Journal #3

I want to help execute a program for Torres with Simon for my Spring Project, which is under the leadership category. I want to be able to take a leadership role in my classes and my clubs/activities. I think that creating a program for my peers would help me gain some leadership qualities. I also think this has a lot to do with community engagement, as I want to do something that others can enjoy. I want to start researching ideas and brainstorming over winter break. My goal is to have an idea to propose to Simon within a week after we get back from break. The first step is brainstorming then my second step is to plan the logistics and time of the event. These steps will be done by mid-February, so that I have plenty of time to set a date. Overall, I want to create an event for my floor mates to enjoy and learn some leadership skills from Simon along the way.
