Today was an awesome day in Leadership class! Our discussions don't revolve around what one person's opinion is ........ we dig deep and think of real reasons things happen in life and how we can improve or change them. I feel involved in discussions and always come to class eager to hear what others have to say about our next topic! I feel we really become a "family" during second period. No one is afraid to speak their mind or get made fun of. We are all encouraging and supportive of our peers.
I think what it means to "give back to the school" or "do something for the school" can be shown in a variety of ways. Personally, I feel like you don't need to stand out, be noticed or attract attention. I know the small things count in life and I try to do the best I can. Volunteers help because they want to make a difference and they can also be "behind the scenes". Leaders are also different and have different qualities. However, to do something for you school means to have a positive impact and help those in need. It means to make your school a better place in some way. I know when I walked out of class today with our lesson in mind, I bent down and picked up the garbage sitting on the ground and held the door for someone behind me on crutches. I want to speak to others through my actions around the school. You can help in lots of little ways too! I have respect for everyone in our school. No matter shape, size, gender or race... they have my respect. I believe respect and putting yourself in someone else's shoes is essential. I remember how I felt the first few days of grade 9. I felt lost, discouraged, and at times embarrased. I want people to be excited to become a Bomber... not to be afraid of getting initiated. I am ready to make the change and welcome everyone into our school.
I am proud of how I have served the school the past 2 years. I have participated in sport teams and joined clubs. I feel I have supported our school spirit by going to school wide activities and setting a good example for students around me. I attended meetings and have been dedicated to my school work. I want others to be proud of the school they go to and the accomplishments they have been a part of! Im ready to kick our spirit into overdrive!!
I wouldnt say others have stopped me from doing my best or getting involved, but I have been experienced peer pressure before. I am my own self and I know I live with the choices I make, good or bad. I don't let others influence me or push me around. I feel I have grown up ever since the first few days of grade 9. I almost found it to be a mission to decide where I was going, who to interact with and what to get involved with. When the years go by, you follow your interests and find friends you can depend on. These friends will not lead you down the wrong path. They will stand behind you and help you do the best you can.
Work together, show respect, make a difference, have fun and be your best self!! You can't go wrong!
