I can't believe that I'm almost done with CAS, it's sad and relieved at the same time. I'm sad that this class is almost over because through CAS I have learned many things about myself and it has been the way that I have gotten outside my comfort zone and gone out into the community and help different causes that I'm passionate about. I have learned how the "real world" work and it's fun but also very challenging because you don't have your parents or teachers to help you out it's just you. Of course during CAS we do get a lot of help from Miss Amy and other community members but it still gives you a good view of how things work.
I'm very glad that I found a final project to do because one of my problems is that I love to help and if I could I would do so many different things, which is why I struggles so much last year because I had 2 project at the same time during the first and last trimester and I was kind of lost during the second trimester. I enjoy my final project because it's very personal and that is my motivation. Just knowing that I can give this amazing opportunity to others students makes my day.
One of the things that motivates me more is Denis, because before I didn't know who the students were going to be I already had in mind 3 people and I was excited but not as much because these students have had opportunities to travel and explore their passions but Denis hasn't had that yet and when Miss Kellie told me that I should open it to 9th grade because he might be interest in participating I knew that my project would take a different direction but I wanted to because I knew that it would be a lot to him. I knew him before because he is my advisory but since he has been part of my CAS project I have gotten to know him more just seeing the excitement and smile in his face reassures me that this is the right thing to do, I could not be doing something better. At the same time I wished I had a better connection with Camille as well because she is also one of the students that is going but I don't have to work with her as much because she already has very to travel a and this is something normal for her. But even though people say I'm crazy when I say this I think that they are a good combination. I hope that both of them get to know each other more, Camille doesn't talk much around people that she isn't close to and Denis is shy at first but he loves to talk and he is very entertaining so I'm really looking forward to seeing how things go for the both of them.
In order to get where I am not I had a lot of motivation just self motivation telling myself "come on you can do it you know you love CAS, it's much more fun than doing homework" or "remember CAS is your opportunity to shine! You can help others, learn about the "real world"and also get grade for it!"or "CAS time, that means planing and events, you know you love to plan things!". Also I knew that I wanted to something big and I did do something big that I'm very proud of myself because I don't give up until I get what I want. It's been a hard and long journey but every time I do something different I learn something new and I enjoy learning and helping others. I know that I will miss CAS, but I will also feel relieved that I won't have as much work. But one of the things that I learned from CAS was that I can't keep myself not busy and I will always find a way to help others because it's what I love to do, it makes me happy and I will always carry the concept of CAS with me for the rest of my life.
