Project Arnold-Final Reflection

It has been a really good experience working with Arnold. I never thought that I would be involved in a project like this but it has truly taught me a lot. I feel as though we have helped Arnold grow as a musician and brought him one step closer to fulfilling his dream and to be a part of that process has been very rewarding. At times it was a challenge as I did not realise how much time it would take to first of all record and produce the songs and then performing them, but in the end it has all been worth it. I think that I have met all the learning outcomes that I targetted at the beginning of this process. I undertook a new challenge as I had never had any experience with something like this, it was a whole new territory for me and because of this it allowed me to learn a lot at the same time. By working with Karan and Eddy, I feel like we worked well together and collaborated well as we all realised our roles quickly and carried them out as best as we could. In terms of planning and initiating activities, this was also my first time organising my own activities to raise money such as the non-uniform day that we organised. These fundraisers were successful but also a challenge as we had to be very organised. Even though the CAS project of helping Arnold is over, I still intend to be very much involved in helping him as I genuinely feel that he has a lot of talent. I will definitely keep in touch with Arnold and help him whenever he needs it as he has become a good friend throughout this process. However, because we will be at university next year, we have passed on the project to IB1'S so that they can continue helping Arnold. Overall, I have really enjoyed being a part of this project, it has been a good learning experience and I am happy that we managed to help Arnold.
