Varsity Basketball Friendly Game End November CAS (2)

cheche22Leave a comment

We played two games in the final two weeks of November, the first game is against TaiZu, a Division 1 Middle School team, it was a really close game, the final score was 51-55, what I learned from this experience is that I need to communicate more with my teammates, and put extra effort on defense. The team was really quiet in our first game, so we need to encourage everyone to communicate with each other more and make the team start functioning again.

In our second game against HsinChuang D2 Highschool, the varsity team only played first half, , then Junior Varsity will also join this friendly game. I still find myself too quiet in this game, sometimes I’m afraid to take control of the ball, I must overcome this fear, I always fear being embarrassed by the opposing team in front of the crowd, I believe as I play more games, I will have better mental toughness.

Charity Art Club Winter Sale CAS End November Reflection

cheche22Leave a comment

For the last two weeks, I have been preparing for our CAC’s Winter Sale on 11/28, this time I applied a lot of things I learned from last time, for example, I distributed the jobs very clearly to all the executives, with exact things they needed to do, and I also gave exact job descriptions to all the helpers during that day. The event went really well and it was a major improvement compared to the tote bags event, all the executives worked really hard and we all had the same goal together, it was a really good experience working with them because every one of them spent a lot of time on this despite having a lot of homework.

All the hardwork and preparations was worth it, we made 11480 NTD in 4 hours sale, our pins and stickers received a lot of good feedback, because this time we decided to use the best quality customizing company on both pins and stickers, we still have 200-300 stickers and some pins, they will be put on our upcoming CAC’s website which is still under construction, and we will select 100 stickers to give it to Orphanage Club, one of CAC’s collaboration partner, for the rest, we will put them in our next sale, which will happen outside of school.

We will donate 50% of our profit to HonDao Senior Citizen Welfare Foundation.

Creativity and Service

Charity Art Club Winter Sale Poster

Yujinia and I designed this poster for the upcoming Charity Art Club Winter Sale on 11/28, we will be donating all profits to HonDao Seniors Citizens Welfare Foundation, I want to donate to HonDao this time because I’ve been focusing on Taiwan’s elderly population issues and their life quality since 10th grade in my Personal Project. I connected with a volunteer at HonDao, I call her 玲姐 Mrs.Ling  (Below is our group photo lol. Left:Yujinia, Mid: Mrs.Ling, Right: Me) She dedicated the majority of her retirement days to Charity, she served in Drug Control Center, Jail, Senior Citizens Foundation, Orphanage center, and many more.

 

On 11/28, We will be hosting a winter sale, we will be mainly selling stickers and pins, further update will be in the next CAS reflection, the event requires short term planning, the document below is the Planning Document of our Winter Sale, for the planning, I believe it improves my ability on how to initiate plans, for example, I had to distribute jobs for the executives and gave them specific deadline. I also had to make certain decision with the executives such as the price of the stickers and pins. This time, the event has a better flow than last time, one thing we can still improve on is how to increase member’s engagement, and how to make members and executives want to contribute on their own instead of being asked to. I’m also aiming to make a working system for the executives to make everything more organized –> I believe I will have a more clear system by the end of November.

 

Activity

Yay, I made it to Basketball Varsity, for tryout, coach 謝玉娟 and I-SHOU University Players came to coach us, the tryout and practice was a new experience, and we were really honored to be coached by them, usually I could only see them on TV. The Tryout was three consecutive days, the exhaustion added up every day. And after that, we had to do our homework and prepare for summative, but I would say the morning basketball session I previously did helped me a little, since I woke up at around 4:30 – 5 during basketball session, I was used to waking up early from a mental aspect. So this time, I would sleep as soon as I got home, about 6-7 and wake up at around 3 to finish my homework. I realized doing homework in the morning is actually more productive, I barely spend anytime on my phone, because I knew that assignment is about to be turned in in 3-4 hours, unfortunately, I still missed few assignments, because it was hard to deeply concentrate for 4 straight hours. Through this tryout, I learned how to manage my time wisely based on the situation.

For practice, we have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, it’s also tiring but I don’t feel sleepy anymore when I went home. It’s still tough for me mentally, because you have to switch to study mode right after exercising, but I’m still learning.
