Reading through A Leader's Legacy, I have learned about some of the various qualities that are important for leaders to carry. It is also interesting to learn about some of the reasons leaders lead. Being considered significant is something that seems like an intangible goal; what may seem significant to some may fly under the radar of others. As a leader myself on this campus I posed the question to myself; do I feel like what I am doing here makes a difference to others and I must say that the answer is yes.
Being the associate member educator for Phi Kappa Theta allows me to be responsible for ushering in new generations to our wonderful brotherhood. They are charged to me to shape and mold into the picture of the gentlemen that we consider ourselves. Seeing the way my new brothers have changed over this past year has made me feel an unimaginable amount of joy and pride. Seeing my work actively help to develop out leaders of tomorrow is the greatest thing I have accomplished thus far in my collegiate career.
As an RA in a first year resident residence hall, I feel like my work is continuing in much the same direction. I am helping to guide the new members of this college into their futures and it is up to me to ensure that they meet their goals. I love my job more than I expected to. Everything that I do now makes me feel significant whether I am helping one person or a group of people, making a difference is what matters to me. It's no longer about me and what I do, it's about having what I do make what they do great.
