Playing Football With Friends ACTION LO5
19 November 2018: 1 Hour
Today during open work time at school, I spent time throwing and catching a football with Cassandra, Julian, North, and Brandon. After spending our whole mornings inside, it was mood-lifintg to spend some time outside as well. By doing this I believe that I have fulfilled the action aspect of CAS, and the following learning outcome: Demonstrate skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively.

Justice For Children Internship SERVICE LO6
5 November 2018: 4 Hours
Today I finished reviewing the Child and Youth Services reports for the case which I had begun to look over on the twenty second of October. Through these reports, I was given first hans insight into the opinions and beliefs of the child being abused (as I was given the opportunity to review the transcript). I found this interesting as the child seemed aware of the situation that she was in, and was able to deduce some of the reasons why her mother acted toward her in a neglectful manner. For starters she stated that her mother would often seek support from her (the abused child) by discussing the stressors in her life, however, responded passively and indifferently to the results of psychological evaluations which had diagnosed the child with various emotional and mental health disorders. Additionally, the mother of the child would often leave her in their apartment for hours alone or overnight. Further, she is reluctant to provide proper medical examinations and check-ups for the child. Today, I believe that I have fulfilled the service aspect of CAS and the following learning outcome: Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance.

30 DAY CAS PROJECT London A-Term Itinerary Planning CREATIVITY LO3
5 November 2018: 5 Hours
This weekend I spend time on Friday, Saturday and Sunday solidifying and rechecking our budget, as well as piecing together the itinerary for the London A-Term trip. This required searching the locations of each of the landmarks we are planning to visit in order to obtain a clear idea of how long each activity would take (taking transportation into account). Additionally, I needed to ensure that we had fulfilled any outside preparations that needed to be made for visiting some of the landmarks such as purchasing tickets ( not covered for some places by our London passes). Overall, it is exiting to see this trip become closer and closer to reality, and I am hopeful that we will be able to throughly prepare for the trip to ensure it's success. Through my predatory work for this A-term, I believe that I have fulfilled the creativity aspect of CAS, and the following learning outcome: Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience.
