“Team Hito”

I. My Accomplishment

Last Monday to Wednesday, we had our scouting (BPS) held at Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School, one of the oldest school here at Baguio City. We first have our orientation before proceeding to our activities. After the orientation, we were grouped and have our group name “Hito” because we need to base our name from sea creatures. Each group are task to make their own cheer and yell, we team Hito gathered lot of lyrics and tunes to come up with a good song composition. Now, it is time for us to present our cheer and yell, we were the fourth presenter among the 13 groups. Somehow we had our practice but still, it’s not enough for us to really master the lyrics of our song and the action. As one of the member of our group, I need to do all the actions for us to win. Luckily, our wish was granted, we were one of the groups that were given red ribbon. Congratulation to us!

II. My Significant Experience

Another task that was given to us during the scouting was to design our area which is our designated corner. Honestly I hate designing things. But still, I need to contribute some effort to make our area creative so I was challenge and motivated to make any designs because of this activity. It was a nice experience to me because it enhanced m psychomotor skills.

III. My Insights

One of the scouters is an 85 years old man. He was already a grandfather but I was amazed by him because even though he is already a senior and a veteran, still his energy was on the highest level. He is a jolly and a comedian grandfather. He was the song bird of all scouters. He was the “song bird” of all the scouters He taught as many songs. Below was one of the songs that captivated me.

If you are happy If you are happy and you know it Clap your hands (2x) If you’re happy and you know it Then your life will surely SHOW IT If you are happy, and you know it ·                     Nod your head ·                     Stump your foot ·                     Say “hello” ·                     Do them all

Furthermore, I learned such important things which were the following:

·         How to perform first aid particularly to burns and wounds

·         How to read compass (The sun is at the east in the morning while at the west in the afternoon.)

·         How to read compass

·         How to measure heights

·         How to fold a flag

·         The different steps to tie and untie rope

IV. Problems

During the orientation, I’m very sleepy; I want to lean on my chair to sleep for 5 minutes. There were so many speakers and their power point presentation were brief, they were not simplified and outlined which tend us not to listen to them. Another thing was, we cannot see the letterings, and we cannot really read that information shown to us. What am I going to do to avoid being sleepy?

V. Solution

What I have done was I tried to take down some key points from their discussion. Afterwards, I tried to do my lesson planning little by little while the orientation was going on. Maybe it’s not a good thing for me to do but I really need to kill the time for me not to fall asleep, so still it is a good thing to do rather than to fall asleep in front of the lecturer.

VI. My Goals for Next Week

For three days of scouting, executions of our lesson plan at Baguio City National High School were delayed so I need to double my time in executing 4 lessons next week. I hope I can do it. I need to do my best as possible as I can.
