     This weekend I volunteered to go take care of ducks and koi fish. I brought my sister with me to help me, as I forgot some of the things that I had to do. These ducks are koi fish were at my old school. The school got these ducks when I was in middle school and since then I have helped volunteer to take care of them over some weekends. To take care of these animals I have to feed them, clean the pond, refill the water buckets, and water the plants. When I got to my old school I started off my prepping the ducks and the fish's food. I then cleaned the koi pond, which was full of feathers and leaves. After doing that I fed the ducks and then the koi. While the koi were eating I had to keep the ducks out of the pond, otherwise, they would eat all of the fish food. After taking care of the animals I watered the plants in the school's garden. After finishing that, I refilled all the other food containers so that other people didn't have to do it that week. From this experience, I think I showed commitment and perseverance. I have been committed to taking care of these ducks since I was in middle school, and I have shown this commitment by making continuing to volunteer in high school. I also showed perseverance in this particular volunteer experience because I was originally confused about where some items have now been placed, but after receiving help from my sister I was able to complete all of the tasks.

Yesterday, my high school had our Lunar New Year celebration. For the past three years, I have been organizing the celebrations. This year, the teacher who supervises my planning wanted to have our celebration with the middle school, so we can get more students involved. I thought this was a great idea, but I was at first worried about how we would accommodate a lot more people in our activities, as we would be going from about 110 people to 180. This meant that I had to purchase a lot more materials for each activity so that all students and faculty could get participate. We also wanted to make sure we all were staying together and really integrating middle school and high school. For Lunar New Year, we always provide lunch, so I thought it would be good to serve food in the middle school, then require that everyone eats in the high school or on the quad. This way, we were all staying together instead of separating into our building. I think that this worked well to keep us all togeth...

Recently, I and the other presidents of the prom committee have been working to finalize all of the plans for prom. I am inc charge of community roll-out, which means that I organize how we present the theme to the rest of the school. I gathered a small group of about 10 students to work on how to present the theme at our school's community meeting. The theme for our prom is Bridgerton, which is a show on Netflix. At the beginning of the show the Queen picks a diamond of the season, so we thought it would be cool to do a prom theme of the season. We had people dress up in different themes like a cowboy, disco, Rihanna Super Bowl halftime performance, college, and Disney. I and a person I am training to take my role next year created a script for the skit that we would do, as well as set up all of the music. We then went over the full script with everyone and made edits and adjustments according. During the community meeting, we presented the skit and everyone seemed to love it. Peo...

Today, I decided to practice doing my makeup. I recently got a new skin tint and primer, so I wanted to test out my makeup with it and practice doing some eyeshadow looks. My makeup skills are not very strong because I only wear it sometimes, and when I do I usually have a friend help me, mainly with my eyes. I started with my base, so primer first, then I used the skin tint. I really liked how they looked and applying them was really easy. I think went on to contour my cheeks and jawline. I felt like I actually did a good job with contour this time because I usually don't put enough and don't blend it well, but this time it looked well blended. I also tried a new blush, which I think looked okay. I generally don't really like how the blush looks on my face, but I think that the blush color I got was pretty nice. After doing the base of my face, I went to work on doing eye makeup. I decided that I wanted to try two different looks. The first I did was an eyeliner look. I us...
