KOM Training

Today we had our day of KOM training, and it was so much fun. Last year, I didn't really have a clue of what I was doing and what I needed to do in order to be the best mentor that I could possibly be. Now, after being a mentor for a year, I kind of know what to expect now.

Well, today was really pretty fun. Besides getting out of an entire day's worth of classes, we got to play games, learn a new dance, and meet many new friends. The people who are on my "team" are really nice and we love to tease each other and get the others to come out of their shell. Trisha was one of the new people I met. She's a sophomore and really sweet, and I can't wait to get to know her. Another girl on my team is Kaitlyn. Come to find out, we're both going to be gone on the actual Kick Off day, so we kept trying to find a way to be there without actually being there. I think we've decided that we're going to get together before school's out and run through all the things we're supposed to do on that day. I think we can get it done.

I just have to say, though, that my favorite part of the day was learning the dance. I had my buddies all around me, and we were being as stupid as we possibly could. Screaming things like, "Knee, knee, heel, heel, snake, snake, LOOOOOWWWWW!" we seriously looked like we had gone of the deep end. Oh well, this is to make the freshmen comfortable with us while having a fun time so it doesn't matter how silly we look. :) Now I just can't wait for next year so I can meet my new freshmen and help them get accustomed to high school life.
