This Is Just The Beginning

Within this past quarter, there have been many events and new experiences in Leadership that have impacted me. From countless hours spent on folding napkins, to selling food every week, they've been a few things that have kept me going in this class. Along with new experiences, were new lessons that complimented them as well. Solely based upon the first quarter, I've taken more initiative and become more hardworking, with the help of my peers during that time.

Prior to the storm, was a sense of calm, yet time consuming business. Long story short, Club Week was an effective way of getting students more involved with some of the extracurricular activities at DeAnza as they explored the opportunities provided. This week was able to establish a stronger foundation of school culture that was as equally engaging as the welcome rally.
Speaking of a certain event that was especially stressful and draining, was definitely float. The whole shebang of float itself. Despite all of the sore fingers and Advil pills that were taken, it was well worth it in the end. Float is something that I portray as the epitome of DeAnza traditions, courtesy of this class and I'm happy that I was able to contribute. To showcase our floats, the classes were able to drive them around the track and at Sheldon Elementary for the homecoming parade/rally. On that note, the rally and parade were both productive, resulting in a success for the Leadership class.

All in all, this is just the beginning and with what the future beholds, comes a time full of pride, stress, and competition. The first of everything will eventually become times to reflect on and grow from, not only as individuals, but the Leadership class in general. With that being said, I'm excited for all of the new experiences we'll take on and represent as leaders of the school!
