Chinese New Year Dance - Activity

 (LO1) I have performed quite a few dances before in school but I have never performed a hip-hop fast beat song as I never thought I would be capable of doing the dance properly and correctly. Now that I have actually rehearsed it and performed it, I have discovered that I am capable of dancing hip-hop if I actually try to and put in effort. (LO2) The challenge was having to learn the dance moves within a short amount of time, me and Panittha only had 2 hours with Nokweed to learn the dance so we had to rehearse separately on our own whenever we could. Especially since it was a fast song it was challenging to make sure that we do not miss a beat. (LO3) Working with Panittha to rehearse the dance choreography ourselves made it a lot easier because we would both help each other with the parts that we are certain of and whichever part one of us was unsure of how to do it or couldn't do it fast enough, we would practice it over and over again until we knew how to do it. (LO4) I have massive stage fright when it comes to not dancing in a group, at first there was suppose to be 2 other people dancing with us but they couldn't remember the choreography so they pulled out of the dance last minute. I felt very anxious to be dancing it alone with Panittha so I wanted to remove myself from the dance as well but my best friend Nokweed has worked very hard with this dance. So I decided that I made a commitment to her in the beginning and a promise that I would do this dance so I went through with it. (LO5) It was ethical of me to not pull out of the dance last minute because it would have been inconvenient for my friend and Panittha would've had to dance alone. So, we decided to conquer our fear of performing a dance without a large group of people, I felt really great after it and would most likely do it again.

Gardening - Activity

As a kid I would water my plants by myself every weekend and would try to grow plants but they would always end up dying because I was not home a lot. I figured I would start trying to garden again after planting flowers in the Alps during the summer. The development in my personal growth is that I am able to take care of a living thing and be responsible for it. The challenges were that I did not anticipate to what point plants required extreme attention and care. Where it dies just as easily as it grows which was scary. The new skills I developed was the ability to pay attention to minor details and the fact that I was planting multiple plants made it more challenging as I had to make sure I could split my attention between these plants. The commitment was to water them everyday and it was quite hard as I would be constantly worried about my plants if I am coming home late so if I am going to the gym or leaving the house somewhere I need to make sure I water my plants first w...

Teaching my friend Spanish - Service

My strength was the fact that I have been studying Spanish for over 8 years so I am quite good in terms of reading and writing. However, the areas that I can develop for my personal growth  would be my grammar skills and tenses, which I figured I could practice and revise while teaching my friend as I would need to review all the tenses and understand them thoroughly to be able to explain them easily to my friend. It was a great challenge and made me feel like a risk taker as teaching a language that is not my native language is quite hard as I would need to revise and work just as hard to understand what I would be teaching. The new skills I developed in the process would be better grammar as well as better understanding on the writing section in Spanish as at times, the different tenses would be very challenging for me. This service required a lot of commitment as sometimes I would find it too hard to continue teaching my friend as it was quite time consuming to not on...

STEM Day Haunted House - Activity/Service

(LO1) Many challenges were undertaken in this activity as we had to make sure that our timing was good so that we could properly scare the students and make sure we were not seen. The skills that I developed was better planning in terms of making sure the assembly was set up properly to make it appear as a haunted house and fix the lighting as well. (LO2) Initiating and planning this activity was not that tough as the teacher was very helpful in providing us with the materials we needed. For the planning, my friends were always there to make sure we knew our roles in this activity. (LO3) Working collaboratively ensured that everything ran smoothly and that there were no issues regarding the activities as there were several groups of students that came to do the math challenges we had prepared for them in the haunted house. (LO4) The issue that rose up was that due to the math challenges, a lot of water had spilled around the tables and on the floor, making us worry that it may b...
