DECEMBER ASB REPORT
ASB Formal Meeting Report
Name: Laila Irigoyen
Position: Rally Commissioner
Date: December 16, 2019
Position Assessment:
So, we just had the Holiday Night Rally which has been my favorite so far because of how low key it is. We started the script super early and I liked the games this year more than the past year. We have to work on the Procedure Form this week teehee. I have never filled out one and I don’t know if Royce has so I will be asking for lots of help. But it’s about time I learned how to do one. I was so nervous about the presentation we had for Valley Christian after Mr. Hobbes destroyed our slide. I was practically sweating through my shirt because of how nervous I was. I recited my notecards to my friend so much that even she knew what I had to say. We have some time before Winterfest but I know there’s plenty going on to keep us busy.
Standing Committee:
I am in the Sports Relations committee with Nico, Malery, Anthony, and Royce. We just make sure that all sports are recognized equally and support their events. There hasn’t been much to promote besides football but they got their recognition and support at the Yearbook Senior Superlatives Rally.
Special Committee:
Caryssa and I have been working on our Valentine Hearts. There was a mixup about the number of hearts to get but we ended up getting them. Someone who shall not be named had almost all of the hearts so it was a good laugh. We also had Dude Be Nice week which, unfortunately, I couldn’t participate in. I wanted to be at the rally SO BAD but I was deathly sick that day and I had a huge race the next day. I was still able to watch the videos (which is my favorite part) and I trusted Josh to guide United accordingly.
Concerns:
I don’t really have any concerns at the moment, besides when Royce was absent and I had to present on my own. I’ve gotten a lot closer with some of the freshmen and I would die for some of the seniors. I feel like I have more friends or am closer with more people in the class this year than I was last year. It’s a nice feeling and I’ve been working hard to bond with the class.
Positive Comment:
My positive comment is how well Kade did on the Christmas Doors. He was a little confused at first but he texted me and we figured it out. He did a good job at planning and keeping us on track/time. Naomi did an amazing job with formal and I know she worked so hard on it. I’m not even in the sophomore class and I know how much thought and effort she put into formal.
One Change:
I wouldn’t change a thing. I love Leadership so much and it’s definitely my favorite class. I was talking with Kate and we both agreed that we feel like this year we haven’t learned much, but I can say Leadership has taught me alot. I genuinely learn something new everyday and my day wouldn’t be the same without this class. Everyone is beginning to slow down and lose momentum so my only hope is that we can keep the energy.
My Impact:
I think my impact has and will be “being there.” Over the summer I just focused on being the friend that I wanted to have in my life and it brought me a lot closer with Ana. We were vulnerable with each other and randomly checked in to see how the other person was doing. I’ve talked to Carmen about her friendships and Malery about life. I just want people to feel like they’ll always have a friend in me. One week about five of my friends all cried to me about how upset they were and I posted on instagram “If it doesn't make God’s heart happy, why do you think it will fulfill hours? Tears are prayers too. They travel to God when we can’t speak.” I had so many people tell me that it touched them and THATS what I want. Social media can be so beneficial if people use it to boost each other up instead of tearing one another down.
So, this was last meetings impact and it hasn’t changed. It makes me really happy to know that I actually have an impact and have something to focus on. Recently, I had a friend call me that I haven’t talked to in months. She ranted to me about life and all her frustrations and the call lasted about 2 hours. She told me that she remembered me saying that I could always call her, so she did. It made my night that she actually listened to me when I said I would be there for her. I always preach that people can always come to me because they actually can. I know how important it is to talk to someone and I would never want anyone to be in a position where they felt like they couldn’t open up to someone.
