Last week!

Elise May was our speaker last week and a couple of her more simple points really stood out to me. The first thing she did was have us introduce ourselves and talk to the people around us, which at first I thought was a little cliche because we had been in the same class the whole semester, but then I realized I really didn't know most of the people the class. Though I've been trying since coming to college to be outgoing and talk to those I don't know, It hit me that I need to work harder to remember people's names and get to know those around me even if they're acquaintances.

The next thing Elise May did was have us write the different things we learned about leadership on the board. It kind of overwhelmed me to see how many aspects of being a good leader and person we should work on. It's relatively easy to take a week at a time and learn about and implement an aspect of leadership, but then when the next week comes, it's hard to keep building upon those skills instead of just moving on. I guess I'm just saying that you can work on leadership skills your whole life and never be the perfect leader, and there's always something you can improve. But that's good, because we become better people and better leaders.
