Last night I went to a party after my Rainbow Girls initiation. I had a really good time there. It took over two hours to get to where the dance was. When I got there I met my big sister Chrysta. Brianna ran up to us and pulled us into the crowd. We played around and ran in circles and acted crazy! It was a lot of fun with my new sisters. Later in the night, I ran into one of my new Rainbow sisters crying. I got some other sisters that I knew. They all rushed to comfort her, and I did too. I learned that Rainbow Girls are there for each other. Now I plan to show part of my Rainbow spirit by showing others comfort, both inside and outside of the Rainbow Girls. I am looking forward to future events.

Last night I was initiated into the Rainbow Girls! I was nervous because I was afraid of messing up. When the door closed, my first thought was ‘they are locking me out’. When someone came out my thought was ‘finally’.

When I walked in everyone was staring at me. It was freaky! There was a lot of talking and walking next. I learned that there is a lot of commitment in being a Rainbow Girl.

When they finally said I was a Rainbow Girl I though ‘Yay!’ and I didn’t care that everyone was staring at me. I wanted to do a happy dance!

Now I plan to participate in this the best I can. I feel ecstatic and nervous about being a Rainbow Girl. I hope everyone likes me and they never regret having me!

She was so adorable asking so many great questions about rainbow. She asked a few questions like what to expect at the meetings, and do we serve food or snacks at the meetings. It was very interesting to hear what is most important when joining a “club” in an eleven year olds mind. She is very smart and knows many different types of rocks. That conversation got started when she showed me her cool “worry stone” because she wanted to know if she could bring that to the meetings. Athena is a very nice, smart, and sweet girl, I am so excited to bring her into Rainbow and I hope everyone else is too!

I was stationed at the game called “Play it by Ear.” This game had pennies in soda cans, and you had to put the cans in order from lightest to heaviest by shaking and lifting the cans. If they won it under a minute, they would receive a coupon for a free milkshake or something enjoyable. It was a lot of fun and over 300 people showed up. I would say that it was a SUCCESS!!
