ASB students are often doing so much for us and our school events that we often forget how much time and effort they have to put into them they make sure to make our school feel more enjoyable for students with fun days and events, like spirit week. It’s one of the things our ASB students are in charge of they make sure to brainstorm fun things to put in this week and see which ideas are the best for students to have fun with. We probably think ASB seems easy and not hard to handle but I’ve seen people waking up early at 5 a.m. just to come to school and prepare for an event. At times you will even have to stay after school and help out.
You need a lot of commitment and time to be in ASB.
I asked one of our ASB students to express and answer some of my questions about this topic. I wanted to know the most stressful thing about being in ASB as a student. I asked this question and my interviewee stated, “I think that the most stressful thing about being in ASB is coming up with creative ideas to make this school more fun and creative with students because not everyone shares the same tastes and ideas about different things.” I can see why this could be very stressful for them since they all have to agree on certain options. Another thing that I was curious about was if they had a favorite event they had to decorate, they then stated, “I did have a favorite event that we had to help decorate, it was for the pink out football game or the football games in general. I think putting up the decorations is so much fun.” I’m glad this type of event was enjoyable for them. The last question I wanted to ask them was if they felt overwhelmed by any type of event they said they didn’t, it is enjoyable for them to decorate any event but this is only one student’s opinion it doesn’t count for all of them.
Overall I think ASB students deserve more appreciation because of how much they do for us and our school. Not many students want to participate in school events like they do, or have the time to stay after school or wake up early in the morning. That’s why they deserve this appreciation they help our school be a fun and creative place for students to enjoy coming every day.

Was this interview done anonymously and was this more than one person being asked? Is the Contributor an ASB member? That would be good if it was clarified, as to why the sources were not named.

This article is important because it talks about how ASB is stressful, and how they deserve more. For example, when Regina Zambrano said “ we probably think ASB seems easy and not hard to handle but I’ve seen people waking up early at 5 a.m. just to come to school and prepare for an event. At times you will even have to stay after school and help out.” This demonstrates how overworked ASB members are with little to no recognition. Additionally, the author wants the reader to understand how important ASB is to school and the things they do for the school. In summary, this shows why this article is important because it talks about how stressful, and under appreciated they are.

In this article I agree with the author’s argument that ASB deserves more. For example, “We probably think ASB seems easy and not hard to handle but I’ve seen people waking up early at 5 a.m. just to come to school and prepare for an event. At times you will even have to stay after school and help out.” One can see from this on how much it must take out of the ASB kids. It seems the author’s goal is to help get more praise and rewards for being in ASB. To conclude, this article I agree with because of how much work the ASB kids do for us.

In other words this article brings out the different ideas that the ASB students have done to make the school more enjoyable. In conclusion this article is very helpful for letting other people learn about the ASB students and their accomplishments.

This article is important because ASB deserves more attention and gratitude for the things they do. In the article it stated, “We probably think ASB seems easy and not hard to handle but I’ve seen people waking up early at 5 a.m. just to come to school and prepare for an event” This shows just how much dedication ASB has to wake up before the sun rises. It’s important to realize that many of our events have been thanks to ASB we wouldn’t be able to have any it had it not been for ASB’s hard work. In summary ASB deserves more recognition for everything they do for our school.

It’s important for people at SEMHS to start recognizing what ASB brings to the school because ASB students have to be on campus at 5 a.m. to set up for school events. For example, Regina Zambrano says “We probably think ASB seems easy and not hard to handle but I’ve seen people waking up early at 5 a.m. just to come to school and prepare for an event.” This is important because I’ve heard many students say that ASB is just a free period to mess around, and actually being in the ASB class it’s not just a free period. Every Tuesday/Wednesday we have meetings to plan for future events and decide what we want to do. Regina Zambrano wants the readers to know that it takes a lot of time and commitment to be a part of the ASB class/club. In summary, it’s important for students to acknowledge all the work asb students put into our campus.
