1. an assembling or coming together of a number of persons, usually for a particular purpose;
2. a group of persons gathered together, usually for a particular purpose, whether religious, political, educational, or social.
Part of my new job at Housel is the Leadership Teacher and ASB Advisor. Today was our first assembly...our FIRST assembly. So, last night I didn't sleep very well and this morning I did not even hit the snooze button! I ran around all day today trying to busy myself with stuff so I wouldn't get nervous. People would ask me if I was nervous and I'd always say it was like when I got married. You plan and you plan but ultimately what is going to happen happens...you don't have much control during the situation. The kids were nervous...I was nervous...none of us felt like we prepared enough...someone who'd never run the PA system did it for the first time...phew...
I was taking over after the long-time advisor had resigned the position. She is fabulous! And she'd been doing that for a LONG time...so no matter how much people told me not to...I couldn't help but feel like I had big shoes to fill. Ultimately what I learned is that I can lead this class the best I know how...without my own self-imposed constrictions.
You know what...it wasn't the MOST smooth assembly I've ever done...some of the competitions were messier than I thought they'd be...but the kids did SO good. They were nervous but they stepped up. Every single one of them helped clean up...it was AWESOME! And I love love LOVED that afterwards people were so pleased with the assembly. I've never seen their assemblies before so I have nothing to compare it to but I think all of the positive feedback is a good sign!
