Assignment Blog: Retreat

        The Leadership Retreat (: Bring me back ): I miss it already. Anywaysss, the Leadership Retreat was a camping kinna thing. We would go to a beach house and sleep over there for 3 days and 2 nights working on the whole calendar for the year and assigning jobs for the next events that are coming up next. We would have fun, eat, work, and all that stuff yo usually do when you go to retreats lol. I think that we have this Leadership Retreat as a kind of reminder that you are and always will be apart of Leadership. The retreat gives us amazing memories for us to remember and had us bond with our group more than we do at school. It helps us see our groups' strengths and weaknesses. It helps us to see how our group works together and how our group has its errors. It lets us see how well our group works together as a team. We would work on the homework we had to do over the 2 days we would miss of school, and work on Leadership related stuff. Like assigning jobs for Winter Fair, ISA, Intramurals, (lol idk how to spell it) and everything else, I kind of forgot.... But we would go on breaks and look for crabs on the beach, work with our groups, and have all those group bonding moments. We'd always play cards and always do everything together. But what I didn't like was that not all of us would always hang out together.

             SOME highlights of the retreat was the talent show. I laughed so hardat the talent show, "My name is Deriecka, and I like sparkles." OMGGG, Hope was crying lolololol. It was so funny, and Jayde's on too!!! "My name is Jayde, and I do the hula, but with no music" lololol that was so funny. I think the talent show was the best time where everyone could laugh together. Another highlight was when we were switching around all the sessions and everything. My favorite session was the bracelets and the pic collage. I found my beads in the dryer, an lol Petriese doe, she found her's behind the trash can outside. Our music isn't that junk. And then when we were all taking pictures. Petriese made it so confusing, lol she was like, "You guys should carry me" and we were like all laughing so much because we couldn't hold her and she was gonna fall on the grass. SOME lowlights of the retreat was when we were getting ready to leave I was so sad because I wanted to stay there for the whole because I didn't wanna have school. Lol, and when we were still working on one of the planning sessions. Some of us went outside beause we thought we were done. I should've stayed inside instead of going outside because even thought I knew that we weren't done yet, I still went outside. Its a mistake that I will never make again. I think that there should be a change in the numbers of days we stay there. We should be there for the whole week lololololll, and thats probably it. I had a lot of fun at the retreat and I don't wanna change anything because I loved all of it. I didn't really like the retreat, I  LOVED it. I've never been to a field trip as fun as this field trip was. I've had more fun there than at home or at school. I loved the retreat so much, its made me think of joining next year. Idk, ever since the retreat, I wanna experience that with a group of mine next year. It makes me really want to join Leadership next year.

             I've learned a lot about my group. A lot of things. Like how Taylor is so embarrassed to dance in front of people. Lol, and how like Petriese always say things that she hears other people say a lot because it gets stuck in her head. I learned that when we work as a team, we're better than working individually which is something that I usually am (independent) I always thought that it was better to work in by yourself rather than in a group, but ny froup showed me that it is better to work as a group than being by yourself (: I learned a lot of things about the chaperones. They're all super nice and I never knew they knew my names, until they said "Jenaya" and Im like "Oh my gosh you know me" I wanted to get to know them better though, they all seem so funny and fun and entertaining and all that fun stuff. I've always wanted to get to know all of the chaperones. I learned that all the chaperones are more fun and creative than I thought they would be. I also learned that they've all been to the retreat at least twice. I've learned a lot about Mr. Ing too. When you do something wrong, he lets you find out that you've done that wrong. He has you fix that problem. He doesn't tell you that you did something wrong, you have to find out what you did wrong and fix it. I also never knew that Mr. Ing doesn't vote during the chopped and the talent show. I thought he was the one that chose who won and everything. Honestly, I think I forgot what I learned about Mr. Ing....
