Quarter 3 Blog

 

SUMMMARRYYY 

A lot has happened this quarter. Ranging from a lot of highs and lows, I can say that this quarter has been very odd for me. First of all, there was a lot of anxiety and stress going through me because of a variety of work I needed to complete. Also, there was orientation practice that made me physically tired. We practiced everyday, memorizing dances, ques, and all sorts of stuff for orientation. But it's for the elementary schools, so I don't mind that much anyway. But, like I said with the highs and lows, there were a lot of highs. I loved spirit week despite Leadership having to do so much for it-- penny wars and cheer-off. Watching all the teams be together and supporting each other despite them being competitive was very nice to witness, and I loved the variety of songs, creativity, and dances each and every team did. We had also finished the yearbook this quarter-- yay! We won't have to worry about taking pictures, emailing people, skipping periods to work on it, and tagging students anymore! This quarter is also the one where I started hanging out after school way more often. I stayed after school to also hang out with my friends to go to either 7/11, McDonalds, or Spoons. I enjoyed hanging out with them, and also face timing them at home whenever we had the time to. Overall, this quarter has been a bunch of highs and lows-- but, mostly highs. I hope I continue receiving high, and can't wait for the next quarter!

🌟—The Spirit Week Energy

  I absolutely loved the vibe during spirit week, especially the relay races and the cheer-off. Even though it was a lot of work for Leadership, seeing the competitive spirit mixed with genuine support between teams—and laughing until my sides hurt during the races—was the best part of the quarter.

🌟—Yearbook Completion 

I am so relieved that we finally finished the yearbook. It feels amazing to know I don’t have to skip any more classes, stress over tagging students, or hunt people down via email anymore; we can finally just breathe and enjoy the finished product.

🌧—The Academic Grind 

I felt a massive amount of anxiety and stress trying to finish my grant proposal for Science, Math, and ELA. It was incredibly frustrating to have to push myself to get everything done before the deadline when my teammates weren't contributing their fair share of the work.


🌧—Yearbook Timeline 

 Despite having completed the yearbook, the time we took to finish it and the effort put into it was not as great as I hoped. We had a lot of photos needing to be reedited, re-taken, or tagged, and we also had a lot of issues with single-photos that had to be replaced.

LESSONNNSS LEARRNNEDDD 

One main lesson I learned this week was my limits to physical exhaustion. I learned the limits of my physical stamina and the importance of pacing myself during high-intensity seasons. I realized that while I am willing to tire myself out for a good cause, I need to find better ways to recover so that I don't feel completely drained by my commitments.


Perception Vs Reality

Perception

Going through this quarter, I really did have some expectations and goals. Which some of them were to work hard for yearbook, get another 4.0 GPA or at least a 3.83 GPA, work diligently for every event, and even more. I also expected this quarter to move and go like a breeze, since the year is kinda going fast too. 

Reality

The reality of this quarter followed my reality in expectations, but also had it's differences too. Of course the quarter went like a breeze, but work was piling and piling up. More essays, CSA's, and basically more summatives for each class. I also like to add how the reality of this quarter was STRESSFUL. Grant proposals for Ms. Miya's class were due, and my team wouldn't lock in. I have to admit, some of my teammates are just plain STUPID but sometimes it's just time to face it and suck it up.

 SUMMARYY This week wasn't really as special—other than having 3 school days rather than a whole week of school 🥹. I didn't really do anything during Monday and Tuesday, other than sleeping but also going to the mall too. Other than this week not really being special—Winter Break, Christmas, and New Years Eve has much more to talk about. During Winter Break, my family and I went through a lot of shopping. Within a week or two, we've been at Ala Moana for at least 5-7 times for Christmas gifts🫩. Other than that, I came to the conclusion that Christmas isn't that fun anymore, and sometimes it doesn't feel the same. However, I mostly got a lot of things I liked for Christmas—such as clothes, new headphones, and more Lego plants. Next—New Years Eve. I stayed over at Pearl City to hang out with a couple of my old friends and also watch the fireworks. Soon after, my family and I came back to Ewa before 12:00. I also ate 12 green grapes  under the table 🥹🫰. HIGHTLIGHTS...

Weekly Blog—10/26-11/1 Summary This week was honestly not really the best week I had, it was alright overall. For example, I only spent two days in school this week before I got sick. However, it was luckily a four school day week at least. And also, explain to me why do I have EIGHT assignments in science just from missing an even day 🫩🫩. And while doing this, I have to do a NHD assignment for Mr. Cole too. Highlights Some highlights I had this week was having fun during Halloween—which is also my dad’s birthday. I also really liked my outfit for Halloween—which is Max Goof. I lowkey was aura-maxing so hard. Lowlights I mostly had a bit more lowlights than highlights this week. For example, I got sick and missed 2 days of school, so now I have more and more assignments piling up. However, I luckily finished most of them. In addition, I just lowkey feel drained from school—so I’m not really putting as much effort as I usually do in this blog. Lessons Learned (1) One lesson I learned ...

Quarter 2 Blog

 SUMMARYYYY      Quarter 2 has finally ended. I have to admit; I feel pretty relieved it has! Nothing really changed in Quarter 2 after Quarter 1; the only difference was I got more and more work to do. Especially NHD too! On the other hand, I feel like there was more summatives/tests for this quarter, so it was a bit of a challenge for me to go through, considering summatives are 60% of my grade. However, I'm happy with my grades for this quarter and semester! To be honest, I feel like I did better in Quarter 2 unlike in Quarter 1. Other than that, my role of responsibility really increased after I joined Leadership, and I'm proud of myself. I'm proud of myself that I really grew up from the start of the year, and I made a lot of friends! To add on, I have to admit that Quarter 2 was way more stressing than Quarter 1 to be honest; everything went in a faster pace, and more and more summatives were being made. I also noticed this Quarter had way too many tests also, ...
