Playing Piano


pianoq.jpg I love music, I have always been wanting to learn to play a musical instrument. Well the CAS program has encouraged me to learn to play piano as a part of my creativity. Learning to play piano is a difficult thing, at least it seemed much easier for me.
 Every Tuesday and Saturday evenings I have a piano lesson. I have to show a lot of perseverance, because, as I said, piano if a very difficult instrument to play. Yet i am on a pretty basic level, and even though it is hard, I enjoy the fact that I'm being creative and patient. I hope that I will improve soon, because my piano teacher thinks that I am doing pretty good for a beginner. I really want to play piano at a decent level that is why I am working hard to improve my new skill.

Tennis Activity


 I have been playing tennis for quite a long time already. Every Wednesday and Sunday I go to play tennis in 'Ace Club', and I hope I have improved my tennis skills a lot. I love playing tennis, I find this sport very interesting and competitive, besides my father plays tennis too, so it is one of the things that we have in common and we like to discuss. I think tennis is a very healthy sport, because it involves running and stuff. 
 As I already said, tennis is a competitive game and I think my next step should be a competition. I am already signed in for a competition which is going to take place in the first half of the May. So now I am trying to train as hard as my studying schedule allows me, in fact, I am really looking forward to continue playing tennis, and I hope in May I will reach some sort of an achievement in it.

Gym and Swimming

  This school year I started to go to Marina Club for swimming, and I have been successfully doing it for half a year already. In addition to my swimming activity I have decided to attend the gym. The gym is situated in the same building as the swimming pool, and I have been going to the gym for couple of weeks already. The gym is very big, with a lot of machines and equipment, fortunately, my Club Card includes gym master for 1 day a week. So every saturday morning at 10:00 I have some sort of a lesson in a gym with my personal trainer, which I think is very useful. I have to show a good level of perseverance, because I have to wake up pretty early every weekend, in order to improve my swimming skills and learn a new  skill, which is working- out skill if such exists.
 I am looking forward to continuing these activities because I believe that they make me healthier and stronger.

The Winter Sport Day


 On 13 of March there was a Winter Sport Day, or also called the Snow Day. That event was run by year 12 and 13 and the aim of it was to inspire the students to be more competitive as it was another chance for them to gain points for their houses.
We had a big variety of activities provided, including sport activities, arts workshops, intellectual marathons, etc
 My group (me, Peter and Thibaut) was running the touch rugby on the snow activity. We had to work collaboratively to organize little kids, which is a pretty hard thing to do! I provided some service to school and I was happy to see the joy and enthusiasm of the year 7 and 8 students as the result of my work.
 I think everyone, including teachers, had a lot of fun and I am looking forward in having this kid of opportunities to make students to get to know each other better.
