Creativity: #AnotherME (Valentine’s Day Event) by Charity Art Club
This valentine’s week we decided to host an event called #AnotherME, we created this event because we wanted to create an event that encouraged more interactions and also exciting, so what we did was we sent a form to all high schoolers, people who wanted to participate would fill out a form that asks about their personalities, then they would write down their phone number, our exec Claire built a google sheet that automatically pairs people with similar responses, and after a week, we would send them a customized digital card (designed by CAC) with a phone number, participants have to figure out who the person is by themselves by either calling them or texting them.
105 people participated in this event, which surprised me a lot, during the planning phase, the executive team did not have too much confidence in this project because it is so new, it has never been done before, so we had no idea how many people would participate, my expectation was 40 people. When one of the executives brought up this idea, I saw it as a joke that she made, I was also not really confident in her idea too, but after seeing her being so serious, I decided to give it a try, and trust my teammates. After this experience, I learned that I should listen to my groupmates’ ideas more carefully and take it more seriously, a lot of times I just do things “my way.”
Chinese New Year Drawing
Amelie and I started a project about CNY, we drew two Menshen that are about 1.6 meters tall, we’re not finished yet, we will finish the drawing by 2/7 and exhibit the drawings on the front door of KAS on 2/8, Amelie and I had to communicate with each other during the drawing session because we made different versions of the MENSHEN based on our own drawing style, but we eventually we came to the agreement that it would be better if we all draw in the same style so two drawings present harmonically.
Activity
Volleyball practice over the week
This week I practiced volleyball a lot, I asked a few of my friends who were also going to the tryout to come to practice with me. I practiced a lot of spiking and serving because my aim is to play middle blocker or outside hitter, which requires a lot of spiking. Even though I only practiced volleyball for one week, I thought it was worth blogging because I believe this is undertaking new challenges, I’ve never played volleyball before, but after playing with my friends and watching volleyball clips with my volleyball addict friends, I became addicted to this game too. So I want to learn this new sport, in order to learn this sport better, I must make the team to receive proper training, so my goal was to make the volleyball JV team, and turns out I did make the JV team. We will start training on 22nd of Feb, I believe my vertical program really helped me a lot.
