2nd orientation

*SORRY FOR THE DELAYS OF MY BLOG* this is the 2nd orientation blog I'll be talking about. in this blog I'll be introducing to you the differences about blog #1 and #2. for the first orientation I ever had was the bestest performance I ever did in front of the audience out of the other one. I was speaking fluently with no nervousness and actually enjoyed it for the first one. the group I took on a tour for the orientation was way more quiet than my 2nd orientation group. also, when we went on tours, it was more crowded than the 2nd time. for my tours I had, the 1st one was the shortest I had. that orientation went smoothly. the 2nd orientation was longer than I expected it to be. my group was way talkative and constantly asking me questions about the school than my first group I had. sorta stumbled across my words a little but was able to improvise. and I talked way more on the tour than the first time and got interesting questions that I never thought of. and there was more students that appeared at the 2nd orientation than the 1st one. the tour was not that quick than I thought it was, most of the kids had questions about each stop or whatever when I covered all the things that they needed to know. this tour was less crowded than the first and I was able to find more space to introduce the stops along ilima. so if I were to compare them in a few words, I would say that the 1st orientation was less hectic than the 2nd orientation.

if I were to say what we could've changed about the orientation was the set up of the tour. the tour was too crowded and maybe if we doubled up some groups and put 1-2 more leadership people in the tour for each group then the group would be feel more comfortable. and if we added more leadership people to the group to guide, one of them could answer questions that the other tour guide person wouldn't know. so we could use each other as a resource. but not only that, the way we had to change a lot got me stressed out because what if one of us forgot to bring one of our requirements that was important, how are we going to improvise last minute not knowing how to cover it? we got to think of the other outcomes that we wouldn't think of and shouldn't always depend on one person to get something or require something knowing that person shouldn't be depended on. I would've also wanted to ask questions to my group and see how they felt to get feedback to improve the way we set up the whole thing. 

things I liked about the orientations was taking the kids on the tour cause now some of them can have an idea of what type of people are at ilima and will increase the population at our school. that can be an advantage. but not only that, we had a fashion show that entertained the audience. I'm sure that made it the highlight of the visit cos we basically made fools of ourselves LOL but also interesting what different cultures wear. things I didn't like was that it was too crowded on the tour and we didn't really time to get ready and prepare before so that we wouldn't mess up and also had a small room to get ready which would make some of us feel isolated.
