S&A General View

Hey there, fellow students! Welcome to my Service as Action (SA) hub. I'm Sandy Lee Agnolon, your go-to blogger for all things SA-related. Today, I'm dishing out the lowdown on SA, not just the basics but also some pro tips on how to make it truly impactful. Among all the topics I could explore, I picked SA because I genuinely believe it has the power to mold individuals, transcending the mere completion of tasks to leave a lasting impact on both the person undertaking it and the world around them.

The Essence of a Great SA:

Service as Action can take many forms, from projects to experiences, all aimed at positively impacting others and the local environment. It's like our secret weapon under the International Baccalaureate (IB) system, helping us grow into responsible and compassionate individuals.

To embark on a stellar SA journey, start by setting a realistic goal. Imagine your idea reaching its peak, and when you feel it's ready to hit the ground running, seek feedback. Here's a pro tip: Mr. Moll, our SA coordinator for MYP 1-3, is the go-to person for advice. Once you've gathered feedback and fine-tuned your SA, fill in the form on ManageBac. Oh, and don't forget to keep those reflections and updates flowing – Mr. Moll will be checking in on your progress.

It's like a little chain: IB manager → SA → Experiences. Stay tuned for my next blog, where I'll be diving into the nitty-gritty of publishing and editing your SAs.

Let's talk about real examplesLet's talk about real examples – the stuff that makes your SA stand out. Think volunteering, charity (like selling snacks in school and donating the proceeds), surveys, presentations, and meetings to raise awareness. These are not just checkboxes to fill; they're avenues to make a genuine impact.

So, remember, it's not just about completing tasks; it's about the journey, the impact, and the growth.
