It was one\u00a0such activity where I had learned so much, I over came so many of my fears, and I saw so much of\u00a0change in me in way of managing. Additionally, this activity was solely done with our efforts, we\u00a0were not depended on anyone, the teachers or our parents or any adults but it was thought by us\u00a0planned by us worked by us. And this activity really makes me feel proud of me.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that I have learned from CAS is how to manage my time and work from my\u00a0heart for one of\u00a0the IB components that does not even gives me points. Jokes apart, the one thing that I have\u00a0definitely learned is that I have a global significance and that I need to work on my skills and use\u00a0them to make the\u00a0world a better place. The one thing about CAS that I loved is writing the\u00a0reflections, even\u00a0though they were a tedious task to fulfill, for me, they act as treasure because when one day I will\u00a0reread my reflections it would act as motivators to me to further work like that. These reflections\u00a0have helped to know the true me- a risk-taker, thinker, communicator, principled, caring,\u00a0knowledgeable and balanced inquirer that has learned to think open-mindedly.<\/p>\n<p>CAS has not only gave me some lifetime memorable memories but it has also given me the platform\u00a0of understanding and growing my inner strength, to know what I could do with all the abilities that I\u00a0have with me; even if, I don\u2019t help others with my abilities I could surely use them for my personal\u00a0growth. One major skill that I improved with doing CAS was know how to work with people and\u00a0learned to bring people together for a\u00a0better cause and to manage better. Even if I was not able to\u00a0bring people together at times, it helped me become better analyzers, to try and find other\u00a0alternative solutions when there are none left. These helped me to learn how to help me when no\u00a0one could help me. (I know it was confusing but try and understand!)<\/p>\n<p>The learning outcome that was most difficult for me to achieve was to see how things made sense\u00a0globally and that there were ethical considerations. However, the easiest one or rather the one that\u00a0I achieved without conscious efforts was to show commitment towards any activity however boring\u00a0it was or could have been.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the whole journey of CAS and I would love to take the opportunity of doing such activities\u00a0given my way, even latter in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever I say the word CAS, The first thing that comes to my mind is my group project.
