A Tough Pill to Swallow – SAISA Football ’24🫠

If I’m being honest, the pill is still not swallowed. SAISA Football this year was really, really emotionally tough on me. Here we go, an experience I’ll never forget, for the better or worse. Football is one of my favorite sports, if not my favorite. My dad, a passionate AS Roma supporter (he definitely needs…

Walk, Walk, Walk – WWW 2024🥾

It has officially been my last Week Without Walls (WWW). Before I get into it, I’d just like to give an appreciation to all the WWW experiences I’ve had, from grade 6 up to now. I still remember my 1st WWW in 6th grade, where we went to Kandy. I remember meeting the Vedda people…

COMUN-ity Service📦

Okay so I realized that I have made no COMUN posts – the creative aspect of my CAS blog. So here it is. MUN, which stands for Model United Nations, is a miniature version of UN debates, the UNGA and many more aspects that revolve around the UN. I have the honor of being part…

Big Losses😔

What a humbling experience this was. The day after our game vs CIS, we played our game vs Renown football academy. We played against their 18+ women’s team, which consisted of some military players as well. We got absolutely destroyed and demolished. The score was 8:0. In other words, we went from winning 8:0, to…

Big Wins🤩

So I’m not going to lie, DP, along with COMUN and SAISA training and just life in general have been a bit stressful lately. Thus, I am super late on my CAS blog entries. Like I just recently uploaded my entry on the DP science trip, which was in December. It is February now. Whatever,…

Rainy Research – DP Science Trip🌳

The Group 4 science trip is a requirement by the IB, in other words, there is no way out of it. Okay that sounds bad, I’m sorry and I was kidding. The trip is a nice requirement, and even though it was wet and damp and we were in full on leech territory, I learned…

Service Update, Reflection & 2024 Goals🧁

Service Update, Reflection & 2024 Goals Okay so I was looking at my CAS blog and realized that a lot of it has been about football (my activity), and I have not given a service update in … well since the first post. Since 2023, and the first semester of school is coming to an…

An Inspiration? As well as Starting the SAISA Season✨

An Inspiration: As the SAISA season is starting, I will no longer be able to continue doing the Kickerz sessions on Saturdays. This post is coming in quite late, I know, but that last session really meant a lot more to me than I thought it would’ve. As we were playing a game to end…

Football w/ Middle School Girls🥅

As the SAISA girls football season is fast approaching, my friend and I (we were captains of the football team last year) wanted to take some time and coach the middle school and MYP 4 girls. This season we really want to do everything we can to place in the top 3, and that definitely…

Unity & Diversity Day 2023 🌍

On October 6th, OSC celebrated its annual Unity & Diversity Day. Each student gets to dress up in their national attire and represent their country, as well as eat a ton of delicious food from all over the world (a multicultural buffet prepared by the parents). I always say I only come to Unity &…
