Investigation part 2

School
School is very important to me and I try to do my best because in the end it will affect my future. The better my grades will be, the more choices will be open for me. I think school is important for the future, but grades do not really show how intelligent you are. They only show that you are good at school. Most successful people we know today were horrible or even dropped out of school. I am not planning on dropping out of school, but I think grades don’t show how intelligent people are. Of course the better grades are, the more choices for colleges are open and therefore the more future choices you have.

Volunteer work

Sweep up day
This was a day where we just swept up the soccer field and removed stones and other obstacles. It was a whole lot of hard work and there were about 50 people helping. It took as about 5 hours to clean the whole field. It was on this day where I learnt that I do not want to work this hard all my life to earn money. I want to have a future where I have to think. I did it voluntary and earned CAS hours for it.

Clean up day
Clean up day is a day where we as a school community go somewhere, such as a riverbed and clean up this area. This day was a day where we really got dirty and cleaned up. Personally I wouldn’t have done it, but fortunately I was forced to do it. I think it taught me a lot about how our community can help others and the place actually looked clean for week after our clean up.

Talent show
This was completely voluntarily. At the talent show I performed with three others and danced for a crowd. During our practices we went through phases of loving and hating each other, but in the end we had a great performance and had a really fun night. I collected a lot of experience about cooperating with people and having to deal with people. I don’t really see entertaining people as something I want to do in the future.

School play
For the school play I was part of the back stage team, but to be honest I feel really bad for not being consistent and staying in. I didn’t learn a lot about being at the back of a stage, but I learnt about how being inconsistent and unreliability can affect others badly. I felt really guilty after this experience. I think I learnt a lot about being reliable and taking consequences.

Although I have done many other things that weren’t volunteer work, but still gave me a lot of experiences such as babysitting. I love children and am responsible. I have learnt a lot about children and I don’t really see it as something I would do my whole life.
