On the 30th of March my school organised the IB Open Day for middle schoolers interested in attending an IB course. The whole event turned out to be a huge success and I can proudly say that I was a part of it.
I was helping in open history lessons about witchcraft and it was so much fun. Me and my classmates had to help students from middle school in some simple tasks and questions. Those people were surprisingly bright and clever and some of them really shook me with their knowledge and intelligence. Working with them was quite enjoyable, however I had to be really patient (which I'm terrible at) and try not to lose my cool when they didn't understand something or simply couldn't work as a team. But this whole experience made me feel important and made me realize that in that exact moment I'm some kind of a role model for those people and a lot depends on me and my attitude. I know I did my best to show IB in our school as something worth considering and I'm proud of me and all the people who helped with this event.

Creativity - YouTube channel
This month was great when it comes to developing my singing skills. I finally found enough courage to share my passion with the world and decided to start my YouTube channel where I post covers of songs I like. I worked really hard to achieve the effect I expected and record some valuable piece of music. Surprisingly, the most difficult part wasn't recording my voice, but mixing it all together with music and of course sharing my songs on Facebook. The first song I recorded, mixed and shared was "Riptide". I was really anxious about it but my friends responded in a very positive way which pushed me to record another song - "Make you feel my love".
I've realized how much work it takes to record a good cover, besides singing skills. Along the way I've developed my poor computer skills which I consider incredibly unexpected but valuable. And the most important part - I've learnt that overcoming our doubts and fears is truly therapeutic and can boost our self-esteem in a second. Currently, I'm really proud of myself. :)

Activity - Dance Workout
The weather in March was kind of weird. Sometimes I felt like it was still winter and sometimes it was as hot as in the summer. It really messed up my running schedule and in the end I decided to quit it for good. But I still wanted to stay in shape in order to come back to running when the weather is finally 'normal'. While surfing on the Internet I stumbled across a video called "45 minutes dance workout" and decided to give it a try. And I have to say that I loved it! It was really demanding and I had to stop for a break a couple times but it turned out to be a very motivating experience. It gave me so much positive energy I couldn't believe it. There were more similar workouts and I was doing them at least 4 times a week. After a couple of those workouts something strange happened - I started to like myself. My body image didn't even change but my self-confidence was in a much better condition. As a person who used to struggle with bullying and eating disorders in middle school, I happen to feel worthless every now and then and I usually hate to look at myself in the mirror.
But those workouts help me to cope with that and after a month of doing them regularly I feel better than ever with myslef. Sure, I sometimes still feel bad about how I look but dance workouts give me motivation and help me realize that maybe I sometimes feel worthless and ugly but it doesn't mean that this is who I am.

Creativity - Valentine's Day
Okay, it's going to be a really short and quick reflection, because I know that people usually want to throw up while hearing those two evil words - VALENTINE'S DAY.
I'm not a big fan of this holiday as well, but having a boyfriend obliges to ignore all those awful pink decoration that are literally everywhere and to focus on the good part of this event.
This year I decided to create something really personal for a gift for my boyfriend, so I prepared him a mixtape of our favourite songs and a Valentine's card with Robert Makłowicz (we really like him for some reason) - all created by me from the beginning to the end.
I have to say it wasn't that easy to accomplish. Making a mixtape for someone else than me is quite a challenge because it demands to remember about someone else's music taste and not focusing on mine. Moreover, my computer didn't want to work with me, so the whole process of recording the songs on the CD and designing the card was very problematic. But I managed to do it! And honestly, I am very proud and happy with it. I created something all by myself and put much effort in it, while I could've bought something in the city centre and be ready in 10 minutes. I also discovered that I'm pretty good in making mixtapes :)
PS. He liked the gift very much!

Activity - Running
I seriously hate running when it's cold outside. This winter I decided to give it a try, so I went running twice and now I'm even more than sure that it's not for me. But happily the weather is getting nicer and spring is coming really fast! That's why my goal for upcoming few months is to train running more often. Why? Because I want to take part in a marathon in the summer which is going to be quite a challenge, but at least I will have a reason to train harder and harder.
