Wow.. what an interesting 2 years it has been. To say this global pandemic was unexpected is an understatement. I never imagined my last two years of high school would be spent mostly online, but I have learned and grown so much from this experience, and I continue to do so. Ever since March of […]
CAS PROJECT- GECKO INC.
After long periods of thought on what my CAS project should be, I, alongside my fellow service leaders, decided to base it on our service group (Gecko Inc.). As mentioned in previous posts, I am one of three service leaders of the Gecko Inc. service group, which aims to teach younger kids from local schools […]

CMB FASHION WEEK
Having officially been out of quarantine for a couple of months now, and having been in face-to-face school for 3 weeks, life seems to be returning, to some extent, back to normal. This implies that I’m able to not only socialize more often with friends, but I’m also more prone to go out on the […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 8: ART. ART. ART. 2.0
And we’re back. Yet another semester of studying from home. At this point, zoom classes have become routine, and I, just as everyone else around the world, have had to adjust our routines to this ‘new normal’. Although exercise has been one of the largest shifts in my daily routine, my most important change has […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 7: A NEW FORM OF EXCERCISE
This second round of ‘quarantining’ has definitely been different for me than the first time at the start of March, the reason being that I am now more accustomed to the routine of studying from home and practically doing everything there. However, this is not to undermine any of the struggles that I have been, […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 6: ART. ART. ART.
If there’s one benefit to staying at home, the creativity it initiates within me is definitely one of them, as it results in the creation of multiple art pieces. Spending my break times from zoom scrolling through Pinterest, Instagram, and Artsy trying to find inspiration for new art pieces has become an addiction of mine. […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 5: HERE WE GO AGAIN
Here we go again… school is online and we’re at home, what’s new? After almost 8 months of Covid-19 taking over our lives, we find ourselves in a similar scenario of having to go back into quarantine. To be honest, the first time this happened, back in March, it was somewhat exciting; having to stay […]
DP2 CAS GOALS
CAS is an essential component of the DP program, and, in my eyes, heightens our knowledge on topics other than academic-based ones. However, CAS is definitely going to look different this year, due to the ongoing pandemic. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can do with regards to creativity, activity, and service, it […]
IMPACT: ONLINE SEMINAR 2020
Initially, my plans for this summer included traveling to Washington D.C and attending a summer program at Georgetown with a focus on Entrepreneurship and Business. However, that clearly didn’t end up happening, and I then had to think of other ways to still continue to learn throughout the summer. This is when I decided to […]
SANTANI ART RETREAT
Although this summer didn’t turn out as we all would’ve expected, there are many new things that I got to experience that I wouldn’t have otherwise, this art retreat being one of them. For me, art has been one of the main factors contributing to my happiness throughout these tough times, except for my family […]
