Building a raft?!?!

No its building rappor.On wednesday 25th we had our final set of workshops. We were learning how  to build rapport, which is basically building relationships. We had to wear crazy wigs and masks and Emma was wearing a banana costume!! I also volunteered to help demonstrate bad and good ways of introducing yourself or having a conversation. It was another great experience with Denise.

Looking well Emma

Me and my bestieee=)

Our next workshop was all about makeup, skin care and learning how to tie our ties!! It was actually such an interesting one because i will take so many tips into advice when doing my make up or styling my hair.

yeah those are hair nets..

Last but not least was our workshop on work experience. It was held by our guidance councilors. We went over loads of tips for the work experience. It was actually so helpful and made me even more excited for working in the vet.

Laughter Yoga HAHAHA

So on the 18th of September the day after Carlingford we had more workshops. We were all so tired and I had a cold and felt horrible. I still went into school because I didn't want to miss the experience.

Our first workshop was the massage again. This time it was head massage. It was so relaxing, I felt great after it. It was so cool the way we learned how to take headaches away and how to help someone relax...I showed my sister the other day to help get rid of her headache and she it worked!! It was great experience!

Our second workshop was Laughter Yoga, it was so hilarious. We put on masks and had to fake laugh until our laughter become real. Some people didn't enjoy it and it was a bit different from things we usually do but you just have to get into and enjoy. It was a fun and weird experience.

Our final workshop was about walking in heels and skincare. It was my favorite of the 3 that day. I learned things that i would use in the future. It also inspired my idea for mini company. All in all the day was amazing even if we were tired.

I Wore a Wig and Sang Mama Mia

On Wednseday 4th of September we had our first workshops. Our first workshop was Positive Parties. At 9.05. we headed down to room 21 and there was a big sign on the door saying 'The Party's Here' and there were hula hula necklaces on the chairs with sweets. When Positive Denise arrived she gave us all name tags to wear to show how we felt and our names, i was 'Crazy Sarah Lou'. There was such a good vibe in the room. The first activity we did involed underwear...now at first we were kinda like what is she going to want us todo. We then got into pairs and had to put the underwear(which were never worn phewww!) on in as many different ways as we could. Aoife and I won, we got a chocolate bar yaaaay! Then we learned how to anchor postive moments and My friends and I volunteered to 'help' out and we ended up wearing colourful wigs and singing Mama Mia. Then we learned tricks on how to block out other peoples negative energy. In the end of the workshop, i was feeling great and having a blast! We then said goodbye and that we would see her in a few weeks.

My Class Tereshkova 

Then our next workshop was 'Living Life Without Limits' and a guy named Austin was talking to us. The moment he entered he had a massive smile on his face and he was so welcoming and friendly. I knew it would be another amazing workshop. We worked on presenting ourselves, having confidence and facing our fears. We learnt how words aren't the most important asset in confidence and first impressions, actions and tones are. We played games that played with our minds and showed us how our eyes can trick us into seeing things that aren't real. It was another great workshop and I'm glad I got the experience to try it.

The final workshop was about energy and releasing stress. She started off by showing us how to control the energy and ground it. Then we connected with our friends and one received and the other was the giver and gave the energy. We also learned how to massage properly and we learned different strokes. We learned a stress release technique.
By the end of the day I was positive, confident and relaxed. It was a great day.
