Piano Lessons


This activity was mainly undertaken in order to improve my personal piano skills which were previously very average. By attending a piano lesson once week, I did learn how to use dynamics, and tempo in a songs. Learnt how to improvise. The most achieving part was, that I did improve my reading skills from the sheet. This enabled me to participate in projects of world importance when preforming in order to attract attention to rise as much donations for orphanages. Overall I hope that my skills will develop to more advanced level.

Guitar lesson.

Playing acoustic guitar was something new for me, the main objective was to play somehow on guitar. Throughout constant practice, I learnt a songs, music tabs and basic concepts. I was quite difficult to bent a fingers on a strings or to have clear sound of tone however this was finally overcome. Overall I've developed my musical skills and artistic spirit. In a future I will try to play electric guitar. I hope this will help me when promoting service organizations or cooperate with a band in a far future

24hours swim

24hours swim is charity based day where various artistic performances were made in order to rise money for local orphanage. This was also done throughout 24hours active swim, where the team member swimmers were devided into certain time allocations in order to finish the whole activity in shortest time as possible. This improved my sense of Service and social thinking. Since I had a opportunity to help the teacher to plan and procede whole event. I also did promote whole event throughout artistic way which was very beneficial for purpose (wearing pink swimming suit in order to attract attention )

French teaching.

This activity was undertaken to help french teacher in teaching small kids French. This was mainly done 2 times a week in average. This helped me to learn some new french words from the teacher and

to develop and learn some teaching skills. It was quite hard to capture attention of the students at the beginning finally I found a creative way how to teach throughout the way of pictures and games. Overall this activity was quite rewarding since i tough the students some concepts and developed my teaching skills which I never had before.

International award


The whole activity was fulfilling my potential, since I could asses whether am I capable of developing my personal skills in various key areas. For example music performance on previously learned piano helped me to stick together the members of our expedition team. As next we were participating in money rising activity in order to get the food for local orphanage. As a last part of our international award activity was preparation and final expedition to the jungle where we stayed over 2 nights and than walked back. The whole treck was around 30 Km long in total, where the local climate which is hot and very humide is one factor that makes the whole expedition even harder.

Overall this activity learnt me how to be persistent, flexible and more organized.

French language


During this activity, I've been challenged many times by the form of the new topics issued.

However by everyday repeating and under the teachers support I've learnt many new essential

kinds of grammatical features, oral matter and updated my personal knowledge in the field of literature.

Nevertheless the main fight will be fought during the main DELF exams, where I will be able to use in practice my knowledge achieved during this language course.

Buthan documentary trip


The main reason of this 3 week trip was to do a service (building classroom) and filming service documentary in Bhutan.


The whole project was done over the period of 3 weeks where the technical challenges were the main problem that had to be overcome over many times. Basically the whole project was performed everyday with the 6 hours in total spent of filming, photographing and dealing with local people.


However this film wasn't made for commercial purpose – the main reason was to give it as a gift to a local people as a kind of thanking them for their friendly position towards the film making.


The School is located somewhere in Punaka valley (4 hours away from capital city). The main purpose of our visit was

to help to build a new classroom for local students. I find myslef strugelling first days with working in High altitude.

How ever finally I did acclimatisize and was actively helping with the construciton.


Apart from the project the whole expedition concerned many dangerous events such as climbing on the mountain of 4500m high.

Approaching to dangerous animals and filming at the dangerous places to catch the best point of view.


Thru this experience I have challenged my abilities to a maximum and raised the level of my overall experience.

I rise my service self esteem and enriched my abilities working with kids in need.

Apart from that I did also improved my creative skills when making the viedo.

Overall this experience helped me to understand the global improtance of helping those

who are in need.

JOGA

The stress is the main issue of the failure during the high pressure situations.

The main reason of commitment to this morning activity was to asses how able am I to concentrate on the exercised position. I would like to expect the main result in the way of thinking, reducing the stress, well organizing the school events and improve the attendance to a particular event.

The results can be seen so far. In my opinion my way of thinking stay focused during the stress situations such as school test or the sport competition.

I think, that Yoga is the nonviolent way of exercise leading to the good and equilibrated life

Expedition to Laos


This expedition was mainly done in order to enrich our durability gained in International award.

This was more challenging, since we went on longer adventure to another country. This helped me alot to gain independence and sense of leadership in critical situations. This activity also helped me to achieve decision making flexibility and physical durability and sense of survival in wild nature for several days. There was also sense of ethical consideration when dealing with cultural differences such as language barriers, religious differences etc. Overall I think that this will help me to deal with random situations in future understanding different cultures in more depth.

Jazz band

Thanks to jazz band I have developed my personal musical skills in way of improvisation and cooperation wit members of the band. However the whole jazz improvisation is a wide topic and to finish my Jazz learning, I will have to spend a little bit of training and professional help.
How ever the aspect of the good music makes me happy, and as my future goal might be improving of my Jazz composition skills and perhaps another instrument such as Guitar.
This also will enable me to play during charity events to rise a money necessary to donate those who are in need.

Language week in Hong kong



This activity was mainly education- based in order

to develop our current language skills throughout communication

with local people. It was difficult to understand the different

cultural habits at first moment, there was also problem to understand clearly what the local people intended to say because of thei

r pronunciation. However the final language barrier was overcome after few days helping me to partially communicate with local people and to participate in local cultural dance performance.

Overall this activity helped me to develop my understanding

of Chinese culture, developing my cultural and langua

ge skills

Theater sports

By our performance in the theatre sports competition we have won this event. The
competition was mainly based upon the personal skills and improvisation.However the
instant improvisation is an hard skill that is mastered only by theatric confrontation.
I found the english as a main difficult problem during the performance and the cooperation with my mates to successfully realize our performance on the stage, in front hundred students.
Finally our fear was overcome and our self confidence strengthened.
I hope, that the cooperation with the others will be more on the professional level, than it was.

Winter travel guide

During the winter time I was challenged by the event of organizing the trip for about 6 people in the Thailand. It was quite challenging, because I've never been to Thailand before.

Our trip started in the Bangkok, where I had to take this group of 6 people to the hotel from the airport.


In the afternoon I've organized the trip to the old city – The day was success full. After 3 days spent in Bangkok we had to travel to the south to Krabi. There at the airport the problem occurred the transport to Ko lanta wasn't organized, nevertheless my quick decision making was put in the use.

Hired minibus was relatively cheap. Than Arrival to Koh Lanta – than plenty sight seeing and organizing cheap transport.


After 1 week we have traveled to Koh Nghai – small island than after 5 days spent on the island I've organized with local Business manager the trip to the Pukhet where we stayed in the hoter until the end.
Than Flight back to Bangok and organization of the shopping trips and finally transfer of these people to the airport.


To sum up, I think, that the trip was well organized and the first fear of failing organizing this trip was unreasonable. I hope that the improvements should be done in the accommodation booking in advance. Overall I developed new leadership skills and since I started up something previously unknown I can say that I did cope with constrains quite well.
