It is really hard to sum up everything i have gained from this class. Friendships, core leadership leadership values, and so much more.I came into this class not knowing what to expect. My goals during this quarter, for this class, was to develop my understanding of leadership and develop new friendships with my classmates. Hopefully i have accomplished both. There were many things that were important to me, throughout the quarter.
Meeting new people was my first goal when entering this class. At first i was nervous, just like any first day of school. I set out to make friends and hopefully that happened. I began really looking forward to 3:30 with the hopes of seeing the people i enjoyed going to class with. I can honestly say that i enjoyed being in a class with each and every one of you. Lori, Casey and everyone of you made this class enjoyable and made me look forward to this class every Wednesday afternoon.
There are many places where i am definitely looking forward to growing in my leadership development. This Summer, i will be lucky enough be lead Orientation Groups for incoming Freshman. My goal when leading these retreats is to give the incoming Freshman the same experience i had when i first came to SCU. I was nervous, i was shy, and i was really scared of this next step in my journey to college. But, when i arrived here and met the amazing leaders and students that i would be spending the next four years with, i became relaxed and extremely happy to be a part of this family.
During these Orientation sessions i hope to allow these kids to feel comfortable in this next gigantic step in their lives. For many, this will be their first time away from home for large amounts of time. This can be a nerve racking experience, especially when you may not know many people and are trying desperately to make friends. I want to deliver the same experience that my OLs gave to me. With the help of my fellow OL, i know that i can grow in my leadership and be the best possible leader i can be.
Hunter,

Hunter, I think you will make a great OL! You have a down to earth personality mixed with outgoingness. I think it's inspiring how you want to share the experience you had with your previous OL with your new freshies! Have a great summer as an OL! You are an awesome person and I'm glad we got to experience ELP together!
