petriese peralta signing off

Hiiii guys.  As some of you might know im no longer in the class anymore aha.  But yeaaaah... it is true.  Im not in leadership anymore, but i hope i still stay in touch with all of you !!  Its been fun, but its sad to say goodbye.  Over the week i actually thought about staying, but i just still cant believe im out.  I dont want you guys to think i dont care about you guys anymore lol, i do.  I do actually look at what i left behind and every memory i made. But imma miss period 3 a lot, it was good seeing joylyn grow up waaay more from summer time.  Me and taylor got waay closer, and so did me jenaya and lori.  We allhad good times.  Its been fun aha.  Id like to say thank you to jayde and jah bc you guys are the real mvp for everthing.  This blog is just for you guys in the class, id like to say thanks for everything.  Its been fun.  I just want you guys to know i do realize what i left behind, and still wonder if it was really worth it.  Love you class of 2014-2015, its been fun ☺☺☺😰😢♡

ain't the best start

So this was the first week of school, and we didn't get off on a good start.  Monday was alright.  Intro wasn't made ahead of time because we didn't know the periods.  Also in this new quarter there's the new rule.  If we get on probation our vest is taken away until the end of 1st quarter.  So yeah.  This week my group had tv, lunch music, and after school sales.  Tuesday is when we started making the mistake.  Because if me my group is in this hole I dug and pushed them in.  I had my group do lunch music alone while I was outside, which was my mistake,  it continued on from Tuesday to thursday.  On Thursday I seen joy unplug the ipod and I was confused so I followed her back to a101 and I understood what went wrong.  Also on Wednesday we got I pod a little after lunch so yeah.  Our mistakes led up to a big problem.  There was no after school sales on Thursday and friday.  Friday was A opt out and I opted out.  Me and clean a unexpectedly wore the same top.  And we had a group leader meeting that morning.  It came down to me and jab causing and making mistakes.  Ain't the best week.  We aren't allowed in A101 unless it's class time.  That was a new rule for uss.

The highlight of my week would just be cruising with chez and jah because I didn't have to worry about anything and it was just fun cruising with them  we stayed at jahs house and played with her nephews.  They're so cute and adorable !  We took pics with chezs go pro and it was just a worry free day. But obviously you already know my lowlight.   Just basically everything that happened in leadership was the lowlight of my week.  It socks and I just wanna get out of it.  I did not want this year to be like last year.  I just wish I had period 2 again...

The lesson I learned is not to rush things.  Not to let my group do things on their own.  I made mistakes and now my group is paying the price and I really feel like they need a better group leader because right now my mind is somewhere else.  I'm I rethinking things, and idk I'm getting stressed because I don't want to replay .Last year.   Just really worried for my group and I wanna get out of this hole.

winter fair

so this week my group had music.  on monday there wasnt really anything major, but people continued to bring in their secret santa gifts.  i did not expect it to be ME during secret santa.  also on monday period 3 and i had our secret santa because we were still

planning to get eachother gifts.  so we saved money.  taylor had me, and she got me a shirt from zumiez brah.  tuesday was sort of the same.  people continued bringing gifts in.  not wednesday.  secret santa was kind of a downer because i was the only one without a gift sicne Taven wasnt there.  so i threw a BF but i got over it alreadyy.  on thursday i never went school, but i went hospital for my grandma and then went shopping for gifts.  i spent a lot of money this year, like over $100 for gifts for my friends.  my mom was hella pissed.  noow winter fair day, friday.  my period works first, second, and last shift.  winter fair was aiight.  i never got a lot of pics with my friends but its all gee' i guess.  also, taven brought in my gift, which were pretty gee' socks.  fterschool chez came over and most of our friends went tyrels house and never invite so yaaa, i guess!!! 

highlight of my week would be friday because thats when taven brought in my gift xDDDDD those were actually nice socks!! dri fit ones too!  nice taven, im impressed with the gift.  freals tho they wre really nice socks and ill use them in softball when i go back into the next season.  thanks taven xDD we had to set up the tables and everything just for taven to give me the gift and for taven to get his gift.  jayde pretended to be hope since hope wasnt there xDD but yeah.  lowlight would be wednesday because its so shame for me and i literally threw a bf.  i was actually small kine pissed about how it had to be me tho xDD but i realized i shouldve let it go because its better to give then recieve.

lesson learned is that its better to give then recieve.  tbh i should have let it go, but i threw a bf that i guess entertained some of you guys.  but freals, i should have toned it down a bit, bc it is better to give than recieve, and thats what christmas is all about!

im gonna throw a BF -.-

this is my secret santa bloog.  im sure everyone knows that i was the one who never got a gift bc the person who had me was on a trip.  really nigga, really.  but my secret santa was julia.  i was going all over the place trying to find joggers or a donut sweater but since i couldnt find it i just bought her a $20 starbucks card so yeaaah.  i dont want to rant a lotin this blog because most of you were there when i threw a BF xD -.- and mr.ing if your reading this DONT show that picture to anyone else or i will cut you.  and im freal, i will throw another BF.  what a way to spend secret santa guysss.  and i dont even got a picture of my gift because you guys prolly know why.  so heres a googled pic of what i got for julia!

2 quarter down!

this was a really busy quarter!  so lets just name all the major things that happened this quarter.  It seems like its been forever since we went on the retreat.  but anyways in the beginning of quarter 2 we went on the retreat for 3 days and 2 nights.  it was more fun then last years retreat to be honest.  also after the retreat was halloweeeen !  i was a indian hippie….i really didn't know what to call myself.  then when we got back we had to start planning for ISA already.  I was in charge of ISA for this year, and I'm happy because i never got to work ISA last year.  so it was good that i was in charge and got to work this year.  so yeaaaah lolol.  this quarter we worked and went over yearbook.  i have pages 3-4 and 58-59 i think.  this quarter we volunteered at the book fair to help out and also there was a flu shot clinic to sign up for too.  also we had 4 boys try out leadership.  mahanga, caleb, taven, and siofu.  only two out of four of them are staying in leadership, which is taven and siofu.  siofu is in period 3, my period, and taven is in period 5.  the boys are doing pretty geee'…  but my only concern this quarter was for joy and siofu.  now we get into the winter activities... secret santa was gaaay bc the person who had me never came to school so everyone got a gift but me.  even worse the person is on a trip so like uhhh dont even draw if you aint gonna be here.  so yeah.  i got a ala moana field trip form and its almost the end of the year and winter faaair.  so this is all i go so yeee !

highlight of this quarter would be the retreat because i honestly had fun.  i had way more fun than last year to be honest.  all new periods, new people, and it was a good way to bond with one another and stay away from technology.  besides the fact that on the bus ride home all i heard was notifications and ringing xDDD but yeah i enjoyed the retreat because it was pretty soothing.  from playing volleyball, to staying up playing cards, to the beach, and to playing hide and clap.  it was all just really fun and i enjoyed it.  a really good way to bond like i said.  but a lowlight of the quarter would be winter activities.  specifically secret santa.  not because i never get a gift, but because of all people it had to be meee.  like girl byeee -.-  well kind of that i didnt get a gift.  but out of the whole class its me.  like seriously, i threw a MAJOOOR BF.  most of you guys seen and heard me getting reaaaal salty during lunch or adviosry.  i was so ready to break all the ornaments and just break everything because i was so ready for secret santa xDD  but eh im over it already.

the lesson i learned from this quarter has to do with sacrifices.  i learned as a group leader i need to make sacrifices for my group.  just in general, i gotta make sacrifices for success.  because sometimes i let my feelings get the best of me and sometimes i just need to motivae and encourage myself to make sacrifices for others.  its hard for me, because sometimes i could be really self centered and its not good to be selfish in this class.  so i really learned to make sacrifices this quarter.  for my group, for others in leadership, for a lot of people.  not just in this class, but in and out of school just for the good of others.  making sacrifices is something youll have to learn in life eventually, otherwise your just plain selfish not wanting to give up something for someone else!

Assignment blog : talent strips

this blog blog is going to be about the talent strips.  a project that was based off 3 talents we have that help leadership.  we got 3 colored strips and wrote our name on one side of each one, and on the other side we wrote about the talent we had and how it helps leadership.  we wrote about how we found it, how it helps the class, and then we had to make a presentation about the 3 talents.  on each slide we explained and got into depth on each talent then we had to make a video on demonstrating the last talent since we only shared two with the class.  my 3 talent swede creativity, never giving up, and helping.

the highlight from this project would be going up and presenting.  i really wanted to hear what others talents were, and when i heard some they were pretty impressive.  i liked some, but others were basic.  i think one basic talent of mine was creativity because like 3 other people had the same one.  so i really wanted to be someone who's talents stuck out and i was really trying to think out of the box.  but other then that i enjoyed hearing other's talents and i actually liked going up for some reason.  i also liked the fact on how siofu actually went up.  i honestly thought he wouldn't listen to me no matter how much i bugged him to go up, but he actually did it.  so i was pretty proud that he obeyed and went up and actually did what i asked him to do.  but the lowlight from doing this project would be making the video.  i enjoy editing videos, but in this project i totally forgot about the video so i had to hurry up and make videos and throw and put it all together.  also if you know me, once i start on something i always have to get it done.  so the week before the project was due i was up all night editing and putting together the video.  even though it was due a week later i couldn't sleep knowing it wasn't complete so i had to get it off my plate.  so that would be my lowlight because i stayed up and i had to rush to get some of my videos.

changed i would make would be on my talent strips itself because i thought i didn't put enough on 2 of my strips.  i should've explained a bit more but its okay i guess.  also i would've showed more examples of my helping and used a better source for a camera because i used my phone and it wasn't very good quality.  my editing was pretty gee' but it was just my phone quality and i should've showed more examples of me helping.  i believe i only showed 3 not very good examples.  one was me taking out the trash, the second one was me helping my friend when she sprained her knee, and the last was i forgot xDDDDDDD but i think i put 3.  but thats what i would've changed because i think i could've done more or show more better examples of me helping.  but i just wanted to get it over with and get it done because i explained alreadyyyyy.  but it kinda bothers me that ti wasn't really my best work.  and the last lowlight is that I'm turning this blog in late.  a day late because i forgot about it and i didn't check my planner for this Dx  ugh i was so pissed and now I'm doing it right now in period 3!!!!  going to kmssss…..jk i love my life

the lesson learned is to be more aware of the dates things are due!!!!!!!!!  since i didn't do this blog on time.  this is how i learned my lesson.  but at least period 3 was the only period who realized it and now is doing their blogss so yaaaaayaaayayayayayayyayayayayyayaa.  but yeah my lesson learned it to be more aware of whats going on because if i was more aware of this, i would've reminded my group and we would've all turned it in when it was supposed to be done.  so yeah that it was i learned from this project!

Alright week

so this was an alright week.  in monday i came to school and my ankle was alright.  i could walk but it still hurt so i used my band to school.  tuesday was the same thing as monday.  i stayed home after school for both days and it was alright.  this week my group had ID's.  on wednesday period 3 made a gingerbread house.  we all chipped in $2 each and got the gingerbread house kit.  we made it and decided to eat in on monday when we have our period 3 secret santa.  but we ended up eating bits of it on both thursday and friday.  thursday nothing really happened.  just jobs.  and now friday.  in the morning mr.ing demonstrated the meaning of yelling.  he said joyless name again.  he showed us the difference between yelling and talking which was actually scared me.  we all jumped and especially joylyn.  friday night me and my friends were hanging out.  we went the the park across wood bridge and went in the back with all the trails.  the boys went to the farm and came back with like green tomatoes or something.  then we separated again on two sides with girls and boys and started throwing rocks at each other.  i never got hit xDDD  it was fun and funny tho.  then when people started going home the 3 of us that were still there went to my house then my mom bought us taco bell and we watched world star hip hop fights.  it was a pretty gee' night,

the highlight of my week would be making the gingerbread house.  it was pretty fun but our house doesn't look that nice as the house on the cover (x at least we tried.  but I'm just excited for both the class secret santa and the period 3 one.  on monday period 3 is going to do ours.  I'm just having fun with my period because this time of the year last year i was in a problem so i didn't really get to do much winter activities like winter fair and my period didn't make a gingerbread house.  so yeah it was fun making the house.  but it was the struggle to put it all together.  i made the roof, taylor made the other side of the roof, lori and naya made the sides, and joylyn made the door walls.  but the lowlight of my week would be not going bowling because i actually did want to go.  i stayed back and stayed in mr.celebres homeroom and period 3.  but i really did want to go bowling.

the lesson i learned is that i should make sacrifices for this class.  like i somewhat feel like i shouldn't have gone on the AVID field trip so i could've gone bowling since cheana was the only 8th grade girl from lima xD but i sometimes i think i should've stayed back so i could've gone bowling but at the same time i got no ragrets xDDD  but yeaaah.  the lesson i learned is that sometimes i need to make sacrifices for this class.
