Service:

Like last year, I am the leader for Housing and Habitat and going forward, our group aspires to create more opportunities for members of our service and the OSC community to offer infrastructural aid to people who need it, or projects that would benefit the school directly. Having planned and participated in the Home Run event last year we also have a better idea of how to efficiently set it up, and hopefully, this year will improve the event. By the end of this year, I want to have created a sustainable plan for our service through the establishment of relationships with people who can provide resources or people who we can help and an efficient way of generating and maintaining our group’s finances.

 

Action:

My main goal for this aspect of CAS is to participate in more athletic competitions and training sessions in order to improve my athletic and collaborative skills with a specific focus on SAISA volleyball and basketball. While the country’s situation somewhat inhibits travel, I still have the goal of landing an ariel in surfing before I graduate. In order to do so, I will petition to travel to the beaches more often and practice off-board exercises that would help me achieve the goal.

 

Creative:

During the last year, I have discovered a rekindled passion for cooking which I hope to develop for my goal, of creating a recipe book of maybe 20 with ingredients that can be easily sourced, mostly targeted toward college students. I will make it my own by adding a twist on recipes and adding my own pictures and steps.

Another creative goal is to learn how to play ukulele and bass guitar well enough to understand sheet music and play a couple of notes on each instrument effectively.

 

CAS Project:

This project is a mandatory part of the CAS program that enables students to pursue their own passions and projects. For my project I have a couple of ideas with one in place to start soon: a reading session with grade 2s which would not only educate but also establish bonds between grades and encourage more interactions between grades. A theoretical idea would be a trans-school volleyball tournament that features a round-robin competition style so that everyone could play everyone. This would be an event hosted at school and would be a collaboration between several students so we can provide snacks and fair teams. Alternatively, this could be an event with signups in school with the winner getting a portion of signup money and the rest going to fund a service group.
