C-A-S: Experience 3

     I have been doing choir at my church for almost 6 years now. During this week, we had a "zoom retreat". We normally have this retreat in person in a location I'm not too familiar with. However, I do know it's in Texas. Anyways, we had a zoom retreat this year because of circumstances with COVID-19. They originally thought they were going to cancel it this year, but they have done the retreat more than 50 years in a row, if I remember correctly. Before the retreat, we were given a bag that had a lot of things inside that we would use for the zoom retreat. We had items like glow-sticks, our music that we would rehearse with, some popcorn, etc. When we started the retreat they went over certain rules that were a part of the rehearsal. We were told that since zoom is glitchy, we were required to mute ourselves and sing at home when we were rehearsing. Also, we all had a breakout room that we were required to be with for a certain time each day for the three day break. My breakout room was filled with all the guys that were at the rehearsal, and while we were in the breakout room, we did all sorts of games and activities like Jeopardy. At the end of it all, we had a movie night where we supposed to eat our popcorn given to us in the bag, and we watched Moana. There was also a chat bar where we could talk amongst each other and talk about the movie we were all watching. I had a blast during the retreat, but I do wish it could've been in person.

C-A-S: Experience 2

       I have always had a passion for running. I’ve run my entire life, even through the pandemic. Running during the pandemic is important to me because it’s a fun activity and it keeps my mind healthy and my body in great shape. I have always had a dream to run a half-marathon. 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. She has also benefited mentally from it as well which is also another goal of mine. My mom has a Houston Fit Marathon Training guideline that explains what I need to do in order to reach my goal. 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...
