Third Artifact

Mount Legacy Week is perhaps the most important component of the first year of being a member of the Mount Leadership Society. As Mount Legacy Week comes to a close, it ends with an event called Legacy Night, where each team creates a presentation of the service projects they created and performed to help the local community. I was a member of Team Environment, so the projects we did included a litter clean-up, staining benches for a local park, and removing honeysuckles from another park. As Legacy Night was getting closer, we had to make a video of ourselves talking about the projects, how they impacted the community, and how much fun we had throughout the process.

For my next artifact, I chose to use this video. It was a representation of all the hard work and dedication each member put in to make these projects successful. One significant thing about it that I really enjoyed was the humorous “Full House” sketch that we did to introduce each member of the team. Similar to the TV show, members were separated into groups of two or three and acted out mundane activities then would look at the camera in cheesy fashion. The reason behind why I chose the video was that when I watched it for the first time, I felt a personal sense of belonging to not only my team but also Mount in general.

Coming from a high school with only nineteen other students in my graduating class, I didn’t think I would fit in at Ohio State considering how large the university is. However, I can now say that I have found my belonging here. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be a part of Mount and be with so many people who are new friends of mine. The video showed me that I’m surrounded by people who have the same ambitions and desires as me to grow as individuals and become leaders of the future. It has been a pleasure working with these guys, and I know this is only the beginning.
