This weekend my school is having a prom. Our theme for this year is Hollywood. I am part of the prom planning committee, so yesterday I was helping with decorations. On Thursday morning, I was helping to put together the Oscars. The committee decided that the seniors would all get Oscars with their names on them so that they can be recognized. We have about 25 seniors so this task didn't take that long, but my friend, Isabelle, helped me put all the names on the Oscars. I then worked on putting Hollywood-themed wrappers on mini Hershey chocolates. There were a lot of wrappers and chocolate, so Isabelle and one of my other friends, helped wrap the chocolates, which make the task a lot quicker to finish. In the afternoon, Isabelle was working on the signs for the food table, so I helped her pick a theme for the background of the sign and put the signs in the frames. 

On Friday I went to the actual venue to set up some things for prom. One of the table decorations was a bowl filled with clear orbeez and mini gold and black balls. We used the orbeez to make sure the gold and black balls stayed in one place. We added water to the bowls to make it look like the gold and black balls were just floating. There were quite a few centerpieces to do, so a group of three of us worked on them. the other two people filled the bowls with the clear orbeez and added water to them, while I placed the black and gold balls in them. We also worked on putting together all the tables. Having a group to work on the decoration was really great because we were able to finish in just 30 minutes and it was really fun to work together.

 September 30, 2021     Last Thursday I went to my MMUN Internship. For my internship, I work with Upper Elementary students (4th-6th grade) and I help them get prepared for the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) conference, which will be held in February. This week the students I am helping, needed to be sorted into their topics and committee rooms so that they can start research on their topics and countries. I volunteered to do this for my supervisor so she could focus on the other things that needed to get done. I prepared a form that listed all the topics and their descriptions for the students. I had them pick their top three topic choices so that I can sort them into groups based on their topic choices. When I got their forms back I started working on sorting them all into their topics and committee sections, with the other interns that I work with. This process was quite difficult, because some topics did not have enough people that chose them, so some student...

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...

This past Saturday my school had our winter dance. I am one of the co-presidents of the fun committee, which is in charge of planning school events. For the dance, we went with a winter theme so we used decorations such as snowflakes and white trees. The dance was being held in my high school's west commons, which is a communal workspace, so we could not decorate until the day before. So on the Friday before the dance, I made a sketch of the entire space to start planning where all of the decorations would go and to be a guide to the people helping set up. I was really proud of this sketch because I am not the most confident in my drawing abilities, but I think it was very clear. I included the west commons and all of the classrooms and offices attached to it. After school ended the members of the fun committee and I started to decorate the west commons. We put up some of the easier things like the snowflakes on the walls and windows, the fake snow, trees, tablecloths, and silver b...
