➊st Quarter Blog☻

This is my very first quarter blog, ayyye. So much things went on this quarter and it went by fast. One of the things that I accomplished this quarter was keeping my grades higher than a C, I got A's and one B. Keeping my grades higher than C was probably difficult for me because there was one point where I got 3 B's and the rest A's, so I struggled but not as much as others. Each week we rotated to a different job such as IDs, Music, and CCTV. I got to experience each one and I would say music was the hardest job I did ? It was the hardest job (I think ?) to me because we would have to watch the music play and make sure to change it to a different song before an ad commercial starts. We would also have to watch our volume of voice because we need to get the announcements out clearly for everyone to understand. One of the exciting things for me that happened this quarter was that I became secretary (nobody ran against me but it still made me happy because I became secretary for 7th grade). I had many responsibilities such as initialing Welcome Social forms to know that the students have PD or have money and handing out yearbook pictures. Since I'm the new 7th grade class secretary, there will be obstacles for me in the future and I'll be having responsibilities I never had before. This first quarter was very interesting I would say, I think a little drama stirred up in leadership such as people disliking each other *cough, cough* smh. Hopefully quarter 2 will be way better than this quarter, let's all pray to Jesus LOL. 

There's many different things in intermediate that I didn't expect. In Holomua (my elementary school), we only had one teacher to teach us all the subjects (math, language arts, social studies, science). We also had ONE classroom to be at for the whole quarter and we rotate classrooms every quarter. At ilima, we have to go to multiple classrooms. We have to be in 6 different classrooms, 4 classes Monday, Tuesday, and Friday and 3 on Wednesday and Thursday. My sleeping schedule also changed, I use to wake up at 6 in the morning for Holomua and I leave at 6:50 and it takes me 10 minutes to walk to my elementary school. Now that I go to ilima, I wake up at 5:45-5:50 a.m. to shower then sleep for a few minutes and then leave at 7:00 a.m. for school. Since I have leadership, I have jobs almost everyday and in elementary, I didn't. 

My highlight of this quarter would be going to the leadership reunion. The leadership reunion gave us an oppurtunity to get to know the leadership generation more and how it changed over the years. We also bonded with one another as the day went by, I really enjoyed seeing some people that were familiar to me. 

This whole quarter taught me a lesson to be the person who actually does their work and finishes it on time, don't be a procrastinator anymore because whatever you missed builds up more and more. You have to give all your effort and commitment into your work. You don't just get a good grade automatically for the things you turn in, you have to earn it like everyone else which means trying your best. Go beyond what you think you can do.
