Bal Mela is the biggest event of the year where we invite children from various SMC and village schools to enjoy different activities in sports, arts, music & dance.

LO 1 Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

looking forward to my strengths and weaknesses i chose arts and crafts because I knew that art and craft and tattoo making i am really good at i have designed patterns and rest whatever they say. It is important to know your strengths and weakness because when you know them it is easy to decide the path ahead.

LO 2 Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process

there were challenges like because they would talk in the Gujarati language which i am unaware of whenever they say any pure Gujarati word of whatever they wanted to make i had to ask my peers or the teacher about the words and also they would always come in the bunch so handily and giving time to all of them was quite difficult. I have done similar before in community service but in that, we need to teach the kids but in this, we have to do on them so for example in community service i was supposed to help them in making stuff but in bal mela we ourselves have to make.

LO 4 Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

showing commitment was necessary because we all were assigned booths and responsibilities and if we are absent or will make any last-minute changes it will be difficult and will ruin the overall event. Doing a commitment isn’t that easy we have to cancel everything for the event if planned.

LO 5 Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively

working with others is generally easy for me because I am a good listener so less scope for fights and unconvinced. and that’s why even in this event it was very easy for me to work and collaborate with others. when a bunch of students used to come we used to divide the kids among us and then also if i don’t know to draw a tattoo I can pass it to them they might know how to do it better also we all have different strengths and weaknesses.
