Previously I had mention Project Valentine, and what they do. In case you need a reminder, they put gift bags together all throughout the year to give to Cancer patients during Chemo on Valentines Day. The bag is full of crafts, and miscellaneous stuff. I love this organization, and I want to make many types of crafts throughout the year for the bags. I also want to organize craft days where I teach people what I learned about the crafts and have them make them for the organization and for their CAS hours. Through this I want to work on two things;
1) Planning and Initiating Activities.
2) Developing New Skills.
As I had mentioned I want to organize crafts days for Project Valentine, to get others involved.
For developing new skills I plan on doing this through the crafts I make. I want to develop skills such as sewing and jewelry making. The crafts I want to make for Project Valentine are;

My Starting Goal; Action
For the Action part of CAS I want to work on my Taekwondo. I want to be a black belt by next summer. I am currently a blue belt, I am 3 away from black. While doing this I want to work on two goals.
1) Showing Perseverance and Commitment in Activities.
2) Increasing Awareness of Strengths and Areas for Growth.
Taekwondo is something I love, but I often have a hard time going as often as I should, and I really want to work at that because when I go I feel so great about my self. I want to make it a goal to go 3 times a week at the minimal.
Part of growing in Taekwondo spiritually and physically is to recognize what you are good at and what you could work on. That is what you makes you better is recognizing those things, and I feel that is important to know in order to grow. At this point I want to work on my balance when I do kicks, and work on my endurance. I feel that if I could work on those things then I would be ready to go.
Love,
Ciara

Ideals
SO i start CAS in about 2 days. And i want to describe the basic ideas I have.
Creativity should the easiest. I wanna take some more jewelry making classes and a cake decorating class. I mostly plan on combining my creativity with service through Project Valentine. I will discuss that more under service.
For Action I want to level up to the elite class in Taekwondo, and try yoga, or get back into weightlifting.
For Service I want to focus mainly on Project Valentine. All throughout the year people make gifts for this cause, and they put bags together to give to cancer patients who receive Chemo on Valentines Day. It is a great cause that anyone can do things for. Whatever other service opportunities come my way will shape that too.
I have to base my projects about learning about myself through the 8 learning outcomes, it will be a journey.
Here is a link to the Project Valentine Website; http://www.projectvalentine.org/

Keep Posted. And don't forget, any school project can be fun as long as you add your own twist.

CAS
I am staring to learn about CAS and this is wear I will post the process along with my reflections and pictures. I have many ideas. For creative I want to learn to paint some more or to cake decorating. I will also want to make things for Project Valentine. Action requires something to make your self healthy through movement. This is difficult for me but I want to learn to rock climb or continue my taekwondo. The last is S for Service, pretty self explanatory. I want to do this by working with project valentine.
