Hey guys, long time no posting anything in this blog, definitely i'm glad i could tell my story again this weekend. so yeah, there was an exciting happened last week on March 14th - March 15th> What was that? so I came to the Lower Dauphin High School Minithon 2014!! Minithon is an event that basically held to raise money for the kids who have cancer, the family shouldn't be worry anymore about the money that they have to pay. all money are gonna be covered by us from this activity. as far as I know, minithon is only in Pennsylvania. there is a cooperation between the sponsors and Penn state medical center. it's a great idea to help people by doing this activity. every kids in my schhol has to raise at least 60 bucks to come to the minithon. for the one who have raised more than 100 bucks, they will have certain " sit pass" during the minithon night. " sit pass"??? so during the minithon night, from 7 p.m until 7 a.m, we have to stand for about 12 hours, we are not allowed to sit and we have to be active during the night. there were dances, some sports competition, and bunch of another fun competition such as the Runway, and also Falcon Idol.
Before the minithon started,I helped the committee to set up before the event started, and also in the end of the event I helped them to clean up everything. Because of that, I got a lot of community service hours! Yay.. I appreciate so much to the committee's hard work, I sort of remember the time when I was still in 10th and 11th grade back home in Indonesia. I joined the student council and we have tons of activity each year. i've experienced to be the head of the committee of one of the event in my home school. although we were so busy and even we found really hard to manage our time between studying and organization, but we do have fun!! I feel like they are my second family. I still remember how they made a farewell before I leave Indonesia. Such a sweet and memorable moment! joining the student council back home is really worth it! there are so many things I learned beside of learning about leadership, every single ups and downs that we've been through during that year always teach us something. so proud of us! we handle so many things that probably most people start it while they were in organization in college. but we've already done all that stuff to prepare big school events just by our hands! I miss you tons guys:* here I will introduce you the member of student council where i used to be :
OSIS BHAWIKARSU! (my student council buddies)
So lets go back to talk about Minithon, one of the memorable part of my Minithon night was actually when I was singing at 4 a.m! I've never done it before and I still remember how sleepy I was at that time haha. So I sang "One moment in time" by whitney houston. I had such a great time, all the audiences gave me loooud applauses and some of my friend hugged me as I get down from the stage. I feel so flattered how after I sang even until the next week after minithon, people at school came to me and say that i'm really good. to be honest this is one of the part of my exchange year that i called "expanding my comfort zone" why did I say that? because, I used to be really shy and not confident to sing by my self, but rite know i push out of my limit and i believe that i could do it. one of my teacher hugged me tight and she cried because she was touched while I was singing that song, even the principal also appreciated me in the next day after Minithon. I was so flattered how people appreciate me so much at that time. during the Minithon nite I also made new friends! Yay... I love to connect lives with people here during my exchange year, althou they are not my best friend but at least i try to always have positive attitude and always and always be positive bcause at least while I was here I tried to make a good memory with them that they will remember as I leave from US. I just have few months left until I have to go back to Indonesia. Anyway, this is the video that you can watch while I performed in the minithon night: ENJOY! :)
And the best part of the Minithon night was the time while one of the captain of Minithon announced the amount of money that we collected. here you gooooo
68.070.14 dollars!!!! Yay
So proud of Lower Dauphin High School kids who have already collected that bunch of money for the kids who have cancer. #FTK (for the kids) hehehe. this is one of memorable activity that I've done so far, i impressed how people here have a great effort and sympathy to help people around them who need it. i think it's a great idea to be applied in my home country, because i didn't really see so many volunteering organization, charity, or fundraising activity that start to be applied while we were still as a student. It's a great way to do to help people who have cancer by doing this activity because everyone who involved in that event have to raise certain amount of money. I hope someday I could be the pioneer of this kinda activity back home. Amien. I still remember the positive spirit of that nite. here i'm gonna show ya my minithon spirit :
Selfie with these wonderful girls!
Dancing all nite, get hyped! woohoo
with Amy, Love her painting on her face! I just could draw my flag on my cheek hoho
So yeah i think that's all about my Minithon experience. #FTK!!!!!
