particularly for children whose access to basic essentials such as food, water, and medical care has been severely limited. As a result, me and my fellow service leader Akash decided to organize a swim-a-thon fundraiser in favor of Save […]

A Disappointing Final SAISA Basketball
This year’s SAISA basketball was a disappointing one. Despite this, I had an incredible time with my teammates and friends on and off the court and had experiences to remember for years to come and look back on. This year SAISA basketball was hosted at ACS, the American Community School in Amman, Jordan. It was […]

Improvement Needed.
On Friday 15th our boy’s volleyball team played our 3rd game of the season against Arauvala Dharmapala College.

2023-2024 Goals
As my final year of high school begins, I am flooded with a different array of emotions; stress, nostalgia, excitement, and regrets. I can’t help feeling all of these different emotions, but I am just taking every day as it comes, as it is my last year. Going into this year, there are several goals […]
SAISA Football 2023
This year’s SAISA football was something that I was not prepared for. Coming back from SAISA basketball I fractured my ankle at the tournament. This was a difficult time for me. Often, I am able to do and play sports freely without having to worry about injuries and other problems. However, with that injury, it […]
