Today my siblings and I went to an ice rink to skate. When we came to the rink we were faced with two problems. Firstly, my sister and I did not have skates and we couldn't rent a pair either. Secondly, after the last night snow fall the rink was covered with a thick layer of snow which made it very difficult to skate on, especially for small children.
My sister and I immediately identified this as a great service opportunity. We asked for shovels and progressively cleaned up half of the rink while our brother was enjoying skating. This activity involved physical work (which potentially makes it an active activity too) and I got tired easily but didn't stop until there was enough of cleared ice for all of the people present at the rink to skate on. In addition to that I also helped out kids who couldn't skate well by picking them up from the ice and attempting to teach them how to ice skate.
I thought that both of my service activities were good for CAS and what's more important didn't feel like a drag at all.
CAS Objectives:
- developing new skills
- undertaking new challenges
- considering ethical implications of my actions
- being communicative and caring
