Simply Scenes... :D 2-23-2011

As a part and requirement of our IB DP coarse I must take place in a play production in part with my drama class. I am in 2 different plays; Burried the Child and A Street Car Named Desire in which I play male characters whom are both confident and a bit of a pushover at times. Today we have our performance at 6:00pm in the auditorium. I am also taking part in a play with Tara Nelson in grade twelve where i play an elusive criminal whom cannot be brought to justice. In previous rehearsals it has been quite good and run smoothly without any mishaps in which I hope will carry over into my performance.

NEW SEMESTER!!! CAS

As for CAS fulfillments for this semester I will be taking part in Habitat for Humanity following my first semester of DAWG.

Goals:
1) Have fun
2)Go on as many builds as possible
3)Give as much input as I possibly can towards having a successful CAS

SAISA

I have just recently returned from SAISA(South Asia International Sports Association) Boys Football where we went to Dhaka, Bangladesh for the tournament. There were 10 teams from all over south asia and it was very competitive. Due to a variety of reasons, a few players on our team were cut so we were then forced to travel with the minimum, 12 players. We all avoided injury as much as we could but fatigue got the best of almost all of us and the games went on. We all played very well and i think that i also played exceptionally well taking into account that I am not primarily a football player. I found this to be a great experience and defiantly something I will look back on in the future as a positive as my time here at OSC.
FULFILLED GOAL #1

Week Without Walls

February 22, 2011
This year for WWW(Week Without Walls) the grade 11 class went down to Hambanota, South Sri Lanka where we took part in a variety of activities mainly involving community service involving an issue of global importance. Overall I found this Week Without Walls in particular to have been the most rewarding out of all of mine for this one was solely CAS (Community, Action and Service) orientated. The main thing that i found it to be the most rewarding was that of painting the school. These schools don't have much and neither do the people that attend the school and when we all saw how happy and thankful they were after we did no more than a little polish and paint; it was all worth it. I personally think that even painting is great, the real need at schools such as these are not paint jobs and cleaning, the children need school supplies where I think would benefit them much more than some paint. But aside the minor issues with the school and what view as their needs i found it to be a good WWW.
