May 9th
Arianna Tanimura
To complete my 19th hour, I massaged Ari, senior class president and head of senior ball.
It was a couple of days before senior ball and I stopped by B-8 just to spend time with my friends there. I noticed that she was working and stressing out about the ball tables and layout so I took the importunity to massage her. I gave her a standard shoulder and arm massage.
After the massage, she said she felt a lot more relaxed and refreshed. I paused in the middle of the massage because something caught my attention but once I started again, she expressed great relief and gratitude.
Ari and I aren't very close on a personal level, but we do help each other in the classes we share. Even though we aren't really close, I felt comfortable massaging her because her situation is all too familiar to me. She was stressed, tense, and under pressure, but a massage can make time go by a little slower.
I find myself under a lot of stress more often than not but I know from experience that massages can really help me calm down. I just hope to continue helping people out as the year dwindles down to the final days of our high school career. And I do want to continue doing this after the Capstone.
