WB 2-1🙈: First week back and I already want it to end
Summary
First week after fall break and I’m already tired. We got our GT’s this week, and I love them all. My GT is named Megan, and I see her as my child (she calls me mom), and she’s good at following directions. Another thing this week was that my group and I worked TV, so we have male intros, set up, turn things on, and be quiet while the broadcasters do their thing. This whole week in ELA, we have been watching a movie called “Interstellar”, which is probably one of my favorite movies I’ve seen (aside from Top Gun Maverick of course) because it almost made me cry, and I enjoyed the plot. We didn’t do much in any other subject, but another major thing is that in Social Studies, we are doing NHD (National History Day) and my group is doing Annexation of 1898 - Overthrow of the Monarchy. My team and I were planning to do a performance, but one out of the three of us doesn’t want to so we have to convince him to do it to have a better chance at winning. In Math, we are learning how to add integers, which I already know how to do but one of my classmates keep asking me for answers. It’s really easy, almost as easy as art, lol. But since we also had afterschool sales, I keep having to leave my last period early which is not as fun but it is what it is. Science is easy as well, but of course, my classmates are insufferable. We changed seats too, and I sit in between two classmates who keep copying off my answers on the computer. I wasn’t as tired this week as I normally am, and I’m so proud of myself for keeping an actual sleep schedule. Me, Kaleah, Markwil, and Sultan need to start working on our choreos for orientation, and I’m proud to say that I didn’t procrastinate and I finished mine!!
Highlights + Lowlights
Highlights
Meeting GT’s - Our new GT’s are very nice, and they’re such good listeners! They do, however, need to be a little more focused and enthusiastic about the choreos but other than that, they’re awesome.
Art class - I will never stop glazing art class. What we did so far was drawing and coloring a color wheel, learning color theory, and making our own painting involving color theory. I enjoyed it because it’s my most calm class, and I get to show my creativity.
Eating my lunch this week lol - This week, I made my own lunches and I gotta say, my cooking improved by the max because holy moly pizza rollies my food was good.
Lowlights
Going on broadcast for the first time - When it was my time to go on broadcast, my heart sank to the bottom of the ocean. I have really bad anxiety and nerves, so I did not enjoy having to go on tv.
Having to choreograph a song - Even though I was in dance for two years in elementary school, I am not a good dancer, let alone to come up with dance moves, so I don’t have confidence about making dances.
My blindness - I don’t know why my eyes are so bad like oh my god, I can’t see anything’s that six-seven feet away from me 💔
Lessons Learned
Paragraph 1: Academics and social dynamics
This week, I learned that managing my energy is important, because even after a break, the stress of school can quickly return. I also learned that being a role model for someone like my GT, Megan, is a special responsibility, and her following my directions shows how much she looks up to me. Working on the broadcast taught me about different roles on a team and how to function collaboratively, even if my part was a quiet one. In ELA, I learned that a movie can be more than just entertainment; Interstellar taught me how emotionally powerful a story can be. For my NHD project, I'm learning how to navigate group disagreements and find a way to compromise to achieve a shared goal. Finally, I learned that while it's tempting to help out a classmate who asks for answers, I need to focus on my own work in math and avoid enabling others.

Paragraph 2: Extracurricular and personal life
I learned that good relationships with my new GTs are not only about leading, but also about encouraging them to be more engaged and enthusiastic, especially with the choreos. In my art class, I learned that taking time for a calm, creative outlet is a great way to relieve stress and express myself. The pizza rolls taught me that I can be proud of my personal skills, like cooking, and that preparing my own meals can be a very satisfying accomplishment. I also learned that it's important to keep a good sleep schedule, as I felt the positive effects of it this week. The fact that I finished my choreography without procrastinating taught me that planning ahead can reduce stress and lead to a sense of accomplishment.

Paragraph 3: Anxiety and personal challenges
Going on broadcast for the first time taught me how to face my anxiety and nerves head-on, even though it was a very uncomfortable experience. With the choreography for orientation, I learned to push past my lack of confidence in my dancing abilities and finish the task, which showed me that sometimes it's more important to follow through than to be perfect. My ongoing struggle with my eyesight taught me to appreciate the little things I can see and to find a way to work around my limitations.
