My Experience during Family Day
Last January 26, 2020 was the Family Day for the ACT-IS Regular Program with the theme "Stronger Families, Stronger Asianista Community". All of the students from the Preschool Department to the Junior High School have all gathered together with their families for this yearly event that takes place in ACT-IS Bulacao Campus. All of the booths were decorated to the corresponding tribes that they have picked for each grade level, and they were all beautiful to look at from a distance.
Before the program officially began, we had a Sunday Mass with all of the students and families together so they could all spend time together within the rest of the program. After the Mass ended, all of the students were gathering and planning together for the praising dance for Sr. Santo Nino as a way to celebrate Sinulog. The students were dancing with joy and excitement together to praise to the one and only Sr. Santo Nino. Once the praising dance was finished and done, the Family Day has now officially started and everyone from the different grade levels are preparing for the dances of their respective tribes. Of course, on my side with the rest of my classmates within the Grade 9 Level, we were all preparing for our dance as well but we focused on not messing up on any of the dance steps from the routine as we will soon begin our dance performance. However, we didn't want to hesitate ourselves to the dance performance, but to also have fun with the family because all together, we are one, big family that always keep on trying and helping each other out.
As were waiting for our turn to do our dance performance, we were watching all of the Grade Levels doing their dance performances and they all did it well. Obviously, we were worried for the other Grade Levels in the Junior High School to perform even better than us, but we didn't think negative and just had to dance the way that we normally do, along with working together. So now, what can I get from the experience during this year's Family Day? Well, there were a lot of things that I want to say in this blog, but the one thing from Family Day is that we had fun and we were all united together as one, dancing and performing well together and spending some time with friends and their families. All in all, I had a great time this Family Day and knew that I was in the right place to change and improve myself, along with my other classmates that were with me, especially during the dance performance.
I will never forget this moment of how time we've practiced, day after day, to prepare for this event to come. But I have to say is that we were all united and knowing that we give it our all for our performance. We showcased our cooperation towards one another and making sure that we'll make use of this in the near future. That's what the theme is going for: Stronger Families, Stronger Asianista Community.
