Hello Again !
Now , I will be telling about each part of CAS more detailly and how my feelings changed since the begining of doing them . I will also tell about my CAS project. In my next post you will see photos me doing these activities. :)
Creativity:
I have been on the Echo
music group since the begining of
2015-2016 instruction year . I choosed that club because I love singing and
creating some songs by myself. As a group, we performed in some concerts
through the year . Other than singing in the school’s music group, I also sing
in a group of two in which we make our
own covers of some jazz and pop songs .
When I first started singing a bit professionally
it was 2013 and it was right
after me taking some courses to learn how to flex the muscles to sing and how to make my voice clear. Since then I have developped a lot , for
example now I can apply the education
that I got to sing in opera style to jazz songs create my own style. I am very
happy to be singing but I will continue to do it in my minor group , since I am
also interested in science . This year as the creativity part of my CAS , I
will take place in the science magazine and the radio channel that my class
mates created.
Activity:
I have been doing Zumba
fort he activity part of my CAS . When I
first started dancing , I was not really
god at it and I was not really able to
catch every movement that the Zin did. Now , I am better at it and I love
dancing. That makes me feel better
and and it takes me out of the caos of
the world , by making me think of the next movement only while enjoying the
song that plays on the background. I am
glad to be doing Zumba as my activity. I also do some Yoga but I am
not as active on Yoga classes as I am in Zumba classes because of my intense
academic schedule. With Yoga , I found out that the true meaning of yoga is more spriritiual than
physical.
Service :
For the Service part of my CAS , I do a lot of activities.
The reason is that I have been doing all those activities even before I
satarted the IB program. I cary books to a village for children to read once in
two weeks and I teach English to
children aged 7-10 twice a week. I visit
the nursing home in different time
periods and we paint the village school
that we took the books twice a year . Also ,
before I started IB, I made a Project in which we as the students repaired the roof of the
village school by ourselves. When I first started doing these activities , I
was very happy to be helping people around and I stil am . I have not lost my
excitement and happiness to help since the begining of my fisrt community
service.
CAS Project:
Me and
classmate of mine started a Project in which we were going to hold a
conference in our school. The conference is called the European Youth
Parliament and students all around Turkey attended to the conference. The
students discussed some actual problems
and foundsolutions which were afterwards
written in formal formats to be send to the Turkish Parliament if
needed. Global problems like Syrian Refugees were among the problems that were
choosen to be discussed. I was the head organizer of the conference and I arranged the hotels,
arrivements and attendances of 300 students
along with thinking of the
disscuion topics. With two other friends we made it happen and the conference
was held in the late March succesfully. The process took about 6 months and
included meetings with school’s principle and other people that were to attend as chairs and conference president/vice
president.
I am happy for making it possible to discuss and solve
the actual problems of Turkey and World.
