2. 3 Things I Learned:
- I met new people who I am excited to work with throughout this year.
- I learned that I get to participate in a two day retreat which I am thoroughly looking forward to. If I want to go though I have to be sure to turn in my medical form at the next meeting with is September 13th.
- I learned that I will have homework but that this homework is not just mindless reading and worksheets. It will be meaningful and reflective. It will also help me to grow as a leader and enable me to participate better in group discussions at the meetings.
3. Introduction: My name is Stephanie Surblis. I am the oldest of three children in my family. I am studying to be an Intervention Specialist with Dual Certification in both Mild-Moderate and Moderate-Intensive. I am excited to get involved on campus but am not yet sure in exactly which clubs I would like to participate. In high school I was involved with my high school's pro-life club, yearbook staff, Mock Trial team, NHS, and Track Team. I was also the three year captain of my high school's bowling team. One of my biggest accomplishments was being the co-founder with one of my best friends of my high school's Harry Potter Club. I am very excited to be living on campus and being involved with the Honors Learning Community along with the Falcon Leadership Institute. I hope to get involved and generally have fun while still studying hard without getting homesick or overwhelmed.
4. Definition of Leadership: I think leadership can be defined many different ways. There are more dramatic obvious displays of leadership such as Student Government or what Alyssa is doing by creating a new organization and attempting to make it into a tradition. This type of leadership is very admirable but I also appreciate service leadership which I think of as quieter. It is a way that you live your life simply respecting people and working to make the world a better place and letting people notice the example you set. They will follow.
5. Picture: I found opportunities to find opportunities to get involved on campus, both for fun and volunteering.
Stephanie! I will be attending the volunteer fair on Tuesday with my roommate at well, maybe we could go together! Volunteering and staying involved has always been a huge part of my life and I want it to continue to be. I'm glad an organization like FLI is able to bring us together and work towards our own service project as well(:
ReplyDeleteI would love to go together! My number is 330-631-5366 if you want to text me so we go at the same time.
DeleteYou've got some cool stuff under your belt! Especially Harry Potter Club and Bowling Team Captain! I'm sure I'll see you a lot this year, both in FLI and out (you being one of my girlfriend's roommates and all), so I'm sure we'll get to be pretty close! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is Nick Frank by the way. Google+ used my YouTube account name for some odd reason. :/
ReplyDeleteI love that you're school had a bowling team, that's so cool! I also love your definition of a leader, because there really are different types of leaders.
