Second Week Of School

Daaang, this week went by pretty fast! Anyway, so this week we started off with even periods, for period 2 we finished up sharing bio cubes, period 4 we had star testing and omg im kinda okay with my GE thingy i guess, i kinda wish i got higher, but its  my fault for guessing on SOME on purpose -.- okay, period 6, we took notes on volanoes and yeaaah. Odds, so for period 1 math. We just did reviews of addition & adding with decimals, easy for now. Period 3 is Social Studies, we took a test on the US Capitals, im surprised i got an A. Then period 5, we took  notes on Interview tips, as in what to do while having an interview yeah.

My highlight for this week was Period 2's meeting. We basically shared our feelings towards each other, well some were shy with admitting things but im sure we are gonna become much more comfortable later. Another of my highlight for this week was the lesson Mr.Ing gave us. The lessons really had me, i've thought a lot about it & i've been staring at the lessons every time i come pass them, like i feel guilty because sometimes i really dont think of it in ways of what the lesson was teaching us. But yeah, the lessons really had me thinking of what kind of person i am, and what i shouldnt be, etc. 

The Lesson that I learned this week is to be more comfortable & confident of myself, like when sharing bio cubes, im pretty sure i was loud but i didnt sound confident of myself, or what i was trying to say. I think i should feel more confident with myself & what i want to tell others because if im not confident it would just show how weak i am, also because i have a very loud voice & its like for nothing, because i use it for the wrong reasons, like with friends im loud but presenting things i become very soft. 

Voices. The voice that i usually find myself using depends on who you are, if im comfortable with you then i'll be loud and clear. Im pretty loud when i explain or describe things though. But sometimes i talk way too fast.. If im not comfortable with you, ill just talk much more softer than usual & i won't really talk. The voice used for intramurals that i should be using is my voice that i use to talk with my friends. My voice i use when im trying to explain things, because if im not loud then no one would listen to me when thats the important thing because some students are gonna be really dumb that they wont bother to even pay attention. The difference between how i normally speak is that im not as confident when talking to a big crowd because if i do talk loud i feel like people wont listen to me and im just gonna feel embarassed, but talking with my friends im fine because i know they heard me since i have a loud voice. 

First Week Of School ^---^

So this week went by really slow! I thought it would goo by pretty quick. There are actually alot of 7th graders than i thought, but all of them are sooo tall! & honestly, some are so disrespectful. Like some act like they been in Ilima forever, they push me down & tell me what to do, likeee i guess! On Monday was intense, i worked ID's for that whole morning & i cant believe i got throught it(x looool. I also worked ID's on Tuesday, the lines were long, i had to work pretty quick too. It wouldve been better if we were prepared for this but even Mr.Ing didnt know we were supppose to handle this. But i had a fun time going to my classes, i like most of my classes, mostly cause people i know is there, yeah. Wednesday -Friday period 2 worked Lounge, but we didnt open that yet so we helped Afterschool sales, afterschool sales goes by really quick. its like only 5 minutes maybe even less! barely anyone comes in too.

My highlight of this week was on Wednesday when Korey sang one part of a song, that was my highlight cause i couldnt stop laughing after. I even laugh till now, just typing this im laughing. Another highlight is on Thursday when i got to hang out afterschool with Zhaslyn, Anna, Tierra, and Jayna, We all went to Pandas to go eat & crusied around Safeway, i had a good week. My Lowlight of this week is probably Period 5. My period 5 has this duude thats obsessed with me, and thanks to Laila, he leaves me alone now. But in class is Yuri & shes just sooo offensive, and she disrespects the teachers, it gets me soo frustrated when she interrupts the teacher, sad though cause shes a new teacher & stuff.

Lesson of this week is to dont let other get in the way of you because its important to worry about yourself first, if anyone is in your way or an obstacle, learn to over come them because being stuck there wont get you anywhere. You have to find a way to get out of it  fix it. Dont just let the problem sink in even more, this just reminds me of last year when i kept putting myself in alot of problems where it would be hard to solve & i would have a hard time getting back on track again. & chyahhh, Have a good week guys.

Last Week Of Summer.

This week, we finished up Schedule Pick Up. It was really slow this week, barely any customers. LOL. and the Tropical Storm? I knew it wouldnt touch us. But this week has soooo humid! Ughhh.  Also, on Thursday we had to bring props to make a Dress Code Violation video for 7 & 8th graders cause its more exciting if we show a video instead of the teachers reading the planner like usual. But before all of this, we had a meeting or lecture with Mr.Ing. He basically talked about an expectation of a leader, we talked about what not to do & those things, and like we have to take this program serious, dont take it for granted. We talked about how we feel after being here for a month or longer. We even talked about mistakes and stuff like that. Then Friday we went to the Ala Moana beach park, aka Magic Island. lol. I had fun today, bonding with a few people. im so sure i got black ;(

My highlight of this week was obviously yesterday!(x i had alot of fun. So, Me, Laila, Korey, Macky & a few other people decided to try and swim to the reef because we saw Alesia, Jahjah & Jayde go. But it turned out to be a fail because i had to be paranoid &  i swear i saw a turtle head pop out the water about 2x so i started freaking out but we were SO CLOSE to reef, then i started swimming back & even the others, and like we all began to freak out lol(x and it took forever reaching the shallow side, seriously. We tried going back a few times too, but failed anyway. Then we got out the water & went to the trees to go swing on vines, aha. that was funny!(x after we ate we had i think half an hour to swim alittle longer, we tried going back to the reefs one last time, but i had to be all paranoid so i didnt follow the others, i just stayed in the shallow, but Macky, Korey & Jahjah, and Alesia, etcc. they went to the reef lol. i was like the bad luck xD lmaao. but anyway, that was my highlight.

What i learned this week is to understand people more, this week for me & a few others, we assumed things, also that other perrson, and it was just wrong cause the more we didnt talk about it or held it in it wouldve caused alot of drama, and we didnt want that. So, we had a talk to clear things up, and i learned that we shouldnt have said anything stupid, because we really didnt need to say those unnecessary things, we shouldve kept things to ourself because we didnt know alot about that person yeno, we just. omg. Lesson is to understand someone before you get to judging. all im saying.

Collecting Feeees ~Week 1.

Heey Bloggers, im so late. Pooop. Okay, so for this week we continued doing schedule pick up for those who didnt pick up their things on the first day & stuffy. Ohh, i got to work ID's for the first time in a long time. I gues i still remember how to work it, but i still made a few mistakes. I got to also work for Uniforms. & writing on a receipt again, signing etc lol. brings back alot of memories from last year(x ahaaa, this week was really fun. Part of Period 6 & 2 is getting closer! We've been making challenges & stufffs. If anything, our Youtube Channel is called " Double Wimps " you guys should check us out. Sucks for me, i havent been getting any sleep. Anyway, before i got offically accepted into this program i had to make myself a flyer of something that would remind about a talk that me & Mr.Ing had, i got a quote, the quote reminds me of making sure i wont be bad as i was last year. & stuff like that.

The highlight of my week is getting along with Period 6. We would add Period 4 but they werent with us when we first created " Double Wimps. " Although, we could still let them be part of us, idk. But were getting pretty close, i mean doing the challenges together, were always laughing and stuff. I think me & Korey got close, like we were close before in Elementary sorta & a little last year, but now we talk almost daily. LOL. Can you guys watch out videos on youtube please(x get us on Ellen, im joking. Our first challenge was the Soda & Mento Challenge, jeeeze. That burned out mouth man.. and korey's throat was hurting but we were all just laughing at her, lol. Then we did Baby Food Challenge. Never eat Brocoli Carrots with Cheese, like omg. That was too nasty yoo. Everytime i burped, i could stilll taste it!

The lesson i learned this week is to be careful with money, because one mistake with money can cause alot especially because the office depends on us to handle these stuff. One of the leaders made a mistake with the money, i dont know the full story, but just knowing it had to involve Mr.Ing talking to the group kinda made me think it was a big thing. Another lesson, is not to forget about the key. Keeping the doors locked is important incase someone comes to the school & tries to wreck things yenooo, it also reminds me back to last year when the key got lost & etcetc.

im tireeed, im a few minutes late. sorry. Byeee bloggers.

Second Week & Schedule Pick Up

Monday: To start off the week, first we finished up our bio cubes. All i had to do during that time was print out my picture & paste it. After, i just help some of the other students with the computer and cutter since i've had some experience before. After, we went to painting the banners. This was sort of hard cause the paint brushes was hard to use on the skinny part of the words on the banner, i prefer using the sponge brushes better though. Last, we went to the laptops to go on blogger just to check if we were following everyone. I went on first but i got off cause i didnt know if  i was in leadership officially yet. So, instead i just let petriese go on and i helped her a little. To finish up Mr.Ing showed us about blogs and eyahh. We got dismissed early, so Me, Laila, Korey, Cheana, Petriese & Alesia went to Baskin Robins and walked down to the swings(x then we went to the Community Park.

Tuesday: So, today we had a tour of A102, basically just to know where all the other things are since everything from A103 was moved to A102 now. When our period finished the tour, we talked a little. Me, Daisy & Roxi tried talking to the others about not being shy cause everyone in leadership isnt as close as last year. I mean, last year everyone got close so easy & fast. Anyway, after that we moved to ID's & just practiced the whole time. The ID's are different from last year though, its like so much better. loool. Then we went to the Office & took out everything from the cabinets. Just looked at where things were at & the things were already labeled so yeah. Then when we had to put everything back, but in order! After, we got some time to finish our bio cubes. But i just sat there cause i finished mine. Then we got our planners & just talked about Welcome Social & Schedule Pick Up for friday.

Wednesday: Today, started sharing bio cubes. Well, i pretty much failed. But its okaay, atleast i finished. Only half of the people shared at that time though, then we went to the cafe to go set up for schedule pick up! Im working in the lunch payment area, basically all i do is check if the info is correct on the envelope & yeahhh. When we finished, we went back to A101 & finished sharing everyones bio cubes. It was a short day. After, some of us took our ID pictures already, i wouldve took mine but like. Im not even in the ID machine thingy yet lol. When we all finished, Me, Korey, Macky &  Roxi, had a small Mcdonalds date. LOL. & yeahhhhhh.

Thursday: Okaaayyy, so like since our period did bad we had to redo the " Schedule Pick Up " Poster. Buzehhh uhm then we had a little free time, so a few of us had a balloon & we all started playing with it by pushing it up making sure it wouldnt touch the ground, loool. Then when Mr.Ing got back we went to the cafe and started setting up for schedule pick up. i noticed some people were mostly just standing around when they couldve been helping. But its okay, people should just start helping more & yuhh.

Schedule Pick Up Blog 

For Schedule Pick Up, i worked Lunch Payments. As easy as it sounds, it wasn't. Because the line just kept getting longer  the pressure was on me because i had an older lady working with me but for some reason all the customers went to my side, and most the time she wasn't there. She had to go back to office at times to help them also, i worked alone most of the time. like duuude, and so many parents were complaining because they didnt know what they were paying for when the receipt said " MT " which stands for Meal Tracker. So, i just had to be patient cause they didnt know etcc. ugh. 

What i learned in this assignment was to know what you're doing & keep your customers a priority. You have to know what you're doing because customers could ask you questions & if you don't know the  asnwer to it, they would lose trust in us yenooo. Were also representing our program & class. You have to keep your customers a priority because the point of this was for the customers or students to get what they need done. You can't eat food before helping them or go on your phone. Also, you can't socialize with the customers if there a long line behid them.  That's what i realized after looking at the other side of the cafe where at some point one or some of them would go on their phone or eat, or if they see their friends the would hug or just have a small convo, not realizing there are other people you gave to help first.

The best part of this week was afte Schedule Pick Up when getting a reward, and eating Mcdonalds. I think our class really had bond alittle. Another highlight of my week other than that was getting to see my Ilima friends again, i was happy, they were happy. I know alot of them didnt really expect me to come back or anything. But yeah, other than that i had a good week with my Leadership friends & getting to know most of them now.

( We got one of the customers to act out with  us. LOL.)

Bio Cube.

Okay so this Blog is the assignment blog, obviously lol. Anyway, our first assignment was to make a cube with six different sides. One side is your significance, thats what most important to you, another side is quotation of your favorite quote & why, then another side is obstacle, you put what stops you from being succesful, another side is back ground, basically things about you we should know i guess. And personality, for this side you just put your characteristics. Then a decent picture of yourself. 

A highlight to this assignment for me is when we shared our cubes, this was a highlight because i got to learn something new about everyone! Well, everyone learned something about everyone & yeah, lol. Its nice to know something new about someone(x Okay, low light was probably the fact that i messed mine up. I got my bio cube & it got smashed at the park, so it was hard for me to wrap it sorta, also cause when i started pasting things on each side, i thought that i should add a frame so like i got pastel colors & cut them into random shapes & made it some what look like a frame. & eyaah. 

What i learned from this assignment is to be more careful with your belonging because you could either lose them or it could get damged. I also learned to be more careful about doing projects. A smart idea i couldve done was to see how it would look before pasting the random shapes on my cube. I think if i didnt paste the random shapes it wouldve looked neater, also if i was more careful with my cube it wouldnt have gotten smashed. 

GLO #1 The ability to be responsible for one’s own learning: I met this GLO because i finished this cube on time, it took me about 3 days to finish this & i also did this on my own.

GLO #2 The understanding that it is essential for human beings to work together : So for this assignment i had to share my bio cube to the class & that was how i was a Community Contributor. 

GLO #3 The ability to demonstrate critical thinking and problem solving: I met this GLO by probllem solving because when my box got smashed it was too late to get another box, so i just taped it all togethwe which made it look much better

GLO #4 The ability to recognize and produce quality performances and quality products: I tried my best to make my cube look neat by making sure that each side of my paragraphs were nice & the way i cut. Also, Mr.Ing wanted us to use clear to tape & for my edges to be more pointy, i taped up each corner. 

GLO #5 The ability to communicate effectively: For this GLO, during my presentation i had to present my cube and make sure i was clear, i wasnt that loud though, but im sure most of the students heard me. 

GLO #6 The ability to use a variety of tecchnologies effectively & ethically: I met this GLO because while making this cube i had to go on my laptop to type out all my paragraphs & stuff, and i had to also print out my picture. 

My first week.

Hey Bloggers, im back on(; i haven't done this in a while. So yeaaah, uhhh well i only worked for 1 day this whole week so i dont have that much to talk about. Ill try though, sooo yesterday i just started on my cube & it sorta upgraded!(x last year when we made cubes we used paper & it was hard cohhs it had less protection  mines was messed up, like it got dented easily & Mr.Ing said we had to cover up all the white spots but i didnt. Well this year, Mr.Ing gave everyone boxes which was easier. Because i didnt wanna make the same mistake as not covering up all the spots i just wrappped mine with gift wrapper lol(x next we went to A102 to practice how to use the music equipment. I think music is probably what i remember the most from last year. After that, we went to the Tv room, we basically just rotated 2 people on tv, then someone works the laptop & the other is the person who puts us on live and stuff. After Leadership, Me, Laila, Korey, Daisy, Cheana, Petriese & Haley went to Pizza Hut!(x Omg. we were like the loudest ones in there, haha no shame(x Then Haley & Daisy had to leave. So the rest of us went to the Park & i showed them the swings, it was really fun. then Cheana & Petriese had to leave so me, laila & korey went to the playground and yeaaah. Thats pretty much it.

What i liked about yesterday was getting to use the equipments again, i miss that. The music room changed to A102 & the microphone is alot better and easier now. And going back to TV, having that feeling of being on live talking about announcements i guess. But, i kinda forgot how to make intro for TV so im going to try and ask one of the leaders to help me out. Well what i dont like about yesterday was that my box got smashed so like, when i got home i had to fix it & i tried my best, atleast its wrapped so its not showing, but it looks sorta deformed on one side because of how it got smashed. Blahh, its okay, it still looks like a box/cube.

I learned from my interview that people can have second chances if they believe they deserve it. Im lucky i even got the chance to work yesterday. I honestly didnt expect this from Mr.Ing that he would tell me this.. I choked on my interview and i was really nervous so i really didnt know Mr.Ing would give me a chance to even work. Well hopefully i get in cause i really wanna be back into this program. Not only did i learn about second chances but i also learned from Mr.Ing that i shouldnt be focusing on proving others, but i should be proving to myself that i could do this and that. So, this what ill try to be working on this year, i will also try to be less negative about myself cohs i think thats what stops me the most.

I dont have a picture, so im going to use Roxi's. Thanks Roxi (;
