the most important ten of 2010 #5
i planned some pretty great events (if i do say so myself)
in high school student council was my thing. i tried sports, they were okay. i did the whole band/ choir thing, it was okay. but student council. student council worked for me. i'm kinda bossy, so maybe that's why. but i like planning things, creating hype, themes, advertising, etc.
of my senior year stuco activities i was involved with, i had a couple i was most proud of. first was the beginning of "super fan night." i quit basketball at the beginning of the year and it allowed me to focus on other things, like student council of course. i planned dv's first super fan night, complete with people dressing insane (even got someone wearing a panther suit), a cheer off, prizes, and an amazing super fan cape for the winner. it was quite a fun night. it brought great attendance to the game against our rival and was a success.
then there was "caring of coach". this was an event with much more meaning. for the more info go to this site and for the story go here. it was a fundraiser for our head football coach and it was a great community event. we raised over $15,000 dollars. this far exceeded expectations, as well as the turnout. it made me LOVE my community. i already did, but seriously. those people are amazing. the event had two parts. first was the bake sale and football game. the football game was local news anchors (who were great great help in advertising, gained more sponsors, etc) against the high school football players. then we headed to the fire hall were the firefighters cooked us dinner. the line was out the door and down the street. amazing amazing amazing! it made me want to cry, but i had too much more to do :) then where the fire engines usually are kept we had a silent auction with fabulous items, all donated from my incredible community. we also had a magician. so. in one night we raised $15,000. and we were SO HAPPY. sadly, that only made a dent in the funds mr. jund needs for his treatment and the things he needs to live with his condition. (MS) nonetheless, it really brought the community together and really made me appreciate the great people i grew up around.
last but not least was my graduation party. i really cannot take much of the credit this event, my mom did most of it, with the help of some great family friends. but i thought it was pretty fun :) i'll do a little run through for you. you walk to my backyard. the weather was gorgeous! there were tables and chairs set up, a tent with tables in it as well. in the tent was a tv with a slideshow that my good friend elizabeth made that took you through my life. and down the middle of the tables was a really cute fabric and pictures.. idk really how to explain it was it was like party planner perfect. then on the side of the tent (outside) were two tables. one had a box for cards, with a senior picture and then a bulletin board that people put little notes for me on. on the other table was just various awards and an BYU things i made, and then my "30 favorite things" in a book, scrapbook style. this took me foreverrrr but it was worth it.
anyways i know this is long and you probably didn't read it all. there you go. ps i want to be a party planner.
and day six will go with seven tomorrow :)
