Today the Post Oak High School had a High School Experience and Open House. As a student ambassador, I stayed until 9:00pm to help prepare and then execute this event. This afternoon was particularly busy as in addition to the usual open house presentation for prospective students and families, we also had a presentation for current Middle School Post Oakers about the transition to High School. The first few hours were spent preparing the slides, rehearsing the presentations and setting up the chairs and tables for the occasion. My job was to give a presentation, alongside two other students, about the science department at Post Oak. I then also answered any questions that the prospective students and their families asked. The Open House guests were split into three groups so I had to give the presentation three different times. I tend to get nervous when presenting in front of people, regardless the size of the group, so this was out of my comfort zone but the event with smoothly and reaffirmed that I can do presentations even when I doubt myself.
Today I went on an early morning run with my swim team at Buffalo Bayou. When the pools closed due to quarantine, my swim team started running together as an alternative way to keep fit. Even when the pools opened, we had a limited practice schedule so continued to run as well. Today we ran down the bayou to a set location and then turned back around. In total we ran 3.5 miles. Everyone ran at their own pace so some people go their sooner than later. Running is definitely more challenging for me and in the extreme heat I had to take a very leisurely pace so I 1finsihed in almost 45 min. Running requires a lot of commitment and perseverance because of the physical challenge.
