KoH Chang Trip ( CAS trip )

1 of October , all IB students went to Koh Chang trip. For students who were year12 it was a CAS trip and for studnets who were year 13 that trip was a TOK trip .
In Koh Chang we stayed in IDEALS center which is very beautiful and interesting place which is situated near the jungle. All studnets had a very good time. That was my first year in Regent's School and that trip helped me:

• To make new friends.
• To become more risk-taker.
• To be a good communicator.

In Koh Chang I took part in different activities. One of that ctivities was kayaking. At firts I didn't want to do that activity because I thougnt that it is very dangerouse, but then I did that being a risk-taker is a very important skill. And i decided that I had to do it becuase it was very interesting to see how it was. It was the most interesting activity that I ever done .

After that actcivity we did another very interesting activity. We came back to the center from the beach by riding a bicycles and it took from us about 5 or 6 hours. The weather was very stormy however by being a good team member and by make a good decions I did that.

I took part in that activities with my friends, and my partner was Grant, it was interesting to have a partner becuase I learned a lot of things from that. I learned:

• How to be a team member
• How to work with the partner
• I learned to listen my partner and to share different ideas with him.
• I learned that by working as a team member the result will be much better.

During the activity trips I was using my critical thinking and I mad some good decisions, which helped us to finish the activity first. It took from us 8 hours to finish the whole activity , it was very interesting for me and for my friends. I hope that next time I will take part in another activity .

This trip was very important for me becuase it gave me more experience how to be a team member. At firts my aim was to win the competition, however I understood that to win the competition is not the most important thing. The most important thing was to learn about yourself. The activities helped me to know about my weaknesses and what I need to do to improve those weaknesses.

I understand that to be a good friend is very important. Becuase Grant helped me to win the competition adn I helped Grant to win his competition. I think that the time that I spent in Koh Chang was very productive.
