People don't lie when they say that ten weeks passes quickly. This quarter has seemed long and short all at once. When I think back to week one of this class, I had no idea what I was getting into. But judging by the first class, I knew it wasn't going to be a normal regular class. The class involvement is what made this class enjoyable. Knowing that what you put in is what you get out made me want to be a better leader.
But what I loved about this class was the fact that it provided me the opportunity to dig deep and let my inner self take over. I feel like it does not happen very often where one can truly say what is on one's mind. There is not a lot of room for digging deep and talking about issues that make people uncomfortable. When we did the activity where we all lined up and took a step if the situation applied to us, I felt so vulnerable. But there was no other room of people that I'd rather be vulnerable with.
Looking forward from here, I am a little fearful because I knew what it took to be a leader on my high school campus, but I don't know what it takes to be a leader here at Santa Clara. I want to dive right in and get involved, but I am a little intimidated because it is so late in the year and I do not know what I will be most passionate about. But seeing everyone in the class being involved in various organizations on campus inspired me a bit. I want to stay busy and get involved and give back. This class gave me the push to do so.
Molly, I really agree with your blog post! I am nervous for what the future will hold as a leader on campus, but I am also excited to use the skills we have learned this quarter. You're so right, these 10 weeks have been a blink! I am so glad we have had class together this quarter, you are just a lovely girl full of laughter and genuine kindness.
