Learning Outcome
Activities
Increased awareness of your
Guitar Lessons: I didnt expect
own strengths and areas for
myself to be able to learn guitar
growth
so fast and specially to be able
to play along other musicians.
When I started to write songs I
discovered that I was capable of
much more and that if y kept
learning my guitar skills I could
keep improving my own musical
material.
Elderly Home- Females and
Males CSP Group: at first I
thought I wasnt going to be
able to treat old women, this
means brushing their hair,
helping them to eat, etc.
However I managed to do this
and without any problems.

Alejandro Chiriboga CAS

Reforestation CSP Group: It

completely changed my way of
knowing towards service, it
gave me an awareness towards
my actions and how I can
improve my service towards the
environment through
reforestation.
Band Practice: I didnt expect
my self to play along other
musicians at start and I was
completely able to during
practice.
Football: I thought my physical
state was good enough to play
an entire match, however I
wasnt able to which gave me an
awareness towards my health,
making me realize that I have to
improve my fitness.
Gym: It gave me awareness
towards my physical state as
well, I was terrible compared to
the rest of the people and I
definitely needed an
improvement.
Undertaken new challenges

Guitar Lesson: A clear new

challenge for me was playing
live on stage, both in the school
and with friends. It is completely
different as in playing alone, I
had to overpass my nerves and
just do it. Another challenge
would be to learn different
chords according to genres, like
jazz and blues.
Elderly Home Females and Males
CSP group: To help the elder eat
and to help them in the
bathroom. This happened for
both males and females.

Alejandro Chiriboga CAS

Reforestation CSP Group: To

plant trees under extreme
weather conditions (fog).
Football: To play official matches
against other teams. To last a
complete 90 minute match.
Gym: To put my body under a
complete diet, to lift a heavier
weight each time according to
my physical state and
development.
Planned and initiated activities

Guitar Lessons: For each lesson

the teacher planned what I was
going to practice, however I had
to plan what I was going to with
my band and what songs we
were going to rehearse and play
on stage. For my initiated
activities I learned how to play
blues, jazz, rock, etc.
Elderly home Males and Females
CSP Group: For males CSP group
I had to plan each activity, this
involved bringing books for the
elders to read and dividing
students according to their roles
etc. We as a team also had to
plan the meals we were going to
take. For the females CSP group,
I also had to plan the activities,
this involved hair brushes and
nail paint in order for the
students to treat the women. I
also had to plan the meal plan.
Reforestation: I had to plant a
minimum of 10 trees, however I
ended up planting far more
trees.
Band Practice: I had to plan the
dates in which we were going to
practice and where exactly we
were going to perform. Band

Alejandro Chiriboga CAS

practice all ways ended up on a
jam session, which ended with
us gaining new material for our
songs.
Football: We had different
activities every day, however in
each day we ended up playing
football. Some days we did
physical training and other days
we did Skill practice.
Gym: I had to plan my daily
routine, and do the exercises
according to the plan. For
example, Monday is all ways
chest, therefore I had to do
chest inclined press etc.
Worked collaboratively with
others

Guitar Lessons: In a jam, as a

guitar player and a musician,
you have to work along other
musicians; this involves
maintaining in time and not
failing to play inside the pattern
of chords, it is a trust thing.
Elderly home Males and Females
CSP group: Apart from the fact
that I had to work
collaboratively with my
schoolmates, I had to work
specially with the elders, this
applies for both males and
females, because in order for
the treatment to work, I had to
be extremely collaboratively
with the elders otherwise it
wouldnt function.
Reforestation CSP Group: I had
to help my schoolmates dig and
plant the tree, it was a group
work and we all had to work
together.
Band Practice: This is probably
one of the hardest ones because
you have to be able to listen and

Alejandro Chiriboga CAS

be very opened minded towards
the rest of the band members.
In order for a jam session to
work or a song practice we have
to be on time and a mutual
understanding must take place.
Football: As in all teams, you
have to work with your team in
order to win/ achieve a goal. IN
a football match or practice you
have to work collaboratively
with others.
Gym: There will be moments in
were people ask you to help
them doing an exercise such as
lifting a weight, team work is
also required at the gym.

Shown perseverance and

commitment in your activities

Guitar Lessons: I have misses

only one guitar lesson because I
was really sick, other than that
Ive been punctual on every
other lesson. Apart from the fact
that I love playing guitar, I felt I
had to go to every class in order
to improve, and when Im on my
house I practice like an hour
minimum every day.
Elderly home Males and Females
CSP Groups: I had to go to super
maxi to buy the food we were
going to use for the elders, also
commitment was clearly shown
simply by helping the elders in
everything they needed,
specially while going to the
bathroom.
Reforestation: Apart from the
horrible weather, the freezing
hands and the blinding fog, I
managed to plant more trees
than expected and achieve my
goal.

Alejandro Chiriboga CAS

Band Practice: I didnt skip a

single band practice and in my
house I tried to create new
songs and riffs, potentially good
material for the band during my
own time in order for the band
to work.
Football: I didnt miss a single
lesson, and whenever I had a
match I would be on time and
ready to play in whatever role
our director asked.
Gym: The gym does not work
without a commitment, this
means diet, and not missing a
single day at the gym, this
includes Fridays.
Engaged with issues of global
importance

Guitar Lessons: Playing guitar,

from my point of view, is really
important because it maintains
a culture. To learn guitar, you
have to learn prior skills, which
are carried along the decades,
this skills and techniques are
part from history, and it is
important that this skills and
techniques are not lost
throughout the ages.
Elderly home Males and Females
CSP groups: In Ecuador, some
families are so poor they can no
longer take care of their
parents/elders and they send
them to a charitable elder home.
We as students went to help on
whatever the nuns needed help,
and I saw other students from
other schools there as well. It is
of extreme importance to help
this because from my point of
view, the elders should be the
ones with the greatest amount
of respect, love and caring.

Alejandro Chiriboga CAS

Reforestation: It is known that
deforestation is a big deal
worldwide and in Ecuador
organizations are uniting in
order to build the forest back
again. We helped this case and I
a willing to do it again for the
rest of my life.
Band Practice: In our songs we
expresses our fears and our
issues, most of these are the
reflection of the problems in my
country such as the
government, and through our
songs we reflect a matter of
importance and awareness
towards this and we help art
expand and grow.
Considered the ethical
implications of your actions

Guitar Lessons: Ethics has a lot

to do with musicians, the songs
expresses political, economical
and social functions. Music
portrays different cultural ideas
and it is important to learn
about them and to defend what
you belief is ethically right.
Elderly home for Males and
Females groups: I think it is
ethical to treat the elders with
respect and love and that is
what I did, I tried to be as
helpful as possible and with
maximum amount of respect.
This people are no less than I no
matter their ethnicity and
background and one thing I tried
to portray to the rest of my
schoolmates was that we are all
equal and that we should treat
them with the complete respect
and love they deserve.
Reforestation: I cleaned my
mess after I finished my job, this
means putting my chips bag on

Alejandro Chiriboga CAS

a proper recycling bin. And not
doing this only during the treat
but outside as well.
Band Practice: To respect the
band members and to be ethical
on our lyrics.
