Activity Short Description:

Every month, I will prepare a meal for my family. These meals will be different every time, and the meals will be hard to cook; that way I will become a good cook.

Personal Goal for the Activity:

I will try to improve my cooking skills so that I can become more self-sufficient when I leave off to college. By preparing hard to make recipes, I will learn new skills in order to have successful results. I will know if I have achieved my objectives if I cook consistently and if my family enjoys the food.

Anticipated Learning Outcomes:

2. Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process:

The biggest challenge I face with this activity is that I do not have many skills in order to cook a tasty meal, and I will have to develop new cooking skills in order to prepare tasty meals.

4. Show commitment to and perserverance in CAS experiences:

This will be one of the longest-lasting activities I will complete in the two-year course. In order to complete it, no excuses are accepted, and food must be prepared every month.

Spring Break 2018

For Spring Break 2018, just befre IB exams, my family and I went of a skiing trip to Baqueira. I personally have not gone skiing for more than 2 years, mainly due to constant basketball games and studying. I am very excited to ski again since it is a sport I really enjoy practicing, specially with the good weather that is forecasted.

During this trip, I skiied for four days with my family. We tried to ski as much as possible so we barely stopped for eating. The weather was fantastic and I was physically feeling great. I felt as if there was nothing that I could not ski, as if I would never fall. Funny enough, during the last descent of our trip, we braking, I yawned and fell to the ground where I lay for a long time until my parents arrived. I was such a great sensation to be laying down in the snow after 4 days of physical exertion. I am very happy to having gone to this trip, and I am sure to repeat skiing next year as soon as the snowing season starts.
