Hello ‘Ilima      As the quarter winds down, we are as tired as ever and excited for the break. But let’s look back at this crazy quarter with just so many different things happening. First of all, the GTs arrived. I was so happy for them to be here because I knew all of them from my elementary Enrichment program which was fun. One of them was one of my good friends and I got to mentor him. It was fun and a bit exhausting to teach them all of the things they had to learn but the result was amazing because they got to become great workers. There were some bumps in the road but everything turned out great. Second, we got a whole lot of yearbook done. My page was 7th Grade Teams and I was able to finish it. Going out to all of the classes and taking pictures was really fun and watching the page get better and better until the end was very satisfying for me. We also had the first recognition night and it was so fun to watch all my friends go up to stage and get their (f...

 Hello ‘Ilima      Another week goes by and we are just a couple days away from break. I’m so excited and this past week has been good. I finished up my yearbook page which I spent the whole week on. Some classes were really difficult to get pictures of because it was usually too dark but it all worked out in the end. I can’t wait for the finished product. Then, we had a science project this week. We basically had to find a way to terraform Mars with and then have to present it. My group’s idea was a full on operation to build factories on Mars. The presentation went well and the other group’s ideas were also good. The NHD project is at the point that we can start turning it in and I have been working on improving it so then I can put it into competition. We also had to try out a new curriculum in ELA which was boring. It was so long and they asked for too many things. At least I got the extra credit. The cover picture for the yearbook was starting to get made and I ...

 Hello ‘Ilima     This past week has been exhausting to say the least. Events from Monday seem like decades ago. But it has all been meshing finely. First of all, we had made winter decorations for A101 and I really like mine. It is a scene of snowman surrounding a present and it is amazing. But it is very fragile. Then, this was my first week working box and I was so nervous. I was told the different things I had to do and then I was strapped in. It went pretty good and I don’t think I made any mistakes which will make me fell better next time I work box. Next, I have a fun story about friendship. This was on Friday and my friend had to go to the bathroom. I was waiting for him and all of a sudden, the bus started coming on the campus. I called my friend but he didn’t pick up and from across the campus I saw him enter the bathroom. So I started sprinting to the bathroom to get to him immediately. But 2 unfortunate things would happen. First, my IDs all fell onto the grou...

 Hello ‘Ilima     This week has ISA bowling and what a time it was. It was on Friday and most of leadership participated in it. It took a long time for the bus to come but when we got on, another school was also on the bus. I was hating it already and then everyone started to sing. Now I did sing along but still. The bus ride there was fine with not a lot actually happening. When we got there, we went to our place and we got the game plan. I was going to bowl with the other girls in my period and we were playing on lane 18. There was going to be 3 games in total and the highest score for each category wins. I was so confident going in but everything was going horribly. I couldn’t hit the pins because the ball was going to the right side when I didn’t want it to and would go off. I was getting so mad and the problem was only discovered 2 1/2 games in. So my bowling experience wasn’t the best but the whole team did really good. This week was also very rainy. After school ac...
