Homecoming 2023/Environmental Club 2023-24 Development



 How has my senior year homecoming at Carrollton High School already come and gone? Each year, homecoming is what I love the most. The parade, homecoming court, celebrations, and donations are so much fun to partake in. This year, the senior class float's theme was "Under the Sea." We all did our best to ensure the float could turn out the best it could've looked! Our teachers, parents, and classmates loved the float!  Freshman and Junior year, I was a member of Carrollton High School's homecoming court and loved every second of it! This year, I was voted as the environmental sweetheart. I was super excited about this opportunity because I have never had the experience of being a sweetheart before!

There are only a few differences between homecoming court and sweetheart. The first one is that you're representing only one club instead of the school's plethora of activities.  Sweethearts also buy two dresses, like the homecoming court, but walk during pre-game so we can take them off and put back on something classy for the student section! I loved going back to the student section because it gave me the chance to catch up with friends about their favorite parts of their day. My favorite part of my day was the pep rally when they called out Senior Superlatives. When I heard my name called for the most compassionate award, my heart leaped! Overall, I thought the superlatives everyone received were extremely well-deserving and well-chosen!

Later the next week after the homecoming festivities came to a close, it was time to focus on the environmental club! The club advisor, Jennifer Sewell, and I met for a discussion about dates, activities, and service projects the club will take action on. We will meet this Tuesday, September 26, and we will introduce our new service project which is to take old, used, and broken technology to the Keep Carrollton Beautiful recycling event! That is to be held on October 7th. Then, we are going to have a campus trash pick up on another date in October. Lastly, my favorite part is our fall hike in November. Our hikes are a big hit and we hope to see many in attendance. While these past two weeks may seem very overwhelming and challenging, which they were, they were also very rewarding and fulfilling!

Miss Sparkle Pageant

  This past Saturday, I chose to spend my day volunteering with the Serteen Club at Carrollton High School at the Miss Sparkle Pageant: a pageant that contains the special needs community throughout Carrollton. There are Little Miss, Junior Miss, Teen Miss, and Miss categories which separate the girls into four groups. Within their group, they are judged by about ten judges and are each crowned and given a flower at the end of the ceremony. However, there will be one winner throughout each category. Sometime during the pageant, each girl is escorted by a male member and given a description of who they are and their interests. This whole day was a huge learning experience on my part, but it is one experience I will never get tired of sharing.  At 12:00 p.m. all of the volunteers arrived to help welcome the girls, sign them in, and hang up their dresses so they could attend the pageant rehearsal. While they rehearsed, volunteers continued their role of welcoming contenders. Afte...

CAS Project Final Reflection - 5/6

  As my CAS Project came to a close, it concluded a little over a month ago, I have allowed myself some time to reflect on my experience regarding the planning process and the implications of what led to my final results. It is safe to say that I am nothing short of proud of this project and I have the hope that it will continue on through a rising senior or another member of a club who hopes to provide the school with exposure to a clothing drive. My vision for this project was not only to develop a space where the students of Carrollton High School could shop from each other’s clothes that have no longer been used but to also provide clothing for people who may need extra items that they lack. Looking back, I admire the period leading up to the week of the project. I sought out all of the steps needed to continue the development of the project and had several planning days with just me and my trusty computer. I made connections with people and resources who were crucial in t...
