This past week was my first week of school. Since I am a senior now the school asked us to help Plan orientation week. I volunteered to plan ice breaker activities, get involved presentation, activity fair, and odyssey presentation. I was in a small group for each of the groups. It was really good being in small groups because we were able to bounce ideas off of each other and come up with a good plan for each thing. This was especially useful for the icebreaker activities because we had three icebreakers that we had to plan for each day of the week. All of them were whole school icebreakers so it needed quite a bit more thought put into it. Presenting was also easier because multiple people got to talk, so I did not have to make a whole presentation and present the entire thing. My favorite activity was the activity fair that we had. I liked this one the most because it was something that we were not able to have due to covid, so I was glad we were able to bring it back. I thought the activity fair went really well and everyone was really engaged. I think that each activity went really smoothly and wera all planned very well. I don't think the entire week would have been as successful as it was if we did not work in groups to plan everything.

 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...
