C-A-S: Experience 1

    During the summer of my junior year at Post Oak I had the opportunity to volunteer with an organization called The COVID NineTEEN Project. The organization provides free teen-led activities and one-on-one tutoring to elementary school children. The project started as a small group of teenagers providing tutoring and grew to be advertised by Sirius XM, ABC, and other news networks. It grew to help hundreds of children throughout the United States.


    The goal of the COVID NineTEEN project is to relieve parents from stress during the pandemic and keep children exciting and motivated about learning. Tutoring included a focus on science, Spanish, math and many other fun games including bingo, LEGOs and so much more. During my time at the organization, I got matched up with two other counselors and played bingo with a lot of different kids. It was a pleasurable experience to be able to give back. I had the opportunity to meet a variety of children from different backgrounds and lifestyles. It always brightened my day when I saw the kids thoroughly enjoy winning at Bingo!

There are many reasons why I want to run a half marathon and my mom is one of them. My mom has been a role model for me because she’s run innumerable marathons during her life.

It will take more than a six months to complete. However, it might take me less time to train for this goal because I’m already in good shape. The spreadsheet consists of running three times a week with a long run on Saturdays. It steadily increasing the amount I am going to run from 3 miles to 12 miles. The schedule also ...

C-A-S: Reflection 2

     Throughout my life, I have always been an aficionado about running. It's been one of my favorite hobbies and my  favorite activity to do when I'm free. Recently, because of the pandemic as well as consistently having injuries every year, such as breaking my left ankle (twice), getting concussions, breaking my toes (three times), etc. it has halted my and reduced my strength and endurance and hindered my ability to run. Thus, I will need to continuously train harder and work out more to attain my goal. In addition, I will also cycle and bike more as a supplement to my training. I would like to increase my endurance and lose some weight to be able to not only run at a faster rate, but also run for a greater amount of time. Just recently, I began to run again and although I am certainly still lean and able to run for   5 kilometers, I certainly would like to carry through more training so that it becomes more easy and less strenuous. I am excited to carry...
