Part of our job as the leaders of this week is to generate interest and excitement. If we believe this week is a fun and important thing to do, it will become one. Feel free the snap, insta, and tweet what you're doing this week and #NHSWOS it up.
I got a neat opportunity to share my thoughts with Unleashed this evening, and I was asked to share how I perceived the event so far. I thought it would be interesting for you to hear what I had to say. My honest answer follows:
How have you perceived student reactions so far? (In terms of preparation, volunteer involvement or anything else)
My perception right now is that the students who want to make something out of this event are the ones getting the most out of it. Since we've never done it before, I'm asking for a lot of trust from students as I promise that this will be worth our time. So, students that have taken on project ideas or helped with the website or schedule are the ones that are feeling the most fulfilled right now by what they are accomplishing (albeit stressed). But, there is a significant portion of our membership that is still waiting to see if it's worth their time and my hope is that by celebration time on Saturday, they will have found a way to get involved and feel that their membership has been validated.
My other concern is that with so many projects demanding student volunteers, we may be stretched a bit thin. However, I remind myself that we have only 12 events planned while we have over 100 Juniors and over 90 Seniors to help. Even if every current member chose only 1 of the 12 events to be a part of, we'd still have nearly 10 students per project to get the job done! It's going to come down to a commitment to the cause on an individual basis. I hope Juniors are planning to make a great first impression, and I hope Seniors are planning to go out on a real high note. It's going to take all of us!
In short, we're the ones in control of our success or failure. I'm pretty excited about it.
