Drama Club
Since shortly together with some friends, I joined the Drama club here at ISWA that runs on Fridays from 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm after school. It is a place where we not only practice interesting acting techniques, but we also get to work with other people to perform short skits or improvise scenarios on the spot. Already, I've met quite a few new people, and by doing this, I feel a lot more comfortable within the group.
Initially I actually wanted to join to overcome my stage fright and I did that by stepping out of my comfort zone. I do not really enjoy public speaking, but by doing these little activities just in front of my peers, I am slowly gaining confidence not only in the club but also in class presentations and discussions.
I am committed to the club as I try and make it every Friday and I really do enjoy it more than I thought I would. Due to the laughs we have as a group, I sometimes even end up forgetting my fear of public speaking, I wish it could just be like that in every class. In total, I must have gone about four weeks in a row, but could not continue due to the increase in the amount of homework and assignments, but overall, I am very happy that I took the initiative to attend whenever I was able to.

Learning Outcomes:
You have undertaken new challenges.
Being the quiet and reserved person that I am, it is very unusual for me to try anything like drama club and getting up in front of people to perform. But thanks to the support of my peers and the open-mindedness of the club members, I was able to express myself in a way that I would usually never could, clearly undertaking new challenges and stepping out of my comfort zone.
To plan and initiate your own activities.
I also reached one of my goals when referring to initiating my own activities would be somewhat achieved as I did suggest a few games that we could so for a warm up and most of the people enjoyed it.
