Gus:

As students leaders, Kelsey and I were looking forward to it. But, as people continued to disrupt class and be nuisances, we got very frustrated and irritated. That being said, the day itself was quite good. We had guest speaker Debbie Gray come in and talk to us about herself and she gets through life with a “difability” (she didn’t like saying disability as it was degrading). We also had a number of seminars talking about leadership and different methods of leading.

Kels:

Our community goal for the day was to split up the forming groups among the community by randomly selecting people to move to different spots to where they would usually sit, and who they would sit with.

My goal was to get everyone to DEARR ten minutes early so that we could get through headcount and announcements and start on time. We got everyone together and had headcount done by 4:55 which was good.

My highlight of the day was talking and listening to Debbie, she was amazing; she really inspired me and got me thinking about how I want to live.

Next time I am student leader I really hope that everyone gives me their attention and respects me, as that didn’t really happen this time.

Gus:

My goal was to get everyone to take on tasks they normally wouldn’t so they could develop trust and respect, so I got people who hadn’t yet said anything in morning class headcount to speak up and tell us about the day. To try and make the day more enjoyable, we got everyone to say their name instead of their number at headcount. We also tried to get people laughing with a game before evening class called “Pandemic”. To wrap up, I hope next time I do student leader duties that people pay me and the other S.L the same respect that they themselves would want.
