This year's Pep Rally was very
special for Red House because we finally won first place! Since this was a
rare thing to happen, we were so happy and overwhelmed with the result. I felt
so happy that I almost cried. Well actually I was in tears already in the
inside, and I am sure every Red House member was also very contented. In
fact, I haven't expected this outcome because we have lost the
opportunity to win Pep Rally for more than 5 years so I just
thought of this activity lightly. But when realizing that we won first place,
I was actually shocked and surprised. Well, of course, our leaders
did a great job on guiding our way but I just happened to think
that the other houses did absolutely great as well so I thought yellow
or blue would win. I guess our hard work had finally paid off.
I
personally think blue house’s dance was really nice because they made their
dance step like a musical play. Also, they made this huge hawk which I thought
was awesome. However, unfortunately, the blue house won third place in the
dance category. Yellow house’s dance was also cool and funny because they
danced one of Korea’s k-pop dances. They won first place in the dance category
and I think they deserved it. Red house won second, which I thought was still a
satisfied rank. Despite this competition, I think everyone enjoyed watching and
dancing the steps.
This
activity not only boosted our competition level but it also helped us to be
more creative in seeking for a good theme, dance, cheers, and cooperation of
the members. Regardless of the many new house leaders, they were still able to
lead the team well and do their best. For the past years, red house had lost
the opportunity to win first place in pep rally so this year I think not many
people anticipated much or were less enthusiastic with the results. I even
heard some red house members wanting to change their houses because of our
failure. However, we were able to win which increased our potential to gain
hope and restore our enthusiasm back to life. Now, we seem to be proud of our
house.
Overall,
from this activity I learned a lot. Despite the fact that Red house has failed
to win pep rally the previous years, we did not give up but continued and we
were able to succeed this goal we had for years. We began to change our
perspective about Red house which made me feel glad. Moreover, this activity
boosted our spirits and showed that Red house is improving gradually. No matter
what the outcome is, I think the potential, process, and enthusiasm is more
important.
