The End

Well, this has been a fantastic semester! I have loved it! Also, I strongly feel as though my leadership skills have grown a great amount. Last week in class, we had the chance to hear from our student body president. She was great! She focused her thoughts on seeking and creating service opportunities. I learned a lot, and enjoyed this presentation so much! In class, I really learned about the importance of serving others. This is by far the best quality of a leader! Serving does not necessarily have to be a big and major event, but it can be a small and simple act. I feel that the small things are what really matter. There are so many opportunities to serve those around us, whether we are in a leadership position or not.

leadership for change/servant leadership

Overall, I was really glad that this week we are able to just do something fun before finals. With finals coming up, I have found myself becoming more and more stressed out. So, I decided to take some time for myself this week. I got with some of my good friends and was able to play some basketball. I LOVE BASKETBALL!!! It just relaxes me. So, I was extremely thankful to be able to take some time this week to play.
The other week, we were able to learn about servant leadership. Throughout the entire lecture, I kept thinking about the good old scripture mastery of Mosiah 2:17. To sum this scripture up, when you are serving others, you are serving God. How true is this? I have always found it amazing to serve others. When I serve others around me, I always find that I leave the situation a better individual. I love service with all my heart and am thankful that Heavenly Father is constantly wiling to bless and serve me. In leadership, service is crucial to success. It doesnt matter what position you hold-you still must find ways to serve. By doing this, others will be more wililng to work with and follow you. Also, I strongly believe that while serving each other, both will gain a greater love and appreciation for eachother.
