heartfelt, HotStart

was asked to write a testimonial about how rewarding being a student leader is and this is what I wrote after cracking my head for an hour. Don't get me wrong, I do complain a lot and look tired most of the time, but I L-O-V-E wat I do. But most of the time, you don't really see the things that are right in front of you. As I constantly review what has happened in the past year, I could see for myself that the rewards were right there.

Testimonial:

Through my journey as a student leader, I’ve honed many skills but I realized that the real perks are the intangibles things such as: the laughter of newfound friends, the appreciative “Thank you” from freshmen & graduates alike, the acknowledgement that what we’ve done has made school a fun and better place to study in. Not to mention the great many people I’ve met and the lifelong friendships I’ve made.

As I leave this footprint, I urge you to step into my shoes, carry on this journey and see for yourself how rewarding being a student leader can be.

But I have to shorten it to reduce its clutter-ness:

Through my journey as a student leader, I’ve honed many skills but I realized the real perks are the “Thank you” from freshmen & graduates alike, acknowledgement that I’d helped make school a fun and better place to study in.

I encourage you to step up and see for yourself how rewarding being a student leader can be.

HotStart Orientation was a success! I'm thankful for ALL the help I've got from all my friends.
