I started learning Pirates of the Caribbean by Jarrod Radnich a few weeks ago, and can only play the piece at a very slow speed in broken intervals. My goal is to be able to play it fluently at a speed of around 100. MEASURABLE - I will record myself playing every week until I am able to play it with few mistakes and at the speed of around 100. ACHIEVABLE - This is quite a challenge for me as 100 bpm is extremely fast. For example, a difficult aspect to nail is the rapid chromatic scales, and the rapid changing of chords. My way of practicing the piano is to break down the piece into different sections and focus on one each time, and then play the whole piece several times with increased speed every time. I also attend piano lessons outside of school every week, so my teacher will help me improve bit by bit. RELEVANT - In middle school, I stumbled upon the video of Jarrof Radnich performing Pirates of the Caribbean, and was fascinated by the piece, sadly without the skills to practice it. But now I can work to play it myself. I also believe that through practicing this single piece, I will improve on several important piano skills such as the chromatic scales, arpeggios, speed and power. TIMEBOUND - This goal will take me 3 months to complete.

I will be able to tell by checking whether I did something every time an event happens. I have enough time to do every event, so this is achievable. This will help raise awareness regarding human rights and provide service for people with their rights violated through advocation. One example of this is asking people to write petitions for fair treatment of Ahmed Mansoor, who was imprisoned due to speaking out against human rights violations and has had to go on strike to protest inhumane conditions in the prison. With enough petitions, Amnesty hopes that he will be released since he was only arrested for speaking out. Each event will help advocate for people that had their human rights violated. I will do this for the next three months.
