CAS, Creativity – Piano

As discussed in my previous blog I had an injury to my finger. I've been working through this in many ways. I play the piano myself, and have since first grade. This is an important creative aspect of my life and I still want to continue even with my injury. As of now, I don't use my middle finger, which is my broken one. However, starting to move my fingers a little bit, even early on helps, because my fingers have been wrapped up completely and are stiff. I've had to play songs a little bit differently and more slowly, but I am still able to remember the way to play piano. This connects to LO2, as I'm learning to play piano in a different way how much even though I knew how to before, due to my challenges.

CAS, Creativity – Photography

I recently got a new camera called a Panasonic GH5. I got this because I wanted to use it on a school trip to make a film documenting our experiences. After returning home from the trip, I started using the camera a lot more with the skills I gained from the three weeks I spent in Costa Rica. I experimented some more with different settings and used some techniques I learned from my friend I took yearbook photos with. I also spent some time editing photos I took in Costa Rica. I’ve used a program called Affinity Photo to alter the contrast, brightness, shadows, and colors slightly. I’ve added this photo below. These experiences connect to LO2. I have spent a lot of time working with the camera and the editing program, and had many failed attempts at capturing and editing photos, but I’ve become more successful with time. The photo below is one I took on a timer after setting manual settings on the camera.

As part of my leadership position as president with the national honor Society chapter, I've had to plan multiple service events. And one event In particular, where are our group was a volunteering with an organization that cleaned homes of people and the, we had some interesting experiences that we all learned from. At one of the multiple homes that we visited, we had to clean a yard full of leaves. We brought the materials, but we were informed that the man living at that house was older, and in the words of his daughter, stubborn. We tried to start working, but there was some minor conflict. He didn't necessarily want that's at his home, even though his family requested that we help. He was working with the lawn mower, and was clearly struggling with it, so we had to him all make a decision with my leadership about what to do about this man. Even though he was not related to us, I still have to take a leadership position and consider the impact of my decision. I wasn...
