Activity: Learning Outcome 1: November 2019

 I went for a walk. I often time find it difficult to step away from my computer or phone or whatever it is that I am working on. Something I have been trying to do is take my time with things more often and really be in the moment which is what has lead me to go on these sorta-daily walks. 

The act of walking is not what I found to be difficult, but the act of stepping away from what I considered to be productive was. I often find myself feeling that if I'm not actively working on creating something or developing something that I am being lazy or unproductive or even wasting my time.

So when it came to getting up to go on my walk I realized that this was something I needed to work on. I am extremely determined and excited about working but there are some areas that I need to improve on such as stepping away from my work and taking time for myself which is why I feel that through my walk I have had learning outcome #1. I have recognized my strengths but I have also recognized where I need improvement.

Service: Learning Outcome 5: November 2020

I volunteered to work again as a student ambassador at my school's open house event. I have done this many times now. I really enjoy doing it though sometimes I get overwhelmed working with so many students. I always end up having so much fun in the end but it really can be difficult.  At this open house, I got to present to incoming students and prospective students, and parents about life at my school, Post Oak. I talked about clubs, sports, extracurriculars, school events, and all the especially fun parts about my school. I really enjoyed getting to work with other students. When presenting, me and one other student rotated and took turns sharing with the group. We also took turns answering the groups' questions. Presenting with another person really helped me to see the benefits that come with working with others. Not only can it help to lighten your plate but it helps in building friendships and learning to work with others. This is learning outcome 5 because I demonstrate...

Activity: Learning Outcome 1: August 2020

Today I practiced some restorative yoga! I was feeling sore from the previous days of my yoga practice, I have been making an effort to practice daily, so instead of continuing with poses such as downward dog and cobra, I took some more relaxed poses such as supported fish. I wanted to make a conscious effort to not overwork myself and to really focus on how I was feeling in that moment. I didn't want to give up on my goal of daily yoga practice due to feeling a bit sore, so instead, I modified my practice to make it more accessible to myself on this day. The supported fish pose was definitely a favorite pose of mine that I practiced because it helped to open up my backs and relax our shoulders which is where I was feeling pretty sore. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with back pain or even just needs a good stretch. This yoga practice was really fun and enjoyable for me and is learning outcome 1 because I identified my areas of strength but also learned where I need to i...

Activity: Learning Outcome 2: March 2020

In the photography club, we worked on taking long exposure photos. Taking photos like these is oftentimes pretty hard. With the help and guidance of my friends, I was able to take some decent pictures.  I found myself getting easily frustrated throughout the process and becoming angry when I could not take the exact picture that I wanted but it was then that I realized how valuable patience is.  I had learning outcome 2 while taking these pictures because I knew there were challenges that I was facing but I allowed myself to grow from them. I even developed new skills in the process. I developed the skill of patience. I developed the skill of asking for help. And I developed the skill of taking my time and really engaging with the activity I am taking part in.
