End of semester

                                                      END OF THE YEAR 
So, now we come to end of the year reflection. I had very good 2 year of IB in OSC. I learnt lots of things and lots of different skills like communication, collaboration, engaging and so on. In these 2 year of period we had 2-3 trips to different places in Sri Lanka. First we went to IB orientation trip which was in starting of 11 grade, in that trip we had lot of fun and we had a good chance there to know about ourselves. After that we had a geography trip this is for the IA but it's kind of like a week without for Geo class for me. But i did work too and fun obviously. So, by these two trips i learnt about the how communication connects people from each other and how engaging in the activity or be the part of that activity affect you.

As i posted in previous posts in this blog we have different after school activity in our school. And in the part of CAS we have to do 1 activity so in starting of 11 grade i decided to teach cricket to small graders kids like from 4-8 and i did this and i accomplished my all goals. I taught them properly and after my teaching when i saw them playing cricket they are doing very well which shows my teaching skills and which also shows my hard work. And i was the leader of that activity so, I have more responsibility to take care of them and teach them properly and etc. In 12 grade in the first semester i did the same thing but in second semester i decided to do the Saisa badminton because i really wanted to go in that. In Saisa all the american school from different Asian countries they  meet at one place and they had a tournament. I did lots of practice and i beat so many players to get in the team and I am in the team of 8 players. By doing these two activities it shows the capability and the stamina in me. Badminton is the game of communication, I am very good in communication and also in team work. without these two things We can't play or win the matches.

In CAS this is the program which connects you with everything environmentally , globally, communication, engaging etc. In this programe we have to chose one creativity, action which is any sports and one service. in Service last year i did RCCI which is good service and which connects you globally and which helps you to meet new disabled people and shoe some feelings for them. With the help of communication and other aspects i did this service. In this service communication is the hard thing and other thing is to manage them. because they don;t know what is going on and we can't communicate properly with them so this is the challenging thing for me. But in 12 grade i decided to do the SOS which look after the orphanage children's. From there organization small kids comes to our school and we spent our sometime with them and we teach thme english and play games with them and we engage them into some other things so that they don't feel bad. We had a swimming session in this activity and we also had outdoor sports session like football, cricket etc. From this sevice i learnt so many things like communication, engaging, how feelings are connected to each other and for making people happy is the hard thing in the world which we did in this activity.

In creativity I the starting of the 11 grade I learnt guitar and I had a teacher who teaches me guitar. I learnt so many musics how to play that and i learnt the basic stuff first so that it will be easy for me to play anything. But learning the string and remembering the stings in guitar is so challenging for me. But it was fun to play with the instrument and form some new and creative sound. I achieved every goals that i set in the starting of the activity,after sometime when i used to with the guitar i also started remembering strings and i achieved my all goals. In 12grade  I started doing wildlife photography and i set goals for that also in the starting of the this activity. In this activity we learnt about different camers and the functioning of the camera. how we can take different shot from different angles and what functions from the camera we can use and etc. we had one trip to some lake but unfortunately i wouldn't go there because i had exams in that week so. I achived all goals in this i already know littlebit aout camera but not all camera. So i learnt that. and I also clicked 3 pictures which you can see in my blog in photography post.

So, now we done with all our activity which I am going to miss and i learnt so many things from these activity and service and actually these are really helpful for me in future too.
