Orientation Blog 1 (Holomua)

Today was a really big day. It was our first orientation for this year, and as usual Holomua gets their own orientation since Holomua is pretty big. All the hard work we did, to practicing speeches to making banners to practice to practice to practice it's finally the day we get to display our hard work. In the morning when the homeroom bell rang we watched cctv then made sure A101 and A102 was good for the broadcast. We settled in for a while in the cafe, Then time passed by and it was already 8 something and we seen buses coming, me, rhea, shayna and joshua welcomed them as they entered the gates to Ilima, while the rest of the leadership stood by the door. When everyone was settled in and orientation was about to start all of us went to the back to get ready and prepared. They're wasn't that much holomua students in the cafeteria like last year, it was much smaller but in the back of the stage I was getting kind of nervous but I turned out pretty good, overall orientation was really smooth. First Rhea went on she introduced the SBG first, then me the 8th grade class office, when I first went out, everyone's eyes were on me, it was nervous in the beginning but I got use to it. I was nervous because when they stare at you, but after that I was fine. Then joshua went up, and did his pretty girl rock. I think it's good we added these changes, like the cougar and eagle noises and the price tag song and pretty girl rock it makes the crowd more entertained. Then it was shayna, shayna explained her dues/fee's. When I heard her say my name my heart was racing, but when I went up I felt fine again. I talked about how in Ilima we communicate. After my speech I felt really good and reliefed right after. Then chachie went up, caa caaaw! Then the tour. First, I got confused because everyone find's their table so fast and when I go out there is like no table left!! So I paired up with Melani. Me and her had a small group which was really good and their behavior was really fantastic, we showed them the nine stops, but when we went in the chorus room we only played one song since we were running out of time. I was the last class to get out of the cafe and the last to come back. My group asked questions at each stops which makes me feel good, because I know they are paying attention and are really involved in the school. I asked who's going Ilima, they all raised their hands except one lol. I notcied this year these sixth graders are really short. And, one guy asked is there bullies? I found that cute. But I told them don't worry you'll be taken care of in good hands. Overall the tour was really really smooth! But next time we have to work on our timing. I also asked them which building is which, and talked to them in A102. Then the periods, shanice did her speech and I was supposed to be period 2, but josh took my number, so instead I was period 3. Then after that we did dresscode and the dance.I did dresscode on tam and king, and myself it went great, then we did our period dance. Then, our buyou dance. I hope everyone started at the same time. Then we stayed in a line for any questions. Overall the holomua day time orientation was really smooth and fun! I'm so happy we get to do this on thursday, with new people. We ran short on time during the day, because the wiki bell rang. But it was all gee. Then it was 6:30pm, lordjezzuzz. Hardly anyone came. And none of them were from holomua, thats cryaycray!! There were like 8 parents from not holomua and the band people, and the administration that only came to the orientation. It was just like a practice for me. It was a practice for me to talk infront of crowds, also this is good practice for when I say my graduation speech. Tonight was pretty good too, at least it went smooth but this time we also ran out of time. But it's okay. (: I really liked orientation this year, it was an amazing experience to do for the second time. I'm glad i'm in leadership. ♥ I just loved today! Hope thursday will go better and smoother! Because you know what they say, ThUggLyffF~
