First we planned the activity and gave responsibilities to everyone. This activity was an issue of global importance, as it was about environment concerns.

Day 1: Topic was Environment and pollution. Responsibility of managing the assembly was given to my classmate Shradha Wakode. She asked me say the prayer. I was happy with the sweat little responsibility I was given. Praying is good thing which helps you to maintain your calm just like meditating. Plus it enhance your mind power and gives you strength because you know someone is always present to take care of you.

Day 2: Topic was Climate change and Natural disaster effecting our environment. Responsibility of managing the assembly was given to me and my friend Jaidev Pahade. I was very excited about this assembly as I had the opportunity to show my mic skills. Plus I got the opportunity to explain my schoolmates about climate change, a very interesting topic. Just like every assembly we had prayer. Then my friend Kaustubh Murmare presented a thought by Mahatma Gandhi. My classmate Himanshu acquainted us about the current affairs. Then I and Jaidev started our showstopper our presentation my topic was Climate change. I am well acquainted with the topic but I found out that many of the students were not. There are two types in giving presentation first one is explaining everything keeping it boring, the other one is which I choose interacting with the audience, asking them questions, using sense of humor. I asked them questions about specific topics e.g. what is Climate Change? What is the cause of Climate change? What is Global Warming? What are the causes of Global warming? I showed perseverance and commitment as I was responsible for the day.

Day 3: Topic was How to control and minimize global warming and other harmful factors. Responsibility of managing the assembly was given to Himanshu Halve and Rucha Verma. My friend Himanshu asked me to present the news. As IB students I think we should be aware of current affairs. I felt like a news reporter and I present myself as a news reporter too. It was a fun experience telling the headlines. I myself love watching news, how they present it in their studio and sometimes they chance to go to different places and cover the event (it may be a natural disaster, election, social event and even a music concert). This activity increased my awareness of the world I live in and I also founded an area for growth.

Day 4: The event was Tree plantation and we called it Green Day. Our CAS coordinator give all of us different responsibilities. I was given the responsibility of plantation done by grade 1 and 2 and our director G. C. Rao sir and DP coordinator Gopalraj sir and to say a thought. Everybody gathered at the amphitheater with their saplings, ready to help to the environment. As the starting part of the assembly I said the thought to make everybody's day a good one. I was very happy that I was able to help the environment on my side, as CAS say think globally act locally. I also planted a lilium, there was no limit to my happiness. I never thought I will get so much joy planting a sapling.
