There are many variables...

An interview with Chrissy Pullig-Gomez

So, I finally worked up the courage to speak to Chrissy about my interview stuff, and she was keen to the idea, but sadly, I first spoke to her in math class. Thus, there were many variables about the situation (or at least, around it). However, I was still able to ask her a bit about student council, and learned that, according to her, she joined student council because she finds it fun, and because student council members get to set up school events. That was about as far as I got in math class, and I had to ask Chrissy the rest of the questions outside of school. I was able to do so, and I found out that to Chrissy, student council is an opportunity to represent everybody and do what's right for the school. Her ideas to change the school are apparently making it so that school spirit is strengthened, and people will be excited about coming to school. She's one who's glad to have this student leader group, and said that everyone on it has shown leadership skills. Student council is very fun to her, but it sometimes gets out of hand, and that it's hard to reach a compromise with someone who has an idea that conflicts with yours, so it looks like they work a lot like the U. S. House of Representatives. How long will it be before two main parties form and battle it out for control of the student body? Or will that day ever come? Or has it already come? Ladies and gentlemen, I do not know the answers to those questions. However, I digress. I asked Chrissy about her positions, and she thinks that homework takes too much time, and thus she doesn't like it, and that she loves sports and arts which can be made more social if they're done through school. On the subject of morals, Chrissy said that she tries to stick with the morals of her faith, which is Christianity. An excellent idea, for the better judgment of man is always at least somewhat clouded. My apologies, though, I digress again. Anyway, Chrissy isn't a real marine when it comes discipline, but she still likes things to be orderly rather than frantic, and likes (good) grades and the posting of grades here at SMS, but it might be safe to say that she doesn't like the process by which one keeps good grades good. Perhaps that process is a bit easier to get through to her, for she seems to like school and all its teachers, and the combination of the two produces a generally fun experience for her. The kind of activities and such that you go to on student council were the dances, assemblies, games, and Guide Room stuff, according to Chrissy, and another comment she threw in was, well, I didn't write it down exactly word for word but it was something along the lines of...

"Our schools are so good that a lot of students take it for granted, and we're lucky to have such good teachers."

When asked about her opinions about nosy nagging interviewers, the bonus question, Chrissy said that she had to do yearbook interviews anyway. In closing, thanks Chrissy, and let's hope that all of you on SMS Student Council prove to truly have the good leadership skills you said you and your fellows have shown.
