Surprise birthday party

29-30/10/2021

Single: about 5h

Voluntary work to organize a surprise birthday party for an acquaintance. Mostly planning, organizing, decorating, serving food and cleaning. Planning the date, place and booking the place and the artist who performed. Decorating and organizing, for example, setting the lights and tables and changing the arrangement of the rooms. During the party, general organizing, serving food and cleaning.

Aim for the action is to organize a surprising and memorable night. My personal values include doing my all to my close ones and being a better person. Working on my planning and communication skills and improving my maturity and problem-solving skills. Collaborative work tends to be a challenge for me, but luckily I was mostly with my family and people I'm familiar with. Such a giving, yet challenging experience in many ways, but overall a successful night. The surprise came out of the blue and most people spent their night well.

Donating blood

19/7/2022 Single: 1h My mother has been trying to convince me to donate blood for years, as she does it quite frequently. Now that I'm 18 and able to donate it, we, as a whole family decided to do it. It was a first time for my dad as well, so it was quite exciting. We went to a local blood donating centre to fill out forms and engage in a pre-interview. The nurses noticed that I was nervous, but were extremely kind and welcoming. The procedure went fine and afterwards we enjoyed the food they serve for donators.  This activity was such a big achievement for me as I have terrible fear of needles. Have to admit that I'm proud of myself for coming over my fear and helping others. By donating blood you can save up to 8 lives, great feeling.

IB Promo in Instagram

Image
14/2/2022 Single: about 2h As we are switching into a new school, and we must promote our schools International Baccalaureate. I was a part of social media demo, and creating content for our new school's Instagram story. We introduced the IB, told why we applied here, what we have heard about the IB before applying, the best things about the IB...  Learning new techniques concerning photo editing and using our creativity in trying to make IB seem intriguing through stories, for potential future students. Mental growth can also be seen, as the assignment got us thinking, how privileged and lucky we are that we have this amazing opportunity to study internationally. Such an eye-opening experience, which we are all grateful for! (One of the slides of our promo)
