The First of many Wednesday

Every Wednesday we have work experience but our first term of work experience won’t start for a few weeks. Wednesday the 3rd of September was our first day of workshops because we have no classes scheduled so the school arranged a day for us were we could learn how to act in an accident, become better young ladies and have fun and laughing with our new class. For the day to be fun and also a way to prepare us for life after school we had a first aid workshop, etiquette workshop and a positive party.

To my surprise the first aid wasn't boring as I expected. Many laughs were shared once we became comfortable and weren’t afraid to talk. Along with laughing and having fun we learnt things some of us didn’t know before the day. We were told when an accident occurs you stay calm and we learnt what to do in some situations. I learnt how to do a sling and that you put your head forward when you have a nose bleed not back.

After the first aid workshop we changed room and went to the etiquette workshop to become the young ladies we already are. To start the workshop we tried to find out things that we didn’t know about the people in the class. Then we walked a red carpet. Yes you read that right! We learnt how to stand up straight and walk in our heels. For the “lesson” to be more fun we did it on a red carpet. I say it was funny for the teachers to see us stumbling in our heels as they walked by to get to their classes. After we removed our heels and complained for a few minutes about our feet hurting, we exfoliated our hands and they smelt and felt amazing for the rest of the day.

In my opinion the best party of the day was the positive party. If I’m 100 per cent honest it was a very weird but an extremely fun way to end the day. We did laughing yoga which was to make us turn a fake laugh to a real laugh and it oddly enough it worked. It was all very out of our comfort zones and nobody really wanted to do it at first but when we did, we were all surprised that we were almost in tears from the laughter!I can’t wait for work experience but I don’t want to start at the same time. I’d rather do workshops every Wednesday because it was so fun and everybody got to talk to one another. After the day I feel like our class has become closer together. But on the 24th of September I will be able to wake up happy knowing I don’t have to go to school but at the same time nervous as I walk out into the work world for my first day of work experience.
