A Learning Experience

         
          This first quarter has been an amazing experience that I will never forget! One memorable moment from this quarter was when the freshman leadership was first told about float and all of the work we needed to do in such a small amount of time. Our eyes widened and I think I heard Cassia, our president, wince. With the help of ASB, we got our bearings and began to work. We poured all of our free time into the float and became very, very stressed. This aroused conflicts but in the end, we all supported each other, which, in turn, bonded us even more.
          We did end up coming out with a win! All of our hard work paid off when we road into the track and saw our freshmen shout, cheer, and chant for our class! The spirit embraced us and all of our stress seemed to wash away. Our win wasn't a trophy for float or a spirit week win, it was the memories, friendships, and pride that float gave us.
          As a freshman entering leadership, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know how to make a float, fundraise, or organize rallies. Luckily everyone in leadership was so accepting and helpful! They showed us how to accomplish the things we needed to do in a somewhat timely fashion and also helped us with moral support. With the help of leadership, friends, and family, we reached all of our goals for first quarter. Since this quarter was so successful, I can't wait to see what we are going to achieve within the next couple of months!
