 This week at my MMUN  (Montessori Model United Nations) internship with the upper elementary students, we were working on their speeches. We just finished the student's position papers so it is now time to work on the speeches that they will be presenting to their committee room. When I got to the room my internship supervisor, Ms. Sood, asked me to time each of the student speeches. When they are at the actual Montessori Model United Nations Conference their speeches are only allowed to be 1 minute long, so as an intern it is part of my job to make sure that they are staying under that 1-minute limit. the students were presenting in front of each other in order to practice saying a speech in front of other people. Since I was timing I considered whether or not I should share the times of each person's speech. I decided against this because I thought that since this is a younger age group (9-11 years old) some students would not like or be able to handle the possible embarrassment that would come from me saying their speech was too long. I am also not very familiar with all the students, so I did not want to mention all the times, as I didn't know how each student would react. I did, however, mention at the end of all of the speeches that some people did go over 1 minute, so I suggested that everyone times their speech again and make edits as needed. Also, some students did approach me after asking if they were over on their speeches, so I was able to privately offer some suggestions to each student. Overall, I am very happy with my decision here.

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...
