I aquired multi-tasking from my club. Since we have our first ever tournament, club tends to get quite busy and I think I started to balance my schoolwork and that naturally as time went on.
Multitasking
As a member of Wadaiko Raku at APU, I was preparing for the Tenku festival performances while balancing work, classes, tests, relationships, leading, and my health due to an injury. While this greatly relied on my resilience, I feel like my multi-tasking ability was improved to the greatest degree. We practiced taiko tirelessly for many months every single day, in between classes, during off-days, despite sickness, alongside assignment and project deadlines too. I feel our performance was a great success, and I did well in all of my classes, despite struggling a lot.
Multitasking
I did a business contest with my classmates last year. We discussed on what product to make, and shared our ideas.
Teamwork
I worked a lot with other people in CAS groups such as the ecology center.
Teamwork
My understanding improved the more I tried my best and took more ownership of my own work of studies and club. Especially in biology, where I improved my understanding the more I studied and asked the teacher questions, taking ownership and responsibility of my studies.
Understanding
When I was with my teammates of Baton twirling club, we collaborated to match a movement that looked quite messy and from then, I learnt how to work collaboratively with others and give advice to improve.
Teamwork
when doing chorus practise, i realised that teamwork is crucial for it.
