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 which was hard at times as I am often forgetful. Committing to this activity would help with my ability to maintain a household in the future. I also decided to do gardening as there is a lot of deforestation going on in the world and I wanted to help contribute to the world by planting trees and plants of my own. This was a environmentally-friendly activity. I recognize the ethics of my actions as I believed that gardening would help the environment a little bit and that what I was doing was not wrong but was a good thing.

However, what I need to develop is the range of emotions for each character as there are 3 exams so that I do not end up having the same emotion in each monologue. (LO2) Another challenge was the knowledge section of the exam where we had to choose a practitioner to learn about and be tested on. I chose Constantin Stanislavski as I remembered his acting techniques from researching about him during my Igcses. The lamda examiner questioned me about how Stanislavski turned realism to naturalism withn acting and what were his teachings. (LO3) The perseverance part was the hardest as I would struggle to split my time between homework, school work and revision that I usually do during my free periods that would be re...
