 I have been playing cricket for the last two and half years but I never bothered about taking pictures of me doing my action because of my heavy involvement in the game. But once I reached in 12th grade work load kept me away from my regular sessions of cricket. And by the end of January our classes almost finished as most of my Sri Lankan friends had exams. So unfortunately I couldn’t take photo with my playmates.   But today I somehow went to the ground and had some individual coaching. And today, I only did batting practice, because batting is something where I lack skills. Normally being busy, my main coach comes very rarely. But my coach has arranged a sub coach who teaches me most of the batting, bowling and fielding skills. This time I worked on developing some skills needed for decent batting. 
I am very eager to get more classes from him, before i leave Sri Lanka because I think I can improve even better if I am keep on getting training in cricket. I am also very glad that I could able to meet those CAS goals. I understood my strong areas and weak areas in batting. Like playing on drive, the cover drive, square cut and forwards defense and many else those are my strong areas, whereas Back foot defense, Off the Pads through the on - side etc. those are my weaknesses.  So, this way I increased my awareness my own strengths and areas of growth. So, this way I undertook new challenges. I also planned and initiated activities and worked collaboratively with others. By getting those training I also gained skills and also understood the ethical implications of my action.

My favorite Action (Cricket)

After, having a leg injury, i couldn't attend most of my action classes. But this weekend i went to the courts to  practice. And during that practice i learned some new batting techniques and bowling techniques. Bowling was the hardest art i faced in my practice because i had to run a lot in that, whereas in batting i didn't run that much, so it was all fine. I really worked collaboratively with my partner and also because of that we could able to make a good partnership score.At the same time, i gained new skills in both batting and bowling. And overall i think i pretty much shown perseverance and commitment in my action part of the CAS, even though my leg was paining. I think i will have to improve on bowling side because this time i couldn't bowl properly meaning proper line and length to the batsmen. I think my batting is quite strong because i made quite a lot of runs in the first and the second innings. Next, time when i go, i will start practicing on my fielding also because my doing it i can be a good all- rounder and at the same time i can one of the important criteria of CAS i.e considered  the ethical implication of my action. Because if i follow that criteria, then i can i almost hit all the criteria set my IB for action.

Risk taking in Creativity

Last night, i gave myself a big challenge to sing in front of quite a big audience at India house. This way i performed reflects that i met some critical criteria of CAS such as before performing this concert, i really developed some skill and abilities, and also i undertook the challenge to perform it in front of everyone. And i am looking forward to perform like this in many other places also.

My creativity


Last year, I was somehow following through my creativity goals, but this year unfortunately due to heavy works I couldn't attend that many music classes. One of the most challenging thing, which I faced during this year in my creativity (vocal music) because vocal music is something which you really need to practice at least some time during the week ends but I was so busy that I couldn’t practice. That lack of practice really showed up when I went to my music sir's house after a long time. I was hardly singing anything decent. From that class onwards I really started giving some of my valuable time in practicing my vocal music to develop those skills necessary for a singer. In that run, I tried to hit some of the main goals of CAS, which were; I gained many vocal music skills and abilities to perform it outside my house and also nowadays I am really showing commitment to my creativity.
