CAS PORTFOLIO

While I were on my school trip in Gdańsk, I visited many interesting museums that broadened my art and history knowledge: National Museum, II World War Museum and European "Solidarność" Centre. A visit to these museums deepened my knowledge. I changed the perception of Polish history. Personally, I do not like visiting museums related to the Second World War, because I take it too emotionally. However, the form of presenting these stories, surprised me very much and I appreciate it very much. However, the greatest experience was a visit to the Solidarity Museum. This is a period that interests me very much. Many effects are still visible today because these events took place relatively recently. That is why I am very happy that I could get to know them even better, from various sources gathered together.

Taking advantage of the September weather I went to the park and Litewski Square. It had beneficial influence on my health as I could breath some fresh air and clear the mind. It let me admire the beauty of autumn colors, which strongly influenced my reception of the world. Such impressions are also very important in artistic terms because they are a source of inspiration.

In the first semester of the school year 2017/18, I have participated in PE very eagerly. Everyweek break for 2 hours of exercises during full schedule of classes is very refreshing for my body and mind. My involvement in classes was rewarded grade 5 for the semester. My favorite part of physical education is basketball and fitness. In basketball I can really let myself go, while fitness activities allow me to stretch my body. This is very beneficial for me as it makes my body fit, but also allow me to be more efficient as a learner.

On 16th of September I have participated in Days of European Youth Parliament Poland in Lublin. I was in FEMM Committee. We have discussed the bias against women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields. The topic was: What measures can the Member States take to decrease gender inequality in STEM spheres?

I am trying to eat healthier. I have limited the consumption of wheat in particular white bread. I also try to eat more regularly.

We exchanged knowledge about education system, everyday habits and traditions and ways of spending free time.  Firstly, we got to know the history of Roma people, as well as their traditions and some names of things used by them. We also found out their view on culture of other nations and how they treat it. That day I learned that their culture is very important for them. Being discriminated, they have two ways: they can adapt to the society where they live and forget about some of their traditions or become marginalised, what would lead to difficulty with finding a job, thereby it would be harder for them to have a decent life. I also noticed that not everybody identif...

Every Tuesday During classes of phisical education we are runnig, playing volleyball and having sport games. It makes my condition better, what is especially usefull when you need to be at the bus stop on time and live 1 km away from it, and improve my health. Little break from ordinary classes is very pleasant, bacause body produces endorfins that make one happier.

6.09, 8.09, 13.09, 22.09, 29.09 Since the beginning of September I started attending drawing classes. Not only is this activity connected with my interest, but it is also necessary for me if I want to take entrance exams to universities of fine arts. In september I learned about techniques how to draw with a pencil and charcoal. This month we were trying to present still life. For first two weeks classes lasted 2 hours but then I changed the group to attend 4-hour one. Also at home I prepared sketches of human body, starting from drawing hands.  Those classes enable me to develop my perception of surrounding. Trying to present the world on the paper make me perceive it differently. I am more aware of my moves because when you draw you have to think how to lead your every movement.
