The dorm retreat trip created fantastic memories for many to experience and share, as they were unforgettable and meaningful.
The dorm retreat students and parents launched from the school on November 10 at 9:00 am. The dorm students who attended enjoyed a long sleep and playful time on the bus until their arrival in Cameron Highlands. The Dalat dorm community stayed in a guesthouse called Cheefoo. Before arrival, the students were able to go and see the tea plantation where many students created some great memories and took a vast number of pictures. During this short trip at the tea plantation, many people got the chance to try the freshly picked tea leaves of various flavors.
When coming back to the guesthouse, many students stayed outside to enjoy the facility by playing basketball, football, and swinging around the playground.
Later, the dorm community had in-depth sessions about relationships and spiritual guidance, specifically on how to identify healthy and unhealthy relationships.
One thing many dorm students wanted to participate in was the talent show. Many people spent hours to prepare their performance for everyone in the dorm community. There were many talented and brave performances. One that popped out to me personally was the performance of Lydia Kim (11) and Wansuk Kunawaradisai (10). They both sang “Redbone” by Childish Gambino and “Two Ghosts” by Harry Styles. These two made an excellent performance, and the catchy songs were ones everyone knew; at the end of the performance, everyone was wandering around and singing the two songs that were stuck in their heads. I interviewed Kunawaradisai and asked him what his feelings about the performance were, and he said, “It started out a little scary, but after a few seconds of playing, it was lots of fun. I felt a lot more comfortable and enjoyed playing.”
After the talent show, all the dorm students were treated with fresh and delicious strawberry shortcake, which were mouthwatering and sweet. They ate these while enjoying a gentle breeze of cold weather to chillax in.
The next morning, all the students prepared for departure from the guesthouse and then took a stop at the strawberry plantation. The strawberry plantation had various types of recipes served with strawberries, which were picked right off the plant. From eyeing around, most of the dorm students got strawberry ice cream and strawberry milkshakes, which were unbelievably amazing to devour.
Overall, the dorm students made great memories to share with their friends and created a strong, meaningful relationship with the people they live with.
