HaU BLOG Posts
Being a part of steering has been such a wonderful experience! Steering retreat was one of my favorite events especially the one in Spring (you know, the one where Vanessa received her name “Lil Toe Condom”). I got to reflect on the year and my progress as a steering member. It’s such a beautiful feeling to know that even though we may have been a little stressed with school, work, promoting, making sure we had everything ready for an HaU event, etc. We still did it. We made it happen and I’m blessed to have been a part of a strong team.
Having retreat gave us time to bond and get to know each other. The times I interacted with a steering member it was mainly about business. Don’t get me wrong, our adventures while on steering were quite the extraordinary way to get to know someone. For instance, being a part of steering gave me the opportunity to meet an amazing YouTuber, Andrea, who always made me feel comfortable around her, laughed with me at random things, and gave me life changing makeup advice. Had it not been for the long commutes we made to promote our events, I wouldn’t have learned about Mady (aka the one who coined Litty McGuire), her family, and about her passion for dance..and Maluma. Sofia. Oh my goodness, I could have been having the worst day but Sofia’s happiness, laughter, and kind words never failed to change my mood and instill confidence in me. More people need to meet her, she's awesome. And whether I needed someone to record me drifting the go-kart at Mulligans, have a lunch date with, or stay in and watch a movie, Eleven was there. Gaby. I don’t know if it was the fact that adding me to her car would give her access to the carpool lane (lol jk), but I appreciate the rides back to LA. I always feel so free-spirited and chill when I’m around her. Noemi, not only is she awesome for being a part of Apt. 111 but also being a part of the great duo of advisors made me happy. I learned about her passion for school counseling and I can’t think of anything else that suites her better. Odalys, she is such a little weirdo, I love it. I enjoy every conversation I have with her and I love that she introduced our theme song "Scooby Doo Pa Pa". I'm going to miss her crazy USC stories. Isa, she's provided me with a new way of viewing things. I talked to her about my insecurities and how I often doubted myself and had a low self-esteem. I appreciate the advice she gave me and being able to feel as comfortable as I did talking about those things with her. With Vanessa, it’s as if our feelings were synced. I appreciate her messages when she sensed I was having a tough week. We made many memories creating those promo videos, jamming to Cardi, and getting our nails done together. We even came out on TV together! Collaborating with Eli for our socials was a memorable experience. Her unconditional support meant so much to me. Going to miss how formal she starts to speak when she feels herself getting emotional. Had it not been for Michelle's contributions, I wouldn't have had the beautiful experience at RAZA weekend. It warms my heart to know that she successfully welcomed the Latinx community. I respect her work and I know she will only continue to grow from here. Evelyn is one of the kindest people I have come across. I will always remember a particular night we studied together with other Hermanas. I remember feeling overwhelmed, at the verge of crying, but I didn't tell anybody. I wanted to go home so no one would notice how stressed I was, but instead I went to Evelyn's apartment. Being there made me want to cry even more (lol, for a good reason) because her kindness made me stop for a second and think about the good in my life and how blessed I was to be around her at the right moment. Ms. G, thank you for all the study dates, Sam Smith jam sessions, advice on adopting dogs, and for ordering pizza with me ...and sneaking it into YRL. Can’t wait to be emailing each other lesson plans and other teacher stuff. I appreciate the moments I spent with all of you! It was truly a time to overcome challenges and grow throughout the process. I’m excited to see the new steering and what great contributions they will make to the organization. Love, Jammilex
