Journal 1.0: The very beginning..

         

  I had been longing for 'this' hour of the day to come and was more than excited to see what our CAS co-ordinator, Mr.Rolf, had kept in mind for us. Today we had our fresh commencement of CAS with a 'Sports drill'! One of our coaches, Mr.Soundhar took initiative to display four hand exercises done in different ways, whilst expecting us to maintain co-ordination with the whole squad, as we follow him.
                  Promptly, we arranged ourselves in four rows on the soccer field (two for boys and two for girls) and were all ready to follow the coach and repeat the movements to develop practice, as this is to be done on our Republic day on January 26th. We were initially beckoned to execute each movement as he counted (one exercise took about 16 counts!) and then it was with drum-beats.
                Next, we were told to perform all four exercises together (the fourth one including a clap was the best one for most), one after the next, almost five times! It was a scorching day, so it kind of knackered us all but at the same time it was a lot of fun. He declared to us that he was impressed with our group (that consists of around 40 students) and called it the best IB-DP batch for CAS, till date, because he observed and appreciated decency and team-work.
