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.
