I believe that if I work on it, my confidence will grow in a variety of situations now that I am aware of it. I can work on it by trying to be more present in other student groups.<\/p>\n<p>Lo2-\u00c2\u00a0<strong>Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a volunteer for ISSO, I served on the escort team during a football tournament for students from other schools. This challenging role required me to develop new skills in effective communication, problem-solving, leadership, teamwork, and organization. I encountered various issues during the tournament, such as lost or confused students and teams needing transportation assistance, which I was able to quickly address through quick thinking and appropriate solutions. Overall, this experience allowed me to grow both personally and professionally, and the skills I gained have proven useful in other areas of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Lo4-\u00c2\u00a0<strong>Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Due to factors such as the event&#8217;s timing, which occurred a week prior to exams, it was difficult for me to volunteer willingly. As a result, I needed to demonstrate dedication and perseverance. I was able to fulfill my commitment by simultaneously volunteering and studying. I find it difficult to commit to something, but being required to volunteer and take exams forced me to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Lo5:\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<strong>Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to make the event a success, the volunteers on the team had to work together.
