n' thats a wrap !

wow. this year has been soo wack. id say this was the most craziest, exciting, depressing, stressful and interesting year EVER. like, not even exaggerating. some things we did this year was summer bridge, summer work days, schedule pick ups, end of the summer field trip, reunion, retreat, intra murals, halloween and  christmas decorations, picnics, turkey trot, recognition nights, spirit week, yearbook, graduation and orientation slides, orientation, awards night, isa, winter fair, graduation pictures, graduation meetings and graduation. some things i did on the side was, going to the philippines and canada, meeting new friends, joining media and street art club, earned a 3.8 - 4.0, confronted fake people and got my. im rlly going to miss some people and im rlly sad to not be able to see them next year but, hopefully the future brings us all together again.

anyways its been one hell of a year that ill never forget.

highlights and lowlights. there were many highlights and lowlights that happened this year. my biggest highlight of the year would have to be, finally finding my real friends. this was a highlight for me because, honestly i wouldnt have survived this year without them. literally. if i never met/became close to them, i really dont know where i would be today. so thank you guys. i love yall 3000. my biggest lowlight of the year was, letting people get under my skin. this was a lowlight for me because,  i personally dont think i am a strong person, emotionally. i already have negative thoughts and feelings towards myself and the fact that i let others have that same effect on me, certainly didnt help.

a lesson i will always remember from this year is, to trust in the process. meaning, just roll with whatever life has to throw at you. the reason why i choose this to be my lesson for the year is because, i think i can really remember this. throughout this year, i have really doubted not just myself but, life as well. eventually, ive come to terms with the fact that life isnt perfect but, i shouldnt worry and i can handle whatever it is thats coming to me.

glo #2, community contributor: i showed this glo by, sacrificing my time to this program and school to help out.
glo #3, complex thinker: i showed this glo by, brain storming and problem solving situations and how to get out of them.
glo #4, quality producer: i showed this glo by, faking it till i made it and putting my best foot forward, overall.
glo #5, effective communicator: i showed this glo by, working with all of my peers.
glo #6, effective and ethical user of technology: i showed this glo by, using computers/desktops to work on assignments related to my classes.

my outlook on my future from what i can tell is that, i will be an 8th grader still attending ilima intermediate but, not in leadership anymore. this will be a huge  adjustment to me as, leadership was a big part of my year. both in a good way and a bad way. id say, i still want to be busy in school and wanna make the most outta my years in middle school. therefore im going to try and join as much clubs as i would like and volunteer around the school. i also, see myself hanging with a lot of my friends whenever i have the chance. maybe, my grades will go higher or lower because my classes will seem easier or harder. who knows lol. anyways, im one, nervous yet, two excited for my future.
till we meet again !

alright.

this week was fine. monday, we had breakfast with almost everyone in the class. throughout the entire  week, ive had much free time and just worked on final projects. tuesday, was awards night and i got a few awards plus a medal:) wednesday, we cleaned the cafe. we also watched royal prodigies end of the year performance. it was awesome:) thursday, we got cement blocks and cleaned up more. we also did our 4th quarter blogs. friday, i presented my final monologue. i was super proud:) we also gave out yearbooks!

highlights and lowlights. there were many highlights and lowlights that happened this week. a highlight for me was, awards night. this was a highlight for me because, it felt nice to get a few awards for something this year:) a lowlight for me was, procrastinating on my projects. this was a lowlight for me because, in order to earn a 4.0 this quarter, i must work harder to keep up with my assignments even, till the very end.

a lesson i can learn from this week could be, finish strong. meaning, end something the way you want to end it. the reason why i choose this to be my lesson for the week is because, i thought it could really connect to how i end this year off. if i finish strong, i can make myself and others proud that i made it. next week, i will finish my leadership journey strong.

4th quarter blog

 the quarters almost up! along with that, the year! yaa yeet. this quarter was pretty challenging. however, if im being honest it went sorta better than i imagined it to be. surprising right? well its honestly the truth. a lot has happened really. some events we had were, orientation, recognition night, graduation meetings, kindness messages and awards night. orientation was my most FAVORITE thing from this quarter. without a doubt. recognition night was hard yet, fun. i wished my grades wouldve been better but, we cant all be winners right? we had games and food this time, plus the graffiti wall, so that was nice. graduation meetings were okay. even though im not graduating(yet) it could still help me out in the future. i think. kindness messages were good. i like seeing the banner full with positivity considering most of the campus has alot of negative vibes. awards night was great. it felt nice to get recognized for something other than grades. some assignments we had were life lessons and grad slides. life lessons was kinda cool. hearing all those stories honestly put me in my feels and made me think about life on a new perspective. grad slides was pretty iffy. i really shouldve worked harder on the slides and gave more time and effort to help out(more details in the next paragraph)some fun things we did was the street art club field trip and the picnic. the street art club field trip was pretty great. it was my first time looking at murals and they were really cool. some were pretty wack, some were really colorful and all thatt. we also, got to go alamoana then, the beach park! it was peaceful and i got to spend time with some important people! the picnic was a m a z i n g
i could tell everyone had a good time and there were alot of laughs shared. id say im ashamed yet, proud of myself this quarter. made some new friends, got some ones back and cut out some toxic people. i managed to overcome some family troubles and bad memories from the past. my grades are starting to improve for the better, which im pretty proud of. one hand, im so ready to finish off this year but, on the other, i still wanna hold on and make the most of my time as a 7th grader!

highlights and lowlights. there were many highlights and lowlights that happened this quarter. a highlight for me was, orientation. this was a highlight for me because, ever since my very first orientation as a 6th grader, ive always wanted to be apart of it. it might sound wack but, its the truth. so, to take part in it meant so much to me and i honestly had so much fun. not to mention, i was a choreographer:) a lowlight for me was, grad slides. this was a lowlight for me because, i made the mistake of not putting as much effort as everyone else. therefore, myself and the whole class lost a lot because of that. for example, ALL privileges, my vest, my yellows etc.

a lesson i can learn from this quarter could be, put effort and time into whatever is you do in life. meaning, try your hardest and sacrifice time for anything. the reason why i choose this to be my lesson for the quarter is because, i thought it really connected to what went on this quarter. if i had put more effort and time into i wouldnt have run into certain problems. in the future, i will put in effort and time to whatever it is i must do.

wack.

this week was super wack. monday, i finished my diva project. i also edited a few pics from banquet. smtn came up after school, which turned out to be not so great. tuesday, some ppl came frm campbell to sign in some 8th graders for future clubs. it ws okay. however after school didn't go so well  since me and my friends decided to make the dumb decision of disrupting people after school. wednesday, we had the table meeting. didnt turn out so well, because me and a few friends made ANOTHER dumb decision of not working on slides as much. which left us, being kicked out of working on slides. therefore, we needed to come up with a solution,  which we did and sorta made the situation a little bit better.  thursday, i got my vest and yellows taken away. it was hard to let go. i also needed to finish getting 15 pictures into my drive, edited and in the slides. friday, i finished doing that, which was thankfully, a good thing.

highlights and lowlights. there were many highlights and low lights that happened this week.  one highlight for me was, getting into song writing.  this was a highlight for me because, it means i discovered a new passion that i am excited to continue. one lowlight for me was,  getting things taken away from myself and others.  this was a lowlight for me because, i not only got important items taken away from me but, also i took away others too because of my stupid actions.

a lesson i can learn from this week could be, what you do, matters. meaning, know what you are doing and whos watching. the reason why i chose this to be my lesson for the week is because, i thought i really connected to what went on. if i had known what my actions can really do i wouldn't have been in the situation I was for this week. in the future, i will know whatever it is i do, matters.

bro...

this week was a pretty sucky one but, its whatever! my period had t.v. monday, there was a banquet meeting and us 7th graders were in the front of the cafe directing 8th graders. i took pictures  with my "squad" :) and for graduation. i also filmed a bunch of monologues. tuesday, we rolled up cables but, had to fix them the next day. i worked on my science project with my group but, it became super awkward when my ex bestfriend joined our group:(( wednesday, i went on tv. i was up super late working on a project that almost got thrown away the next day. how stupid of me:( we also started building bridges for teachers. thursday, i made the dumbest mistake ever right before tv, ifykyk and once again, i apologize for that  inconvenience. i also realized, i need to start working on slides more and drop everything just for that. oh, my mom also left for vegas this week. friday, i went ms. doles for advisory with jasmine and ileana. i also went to the hospital to visit a baby.


highlights and lowlights. there were many highlights and lowlights that happened this week. one highlight for me was, taking group pictures. this was a highlight for me because, i finally got a picture  with my squad:) one lowlight for me was, not showing much effort for graduation slides. this was a lowlight for me because, we all need to do our part for slides.


a lesson i can learn from this week could be, to sacrifice time. meaning, give away personal time to get important things done. the reason why i choose this to be my lesson for the week is because, i thought it really connected to what went on this week. if i had sacrificed time, i couldve helped more with grad slides. in the future, i will sacrifice time.

uhm, k....

highlights and lowlights. there were many highlights and lowlights that happened this week. one highlight for me this week was, the street art club field trip. this was a highlight for me because, it was a fun trip and i got to spend it with my friends. one lowlight for me was, having drama. this was a lowlight for me because, even tho i love it, it still stresses me out.

a lesson i can learn from this week is, know where the fakes r @. meaning, cut toxic ppl outta your life. the reason why i choose this to be my lesson for this week is because, i thought it really connected to what went on this week. if i had known where the fakes were @ originally, i could've cut them ALL out sooner. in the future, ill know where the fakes r @.

more lesson responses

3-always remember those who serve

moral: dont forget how u got, what u got. when we are awarded certain things, we often forget HOW we have them. take time to show  gratitude and appreciation to those who give by, giving back as well. sometimes even the littlest tokens of appreciation can mean alot to somebody:)

why: we were given this because, we should always take time to fully understand why we have what we have. in life we are given many blessings. sometimes its easy to forget why and how we have them. anyways, it is good to give back to those who give back as well. a simple thank u or a few loose change can really brighten someones day. you never rlly know.

connection: throughout my life, i have gotten many amazing things such as, family(blood/non-blood) and a roof over my head. i often forget how lucky i am to have all these great things. therefore, i end up not showing my appreciation. however, when im smart and dont forget, i take time to give back to those who may/may not give to me just because.

4-the obstacle in our path

moral: its always best to solve problems, rather than ignoring them. it doesnt matter whos problem it is. any type of problem could always have affects on others. be cautious and aware of what is happening and think. there is always ways to help out, you just have to take the time to actually do it!

why: we were given this because, we should always be problem solvers. there is no doubt we see issues almost everyday in our lives. we must admit, it is difficult to get past them. rather than moving on and avoiding them, we should pause for a moment  and brainstorm ways to solve the issue so that it doesnt take a deeper turn for the worst.

connection: throughout my life, i ALWAYS have obstacles stopping me. if im being honest, the first thing i do, is try to hope that things will sort themselves out and try not to pay any attention to it. since that NEVER works, i end up taking a long period of time to figure out how i can move past from it. it takes me many tries but, eventually i find a way to deal with it and end up feeling really proud in the end.

5-giving when it counts

moral: being selfless is always the better answer. putting others needs before your own, can really help someone out. even if it affects yourself, reflect about how much better it could be for someone else if you did a certain thing.

why: we were given this because, we have many opportunities to make someones life better. whether or not you know so, your sacrificing your needs for somebody else. imagine how much that can rlly effect someone by, not just from what u did but, why you did it.

connection. throughout my life, i have always tried to be the most selfless person i could ever be no matter what. whether its giving away my own money or my clothing, as long as that person can benefit and is happy, thats all that rlly matters to me.
