Investigation + Preparation
INVESTIGATION
The Vivire 2018 prom was organized and hosted by the class of 2019 for the class of 2018. As a class we had to come up with the theme and date the seniors agree, and we concluded with an Oscar theme and put the event on the 3rd of March. Then we divided the class to different groups to work on.
PREPARATION
I was in the decorations group and the photography group. For decorations, we made sure we stick to the theme of Oscars and try to be as professional as we could while staying on budget. We thought having red carpets would really match with the theme and people would love to feel like celebrities and take their pictures with the red carpet. We also thought handing oscars would be a nice alternative to handing sashes. We also occasionally ask the seniors what they would prefer to have or not have in the prom. Later, we found out that we should also prepare senior gifts for every seniors. We wanted to make sure the senior gifts are presentable and meaningful so we thought of making a small wooden box with a photo of their class, a photo of them, a DIY keychain, dry flowers and personal notes from juniors.
Action
For materials and backdrop decorations, we divided to two groups, one going to Sampeng market and the other group going to Chaktuchak market. I was in the group that went to Sampeng and we found cloths for the back drop. The Chacktuchak group found cute heart shaped boxes for the senior gift. For the senior gifts, I helped out with finding each seniors nice looking individual photographs and print them in a glossy paper and cut them in a size that could fit in the box. I also helped with making the DIY keychains where I print them out and cover them with plastic sheets and cut them. For the personal letters, I created a google form where everyone can write to seniors. I also helped out with organizing and designing the senior gift boxes. Right before the prom night, we went to the hotel to complete the decorations and the backdrop.
​
During the prom night, I was the main photographer. I took photos of people with the backdrop. I also took photos when the seniors walk on the red carpet to receive their oscars and when everyone is dancing. I uploaded the photos on a drive so everyone can get their pictures
Reflection + Demonstration
REFLECTION
Although there were a lot of obstacles and difficulties in organizing and cooperating for the prom, in the end it was a nice experience and the process was memorable. We had to find alternatives and solutions to every big and small problem that has come up and it almost seemed like it never stopped. But because we work as a big team, we were able to help each other out to achieve our main goal to successfully organize a nice looking prom night which the seniors would enjoy.
DEMONSTRATION
I learned the importance of collaborating with others and communication. In many cases we have to work with our peers and learn to trust them. We can take the opportunity to help each other not only to get work done but to learn and grow to be better people. I have also learned that because not everyone has the same ideas and opinions, it is crucial to understand about compromising and coming up with solutions that suits with the general. I really want to thank my friends and classmates to give me the opportunity to work with them and learn to make decisions together.
