I chose YSI as my community involvement. Young Social Innovators is an organisation that promotes young people to help the people and topics in need of promotion in their area. We chose homelessness as our project for the year. We involved Tiglin, Peter McVerry and SVP heavily in our project. This project was a major success and I'm so happy I got involved.
New Skill
I participated in a driving course called Steer Clear run by Ian Fleming. In this course, I learnt the rules of the road, what all the road signs mean, how the car works and what part of the car controls what. This course ran from 28/9/2017 to 08/03/2018. We were examined on the 8th March and I achieved a pass with 70% in the written exam. This skill will come into use when I begin learning how to drive in the months to come.
Physical Activity
I chose hockey as my physical activity. I was heavily involved in the Junior Cup team this year in my school. I was vice-captain of this team. We reached the semi-final of our cup but unfortunately lost 1-0 to Muckross Park. I enjoyed being apart of this team so much and I believe we all grew as a team throughout the year.I also continued this activity for an extra 13 weeks.
