Induction was today :)
What do I mean by Induction you asked? I "google-ed" it and the actual definition for it is "A formal introduction to a new job or position." So yea I had my Year 12 Induction today for the class of 2013'.
In the morning, we were briefed on what to do; where to stand; where to sit; what to say; how to say it; how to walk up the stage; how to shake hands; how to walk down the stage... and by doing all that without embarrassing ourselves, and also not to embarrass the school.
After we had the briefing that was only supposed to be about 15 minutes but dragged on to around 45 minutes, we all headed to our classes. THANK GOODNESS I had music at that time. I was totally not keen for any subjects that I had to use my brain to think.
During music, I learned how to play the song Thrift Shop on the piano... YES, I was THAT bored, but music was fun as always. It's just another bludge (when you just lay around all day) subject anyway.
After that, as a RESPONSIBLE senior of the college and also not to mention, the Tennis Captain of the college ;) I had duties to fulfill... I had to run around the whole school hunting down several teachers in charge to talk about co-curricular activities for tennis and so on. I had to make several calls to different tennis academies to seek for training coaches etc. It was pretty hectic!
Then came to the actual Induction ceremony. We were all so nervous. Lining up in rows before walking in the hall where everyone had already been seated down waiting for our special arrival. We all looked too fabulous! We all looked fashionably immaculate! Walking down the hallway to our seats was the most scariest thing ever! Every single person in the hall had their eyes on you and all you could do is smile and look at everyone! Once we took our seats, we had short speeches by the heads of the school and so on.
We then had to take a pledge and head up the stage to get our badges :) That was one of the proudest moment I've had of myself. I was proud that I've came this far to achieve what I've achieved today. I'm 18 now. I've grown up. I'm no longer a little girl. I would have to make big decisions for myself in life. And this was the first step. I made the decision to put behind every single bad memory that I had when I was here in Australia for the past few years. I made the decision to stay here for another year and to go through my last year of college and to see how everything would go for my university later on in the year. I made the decision to make my family proud, especially my daddy because since I was a kid, he has always wanted to let me have an education here in Australia, so I would have a better life. :')
