Hey guys! It's Lindsey, here with my 1st orientation blog. Today wasn't really the best day but, not the worst. Meaning, I thought today would've been worse but, it wasn't. We started off the day by setting up and it was lowkey stressful because some people(including me) forgot some things in the room. We practiced one last time and before you know it, we were all racing outside to greet pohakea and ewa elementary. I saw alot of familiar faces and got alot of hi's. We started off with mikka welcoming and doing introductions. Then, tristiny with programs, then raquel with uplink, then chanel with isa, then shanel with clubs etc. yk js like how we all rehearsed. As they were speaking the rest of us got changed into our tour clothes. Once we had the tour, it was sorta iffy. Since the cafe wasn’t full we all shared tables. Me and mikka had a group from pohakea and I honestly think I did mediocre. I forgot to mention a few things and I didn’t keep track of the 6th graders in the back. However, I think my volume really improved, which is pretty good ig. Once we got back from tours, we all immediately changed into our fashion show clothes. Before fashion show, was bell schedule and I was 5! We then, had fashion show. I need to work on my energy but, I honestly had fun time up on stage. Once we wrapped things up with that, mjay talked about communications, ahled talked about fee payment and mikka wrapped things up. Mr. Ing also came up on stage to address a few more thing. As we finished, we all raced to door again to say thank you for coming n’ all that. We cleaned up everything and I helped by rolling, carrying and putting away a few cords. Oh, I also lost my I.D. with my keys and I was looking ALL day for them but, luckily I found them hehe.
Highlights and Lowlights. There were many highlights and lowlights for today. One highlight today was, fashion show. This was a highlight for me because, I found it the most exciting part of orientation since, we got to dance to such a nice theme and choreography taught by myself, ahled, jasmine and amber. One lowlight for me was, tour. This was a lowlight for me because, like I’ve mentioned before I thought I could’ve done better with remembering little things and being more responsible with the 6th graders.
A lesson I can learn for today is, be more SELFLESS. Meaning, don’t be selfish and have empathy. The reason why I choose this to be my lesson for the week is because, I thought it really matched with what went on today. If I had been more selfless, the 6th graders would’ve had a better tour and understanding of the school at the moment. In the future, I will learn to be more selfless.
Overall, I would say our 1st orientation went alright! Meaning, we all did okay however, we all need to fix little mistakes. Things such as noise volume in the dressing room, changing quicker, etc. I could tell the 6th graders didn’t seem as interested as I thought they would be but, yk it’s whatever. I’m just gonna say, watching and performing are two VERY DIFFERENT things. Honestly, I much rather enjoyed performing instead of watching because, I get to be apart of helping out students! Anyways, I’m super excited and frankly a little scared for next orientation but until then, SEE YA SOON:))
