“Beautiful Chaos” is how crew leader Ms. Park describes her crew. A one-of-kind response that may leave many wondering what she really meant. But if you spend just a little time with them, the meaning becomes clear: they are loud, creative, and a tight-knit group.
Take, for instance, their infamous basketball hoop story. “We had a basketball hoop,” numerous crew members said at once. They crafted a makeshift basket using a carton and a foam basketball—or maybe it was a dodgeball, who even remembers? Then, BAH—Salahuddin slammed into the shelf while playing against Saul, and just like that, the shelf met its tragic fate. The proof of their chaos is still there. If you ever want to look at it, take a trip to room 243. It is the first shelf on the left when you enter. A small price for fun, right?
But this crew isn’t just chaotic; they’re also remarkably talented. Many of them have artistic skills like Itzel, Data, Arianna, Maria, Derek, and others. For example, Data is very good at drawing Among Us characters.
And while Data’s art is memorable, his fainting story is equally so. “It was all red day. All my clothes were in red – even my socks. Then I bit my lip and it started bleeding.” The next thing he knows, he fainted.
Arianna’s fainting story is even more unique. “There was water in my ear because of that unconsciously I left the house and fainted by the house. When my mom called emergency and they told her the reason, she asked but why would she leave the house?” Guess what? The nurse explained that her brain had interpreted the water as an emergency, and she instinctively tried to walk to the hospital.
Curious about how this crew became so close? “We were segregated at first,” says Salahuddin. “But over time, we just started getting closer—there wasn’t a specific moment.”
“Summer is like a reset,” adds Ms. Park, hinting at how time away helps them return each year with fresh perspectives.
Their journey from being divided to becoming tightly knit speaks volumes about the power of time, patience, and shared experiences. It wasn’t one grand moment that brought them together—it was the little things: inside jokes, moments of chaos, and learning to lean on each other during challenges. Over time, they let their walls down and found ways to connect, whether through laughter or collaboration.
It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t always come in dramatic shifts. Sometimes, it’s a slow and steady process of learning to appreciate each other’s differences and realizing how much stronger you are together.
