YEAR 1 CAS REFLECTION
WHAT CAS
MEANS TO ME
My year 1 cas experience was definitely full of surprises,
it’s more focused on stepping outside my comfort zone and
interacting with people outside my Group of friends and
developing meaningful connections with others. This year I
definitely lean more towards environmental activities,
which hopefully I will be doing in the future. Frankly, CAS
was totally different from the previous CNS and SISSA that
I’ve joined for the last 4 years, CAS allows me to not only
do services that are beneficial for my soul and others who
needed the help, but CAS allows me to explore on my
creativity and activity that encouraged me to explore more
about myself as an individual. Doing CAS surely lifts up my
mood and I think of it as a break from all of the hectic,
piled-up schoolworks and deadlines. But, ever since the
pandemic, several plans for CAS activities were canceled
and it’s truly disheartening because my friends and I were
supposed to open up a shop to help endangered animals in
Jogja. This year I’m positive that I was able to meet my
aims and goals, and met the learning outcomes. After one
year of doing CAS, I realized that I've become better and
more well-rounded as a person. However, i definitely think
that I can still do more and help more people in the future,
I won’t stop doing CAS just because I’ve accomplished my
aims and goals and the learning outcomes, I enjoy doing
CAS to the fullest because i think that it’s a great
opportunity for me to become more self-aware, be an
empath, and meet new people so that I can put myself in
their shoes.
