CAS Leadership - Mural II

Last Friday, when we had homeroom ms sam said that we were going to paint again to touch up the bands of color because they didn't look as nice. So during break I went around school and got more supplies and asked ms jeanie if we can have some of the newspaper because we were still painting to finish the touches-up. Ms Jeanie let me take the newspaper and she said to me how is it going with the mural? and I looked back at her and said Well, we only did the background and nothing else still, because Ms Sam is putting it off. I just told her of what is going on, I also told her don't bother looking at it yet because we haven't done any design on it yet only the background. Then I said to her that I will let her know when it will be finished.

Before homeroom; I got everything ready as I got the paints, brushes, chairs and newspapers. Expect when HR began everyone was working on CAS reflections, I wasn't to happy about that but I let that slide because Ms claire threw us a curve-ball when she said that a fill-out worksheet was due at 3'oclock, that day. So everyone was rushing to finish it, expect me because I had free lesson later on that day.

I began painting the edges I noticed that we had a limited amounts of certain colors, the green and purple. At least the bands of those colors weren't as thick as the others. Perla and Sherab helped out with me and I gave the blue and yellow paint because they were the bigger bands of color. I didn't want to waste the green and purple, it's not because I don't trust them, unlike the boys, the fact is that we didn't know if there was any other cans and we didn't want to paint them over and get it in the wrong color. After a while Perla and Sherab didn't want to do anymore and I said that's fine because they helped out enough.
Though as we started doing the edges of the bands it was getting harder and harder to reach the top so we used chairs too try and reach. I got 5 chairs and stacked them as I jumped up on them and started to paint. Everyone, the students (only), called out, 'It's to dangous', 'The bottom chair isn't stable', Your going to fall', 'Keep on painting', 'Your going to fall'. I just got annoyed and yelled back I have been in worst cases then this, this is nothing compare the other stunts I have done. 

Ms Sam asked the others to help out but they ignored her and kept working on CAS. I didn't care if they helped or not I just wanted to get this done. I called to ms Sam Don't bother I can do this by myself, I just want to get this shit done and over with. I know I used bad language but I was fed-up with everyone and I just wanted to finish it and move on to the design. So ms Sam left me to do it, and I was glad, so that I can get some control of the painting. I was so proud of myself that I finished and it looked great, but then the others said I missed a spot at the very top, were the ceiling and wall met. So I stacked more chairs and I got 7 or 8 on top of another and climbed up and painted. I could tell everyone was staring at me because they were like woah, how can she do that? does she do this all the time? how can she balance on all of those chairs? Truth is I like doing things like that to challenge myself and I liked it mostly because its fun and I can show off.

When ms sam said that it looked good, I was happy but when she said that she wanted to put the other-half of year 11's name up with our other-half of the year 11s, I wasn't so happy. I said if they want their names up their, they are going to help out because my half of the year 11s aren't going to do all the work and then just add the other-half of the year. It's not fair that we do all the work and they get credited.

So today I went to ms claire and talked to her about when we can switch homerooms so that her class can have a chance to do something too for the mural since we have one period that both homerooms of year 11 have at the same time, on day 5 period 4. I don't care if we do have to wait a week I am not going to allow my half of year 11 do all the work and just add Ms Claire's homeroom to the mural. THAT'S NOT FAIR!!! I don not to be rude or hasity but the truth is I am not taking that kind of tolerance, from anyone. Yeah, so what if the other half of the year wants to put their names on the mural too. They have to work for it if they want their names on it.
