WEEKLY REFLECTION: MAY 16

 REFLECTION:

This week started with getting the overall idea of what student activities do and how much work they put into every event. Some new things I learned this week were the process of setting up a big event for a large number of people. We started the game splash which is a school-wide water gun game where each person has a target to get out of. Planning this event felt easy at first but it became very clear how much work goes into it. Another thing I learned was the process of getting a food truck and how to properly reach out to other big companies, lastly I also learned how to fold napkins in the pyramid style.  This week we also worked on the slide show for the senior boat event. I did like what I was doing and all of the different tasks kept me very busy and I never had nothing to do, something that I learned was how much work goes into the events run at Proctor and how stressful it can be to have events that everyone will like. I was really surprised by the number of people that signed up for splash. I was expecting around 50 people but there ended up being 170, with this being said on Saturday we ran into some problems that we will have to fix this coming Monday. This week I have benefited by becoming more flexible with a change in plans due to running the game splash. I have also learned to look at the school as a whole to get a good idea of what events to plan throughout the weekend. This week's activities helped me achieve my goals by working with big events and already getting ready for the end-of-year events. My goals consisted of many different things but one of the main objectives was to work with a big group of people and get used to planning events for large numbers of people. Although splash was optional it really helped me get ready for the big events that we have to plan for the upcoming week. Overall this week of senior projects has been very fun and I have already learned so much about the process of planning.
