La Manuelita - Retirement Homw

This project was valuable for me because I wanted to help people who are very alone in their old age. I think people who have lived much longer than I have, have a wisdom beyond anything I could possibly strive for right now and I wanted to learn from them. Visiting the old people at the retirement home was a truly touching experience. These men and women are completely alone in their old age because their families are unable, or unwilling, to care for them. They spend their days in the retirement home and they seldom receive visitors. The joy that was visible on their faces when we visited them warmed my heart and made me really glad that we were able to keep them company for a while and to help them have a good time.

Yearbook Committee

This project was valuable for me because I think the yearbook is a very important part of student life, so I wanted to be a part of it. I was able to develop new skills and to improve my group-work skills. I was able to learn how a yearbook is made from start to finish. I enjoyed my time in the yearbook a lot. It taught me how to work in a team and it taught me how to work under the pressure of a deadline. There were some issues with the yearbook but they were easy to resolve and they taught me problem management.

CGB's Talent Show

Talent Show

This project was valuable for me because I got to learn from a new perspective. I normally don’t participate in talent shows because I’m shy, and when I do I’m normally on stage and not behind the logistics of the event. It was useful for me to see the talent show in a different perspective and I learnt new skills in management and planing. It was very rewarding to see everyone participating in the talent show which so much enthusiasm, and most of the cats were incredible.

Research Project

This project was valuable for me because it helped me get involved in my community. It helped me understand what was going on in the school and how it would benefit or affect us as a student body. My research into the construction of the new building proved to be a valuable investigation as it gave me insight into how the school was growing and how that growth would benefit us as a student body.

Danza Consciente - Conscious Dance

There is no way to explain this. It is not an activity that makes sense at a logical level, it can only be felt with the soul. This class makes my whole week; I may be feeling sick, tiered, frustrated  sad, or any other negative mood and this class makes me feel better. It's like a shot of pure energy, a mystical medicine that cures all ailments of the body and soul. It mixes dancing with art, yoga, theatre, and religion. Taking this classes is one of the best decisions of my life.
