CAS Goals 2011-2012

• Live up to my expectations as Assistant Director of the School Production of Fiddler on the Roof. Most Grade 12 Theater Arts students were expected to sign up and do something for the school production, not to fulfill any requirements for the course but solely so that we would have additional meaningful content for our TPPP meaning that any work we do on the production can count as CAS. I signed up to be the Assistant Director because I was somewhat bored with acting in school productions and I felt that this could be a new and meaningful experience that would teach me something. By doing this I would be undertaking new challenges as I've never helped direct something this big, showing perseverance as this would be a full time job, developing new skills and working collaboratively with others. I am somewhat worried about the workload that Assistant Director-ship would bring but hopefully I will not be overwhelmed and will be able to carry out my job well.
• Perform the tasks I am handed in my two service activities of Cleft Palate and DAWG. While I am not an official member of DAWG I did agree to helping them with whatever they needed outside of the regular meetings on thursday afternoons as I was a leader of the activity two years ago and therefore have some experience with it. I've also agreed to be at the annual sterilization and vaccination event which is the culminating result of DAWG's fundraising activities. Cleft Palate is the service activity that I've been officially signed up for and the reason I joined them was because I was a member of their activity at the end of the 11th grade and I wanted  a sense of continuity and despite the activity being somewhat problematic in terms of its service last year, this year they are under new leadership who seem a bit more motivated and therefore I wanted to join them and support the cause which I felt was a noble one. The critical learning outcomes I will be connecting with are: Undertaking new challenges as Cleft Palate has changed considerably this school year due to the fact that they will be visiting the hospital more, showing perseverance and commitment as I have unofficially committed myself to two service activities and being a senior student I will be accepted to take leadership roles despite not officially being a leader (the reason being that I was SGA President last year meaning that I did not have the opportunity to get well-versed in one service activity), planning and initiating activities as both service activities are fund-raising based we will need to get creative with our methods and finally I will have to work collaboratively with others as all these service activities revolve around the group.
