My name is Henry, a current Junior studying at Kaohsiung American School. Simple and steady, the ideal way I am always seeking for in life. Instead of relaxing at home all day, I am the type of person that likes to fill my schedule with a variety of different things that I enjoy and interested in. Here is my profile for the CAS.
For me, I have greater enthusiasm for sport and music which they count as major parts in that variety of things. By filling my schedule with a substantial amount of things to do, I put time management as an essential concept in my daily life. I like to plan things ahead of time in order to result in great efficiency. It gives me a sense of confidence that I have the time to accomplish the works that have to be done. Everyone only owns 24 hours per day, therefore, it is necessary to manage my time more wisely so I will be able to have the chance to accomplish things that I have been wanting to do it in my life. A life full of excitement is one of my desire but sometimes things just won’t go that well and time just will not stop for you. Thus, time management becomes a crucial life skill for me and master it will be one of the ultimate goals that I wish to achieve before graduating from high school.
Creativity is a complex and abstract element that I have been working on especially in high school. I am interested in putting creativity into art especially in music. Music is able to create lots of unique things and variations that are totally different from others. I think I still have a lot to work on with creativity since it is so abstract that no one has a perfect answer for it.
As I mentioned above, the enthusiasm for sport and music are a major part that greatly influences my life for years now. I believe these 2 elements help me have a stronger fundamental in the activity category. These 2 things are the main factors that keep my life going with endless excitement and keep me motivated when I am low in life.
I will start up with sports. Athletics and sports have become one of the essential for me since I was little that I couldn’t remember the rise of it. I have mainly been playing soccer and basketball when I was in elementary school but had a major switch to volleyball as I went into middle school. Volleyball becomes one of my favorite thing to do in life. I love the concepts that are required in volleyball and I love it because the success of it cannot be done just by one person. I love how everyone on the team aims for the same goal and dedicate to it with passion and enthusiasm. I love sport because it gives me a sense of belonging and a unique way to relate myself to society.
The power of music becomes another major factor that inspires me in life. I have been playing an instrument called “Marimba”, a bigger kind of xylophone, since the age of 4. I have never held back from playing the marimba. I always believe that music is just another form of communication. It is a language that is full of emotions and expressions. It is a way to bring joy to the world and is another connection between the world and myself.
Service, another major element in the CAS program. I believe it is the category that I need to work on the most out of the three CAS program because I think it is hard for me to gradually give back to the community with such rapid life every day. Furthermore, I do not have a lot of ideas and plans specifically about service which I believe I have to work more harder on this category especially in the CAS program.
These are all my major points about myself through some brief introductions. I am looking forward to finding some intriguing questions and challenging moments in CAS and hopefully, I will overcome these challenges and be able to discover deeper into the truth of self and to guide me to the light of my future.
