CAS Objectives:
- Planned and initiated activities- For english I was required to plan different activities to teach the drivers in different areas such as animals, sports,along with others, that needed to be initiated in order to have a successful lesson with the class of drivers.
- Worked collaboratively with others- I worked with my partner, Damon, in order to be victorious in obtaining great results when trying to teach basic english to the bus drivers, who were very motivated during our lessons, which was very good for us.
Today's class we taught the students about verbs and when to apply them. It was a very productive class because the small number of students were working very hard, with the commitment and attitude necessary for the activity. After teaching them this new topic we had a conversation implementing the verbs into the talk, while letting them converse between themselves while we would help them with the words that they did not know, some big improvements were shown since the first english lesson, and I am very proud of it.

Today the same students came to the lesson that was centered on a new topic, commonly known sports. The sport that we talked the most about was Football, due to the fact that it was the sport of preference by the bus drivers. We also introduced other sports to the conversation such as volleyball, basketball, and swimming. This was very helpful to them as they were learning new interesting topics, while I felt the fulfillment of being able to help someone else in areas they need improvement.

Today was my first lesson as an english teacher for the bus drivers of the school, unfortunately only three bus drivers and assistants showed up, when we were expecting a greater number of students. The topic of the day was greetings, as we taught them different ways to say hello and goodbye. After teaching them that, we decided to do a short activity in which the drivers had to have a small conversation using the words they learnt and the ones they already knew. I am glad that I was able to help them learn new words, and it was a very interesting experience for me.

First of all think of the most fulfilling and wonderful feeling ever, now multiply it by a thousand, thats how I felt about my experience at the health brigade. My role as a group leader of 7-9 year old kids was to take them around the different stations for them to get checked up by the doctors without any problems or inconveniences. I believed my role was played very well, and was able to help every single one of the kids with at the different stations that they were required to pass, such as, hearing, sight, dental care, drawings, sports along with other activities. After passing through all the stations the kids had time to eat pizza and play for a while before going back to Cazuca or to their houses.
This was a one of the greatest experiences of my CAS program so far I was able to help the kids in areas that they lack of, while it also made me realize how much support they needed from me, which since that day I have been willing to give. This motivated me into donating most of my childhood toys and clothes with my family every month until today, so I believe it had a great impact of my life, which the kids were the ones who helped me realize this.
