I have been doing the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) conference in New York City these past few days. This year I am a bureau member again and was Vice-chair of the upper elementary food and agriculture (FAO) committee. This is the second conference I have attended as a bureau member in person so I was excited. The topics my committee discuss were the Russia and Ukraine war's effect on food and the empowerment of rural women. On the first day of the committee sessions I worked as the scribe, so along with my vice-chair duties, I was also typing for the delegates when we did certain parts that required typing. I also would type the working papers for the delegates and their final resolution. On the second day, my senior bureau member let me practice being chair which was really fun. I still did roll call, which is one of the vice-chair's duties, but I also got to lead the session, make announcements, and guide the delegates through the process. This was really great for me because next year I hope to be a chair at the committee sessions. This conference was really great because the delegates were really engaged. This was my first time working with upper elementary students, so I was nervous that they were going to me quieter than middle schoolers, but I was wrong. We had dome really attentive and engaged students, and everyone really worked together to get the resolutions done quickly. This made me really happy because it is amazing to see younger kids working together to solve the world's problems. It gives me a lot of hope for the future because my generation will be the ones leading countries soon and it is important to me that every kid is able to find their voice.

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...
