CAS on February Holidays

Creativity

For the creativity, I was playing my guitar in the usual tempo, which is three to four times a week. I also had a huge experience in playing the same song on different types of guitar, which include classical and acoustic guitar. I even tried the electric guitar, which I borrowed from my friend, however, I succeeded more on the classical one, which is also my favourite type.

Action

The action started difficultly for me because my previous boxing school moved to a different place, so I needed to spend more time on getting to it by car. However, I managed to do so. For the moment, I had the best experience of boxing in their new sports hall.

Service

Those holidays were very interesting for me in terms of service, as I managed to help janitors from the local cleaning company to clean the snow in our district.

Service. On a School Trip

On the recent weekends, I traveled to Milan city in Italy with the school. It was an entertaining trip, where we could visit interesting places, for example, the Milan Cathedral, do some shopping or have a lunch at a nice Italian restaurant. Despite this fact, I was still helping St. George’s Boarding Parents and Stuff with younger students. I would like to thank the Boarding Office for providing me with this opportunity.

Service. Student Council Halloween Sale

Today, I was helping Student Council during the Halloween Sale, where I was selling different food to students and teachers. Although it took the whole evening, I was not tired and I really enjoyed helping and participating in the sale. I would like to thank everybody in the Student Council for organizing this event and giving me the opportunity to work not only as a monitor but also as a Student Council member in this school.

Creativity. Guitar

On this week I started to learn a new beautiful melody on the guitar called “Falling in love with you” by Elvis Presley. I really enjoy playing it, although it is not the hardest song that I tried to play from the start of my guitar training. I personally find it very calm and pleasant and I think that it is a great song to diversify my repertoire.

Service. Monitor Duty Blog №1

Today I had a nice duty outside on the sports field. I also wanted to prepare for my physics test, so I decided to combine this work. I was sitting at the table near the old school building, where there is a perfect view to monitor the outside area of my duty.

Service. Monitor start

This new academic year started with some minor changes in my CAS program. First of all I became a part of the school’s monitor community and I would now be helping the stuff and other students on the school life. I already served a week as a monitor and I really look forward to this with the great excitement. I hope that my service would help to improve the school life.

Summer Action. Playing tennis

The CAS action part of the summer 2017 also included a one hour tennis lesson 6 times per week during a long period of time in July and August. It is my third year in tennis and I could surely say that I made progress over those years. I had a tennis coach, who taught me new skills and made sure that I play correctly. I warmed up before very training with the morning run on the coast, then I ate, two hours before the training and went to it. This was firstly a tuff program for me, but I managed to do it and I was later been able to follow it without any problems after the first week of training. 

So on the scale from 1 to 5, the tennis lessons for this summer have a score of 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 out of five tennis balls.

The summer of 2017 is a great summer, you just want to lie on the beach and have a rest, however it is important not to forget about your CAS project and I am looking forward coming back to school to continue it.

Summer Action. Tennis program

I addition to my regular action activities, which are boxing, running and gym. I also added tennis. It is my third year as a tennis player and I look forward to improve my skills in this sport. My motivation for it was always around the fact that it uses all groups of muscles and increases endurance that I personally really like this, as I am doing boxing in which those abilities would not be extra.
