Aloha

I wish my parents were more involved in parent involvement in the school. I know probably most kids wouldn't want there parents around at school functions but now that I'm involved with certain extracurriculars, I want them around. It's highly impossible because my mom is a dentist and she works from 9 to 6ish; she gets tired after working so she can't be involved in the things that i do. my stepdad right now is pretty much disabled and he can't do much. he needs his rest. he's like my grandpa i swear. After that parent meeting for the school play, I felt a little uplifted that my stepdad was there to help out. it's not much, but he's just going to bring water and eggs. it's something! he didn't object, so praise the Lord. I think even if my mom had the time of day, she would shy away from parent participation. although there was a time when she chaperoned a choir festival which was in Irvine. thanks, mom :] but that was once. i wish she did more. i wouldn't volunteer my mom on other things because i know the answer would be no. she's a busy person.

When i become a mom, as much as possible, I want to be out there, involved and helping out. I want to meet other parents. I want to be the soccer mom. haha. ok not necessarily soccer because i don't play soccer. i'm horrible at it. but that doesn't exclude my kid from playing sports. i want my son or daughter to play a sport, and it could be any sport, really. I wish i played volleyball if i wasn't in choir. i would've done it, if it wasn't for my trick knee. hats off to those who are in choir and sports or any combination of the sort. my parents won't let me participate any more extracurriculars because they think my grades will drop. heck, they think i put too much effort in choir than my other classes. yeah, pretty much kinda sorta. i put effort in certain classes that need that. i had to beg my parents to let me try out for the musical. thank you Jesus, they said yes.

I'm pretty excited for this. being a part of something i've always wanted to do since freshman year.. well around there. ever since sophomore year if i should be exact. it was all because of beauty and the beast. last year's play? well i wasn't at all that much interested in trying out but as soon as i heard the sound of music was going to be our spring musical, omg in my mind i was telling myself, "i HAVE to try out". thanks to my persistance and nagging and just having the guts to sign my name on that sign up sheet at the last possible moment, i've made it. one of my proudest moments. haha i will always remember this.
