One of CAS objectives is t to in enables students to learn via experience to improve their personal and interpersonal growth. We are encouraged to plan activities and events, along with given the opportunity to deepen our interests. 

This helped me stay active and engage in my personal interests as it encouraged me to make time for the things important to me. In addition it allowed me to leave my comfort zone and motivated me to organize and help people in need. 

I feared that I will have to stop dancing after I went to high school as I will not have time, however CAS showed me that if I put my mind to it I can make time for everything. When it comes to the creativity I started with cooking as it was a minor interest which I did often, as nayway I had to eat, however during this time I developed a knew interest of sowing and designing and writing about it every month encouraged me to continue as i saw evidence of improvement. 

When the war i Ukraine started I tried with all my heart to help them as much as possible as I have many friends there, not only did me and my friends collected things needed and encouraged our peers to help, but I also did every thing i could to help my mothers friend pick up her childern form a war zone. I would have done all those things even if a didn’t have to do it to pass my CAS blog check. But what I find amazing about it is that everyone feels encouraged to help those in need, and even if they do it for CAS tehy help make the world a better place.

Ukarine and Russian have been at war for a couple of days now and there are more and more families who need help and are lacking necessary products, I try to help as much as i can in this matter so as my CAS project me and a couple of friends organised a food and necessary hygiene products collection, for Ukrainian families. 

We announced the collection to the whole school including teachers and families in hopes that everyone will chip in. And our hopes came true, all the necessary thing we asked for where collected and more. We took the products to several organizations in the morning at the end of the week. One the day before the collection was due to end I got a call about a desperate need for sleeping bags, so I tried everything I could to get as much as possible and no one was reacting to my messeges, however to my surprise after arriving to school the next morning the needed sleeping bags where waiting for me at the door.

CREATIVITY

Unfortunately I was unable to sew any new items this week however I I was able to take some time to draw some future projects, although for the time being I don't believe I have the skills to make these sets, so I have to take some time and learn more, however for now I'll stick to drawing them and maybe in the future i will have the skill necessary for those projects.
