Twisted 24

    Wai'anae, Hawai'i
    October 29th, 2013

    The Waianae High School bell rings, marking the end of another school day. Students file out of classes, ready to enjoy a relaxing three day weekend. However, hardly anyone moves a muscle in the Searider Productions building.  The atmosphere is anything but relaxing. The students are only hours away from producing a project that usually takes five-weeks in the next 24 hours.

    Abilities are tested and limits are pushed in the race against time. The hunt for stories began earlier in the week. New mobile journalists and veterans alike found ways to ensure the success of their project despite running into crippling obstacles.

    “I used to use procrastination as my crutch, but that’s not really an option in SP,” says SP Student Marcela Bator.

    Some could argue that giving up precious weekend time is a questionable price for a completely optional event.

    “Maybe if it were something I were passionate about, then I would probably stay. But you guys are crazy, just jumping right into it like that,” said Waianae High School student Lester Aquino. 

    Still, there are others that believe in the power of new experience.

    “This is something I want to do,” said Bator. “I’d say that they’re missing out, ‘cause we are here learning about work ethic and this is probably the toughest assignment we’re gonna get.”

    Maybe not the toughest. The reason for the camp was also in preparation for Student Televison Network, a competition held in March to find the best of the best in the nation.

    “I don’t wanna just meet, I mean, that would be nice, I’d like to not fail, but I’d also like to be one of the best,” added Bator. 

    But under all the self-improvement that is emphasized, the real goal is to get the students to bond and interact. Twisted Twenty-Four knocks social barriers that might prevent the SP members from working together as a team.

    It turns out that the purpose behind these hocurs aren’t so “twisted” after all. Exposing young adults to time pressure, social interactions, and real life career challenges isn’t just for kicks. How efficiently you perform with school work can tie directly in to your work ethic as a successful working adult.

    At the end of the day, it’s the new wisdom that stays once the last laptop closes, marking the end of the day for a job well done.
