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!
