sports day and cibubur field trip...

may i just say that the sports day and the field trip at cibubur were totally great? and i also had some cas hours so that's totally awesome... here are some of my reflections during the trips:

1. sports day: sports day was really fun, besides interacting and getting to know a lot of people, there are cas hours to be done so that was cool. me, tara and aakriti were supposed to help the clinic, making sure that the doctor wouldn't get too much difficulties in helping the injured people (turns out that she doesn't have any problem at all!).

2. cibubur field trip: since at the cibubur field trip i was supposed to play volley, but it turns out that my name wasn't there, so i decided to fill my time with doing something meaningful... like COLLECTING TRASH! so me and friends we looked around the area and collected the different sizes and trashes around! to tell you the truth, it was somehow a lot of fun.

these activities are some activities that i haven't really done before so it's really nice for me to get some experience with these kind of activities. i could've have done more effort in collecting the trash though since my trash bag is not all that full with trash. however, i believe that even though i didn't collect as much trash as my friends did, i must've done a favor for the people who are in charge of keeping the certain area clean. so what i did must've affected others around me and also myself. something good of course! :)

cibubur N sports dae!!

this field trip was an awesome experience.... this activity was completely a new role for me. through these activities i learnt to develop a better civic sense. these efforts of mine led to a better environmnent and living conditions. All the CAS students made sure that the place was cleared of and tidy up by collecting all the trash scattered there by the visiting school teams and other people.... i really had great fun doing it... all of us were roaming here and there carrying big black plastic bags... i was reasonably successful in my endeavour. it was difficult to educate people to not to litter the ground. i realised my hidden capability of steering myself and others to work towards betterment of living conditions. i developed patience and the ability to get my use across to my fellow beings. the talk of the present time of realising pollution free environment may be achieved through these kind of indigenous efforts only. nothing can be achieved by continuously shifting the blame for the same from one person or institution to the other. the strength of a fist far exceeds that of a single finger. lets come together in this endeavour and prove our might.

CAS Guiding Questions

How!

Here's a big THANK YOU[!] to all those who have posted their reflections on this blog (where are the others??). It is good reading and I wish more of you would 'comment' on each other's posts to generate CAS-oriented discussions.

Listed below are some guidelines [taken from the CAS/AEF] that appear in your horribly-green CAS forms , posted here so that you may refer to them while blogging to keep the focus clearly on the purpose behind the effort:

When blogging about your CAS activity,

• Summarise what you did in the activity and state how you interacted with others.
  
• Explain what you hoped to accomplish [in some detail].
• Were you successful? If yes, explain how. If not, explain why.
• Write about the difficulties you faced and what you did about them.
• Think about and state what you learnt about yourself. About others. [We're talking about "values" and "attitudes" here.]
• If anyone helped you, mention the kind of help rendered and why help was required in the first place.
• Dwell on how your efforts in this activity benefited others.
• Would you do something differently the next time to improve?
  
• How can you apply what you have learned in other 'life' situations?

If you keep these guidelines while blogging, you'd be doing a great job!

Here's hoping to read more posts,

How!
