I have done a lot of student leadership moments. I have been international as a student leader (Jamaica) out of the state (Baltimore, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Washington) and as a community leader have gone to several places in and out of town and will soon be going to Nevada. The list of things I've done is endless (just about). But here in no particular order of impressiveness are my top ten student leadership moments in college:
10. Starting a club
9. Autism Campus Inclusion in Baltimore
8. Winter Games For Two Years, Youth Summit for Two Years, and Special Olympics internship
7. Being nominated Spirit of Boise State and being the 1st one to win
6. Being a site leader for four? years
5. Partnership Jamaica (the first group)
4. Leadershape (also the first group)
3. Being in several Boise State YouTube promotional videos
2. Being in the Boise Obama video, shaking Obama's hand, and being right behind Obama when he was in town.
1. Being one of the most faithful Service Learning students when I do a class with that and often continuing afterwards
and just for fun the top 10 community leadership highlights in college:
10. Testifying at the capitol for those who couldn't
9. Being a founding member of Self-Advocacy Leadership Network
8. Apologizing to members of the LGBT community
7. Sharing my story with parents of those with autism
6. Advocating for the BUS system in Boise
5. Torch Run for Winter Games in 2009
4. Sharing my story at the CPI conference a few times
3. Helping out at Vacation Bible School often- so many kids having smiling faces
2. Creating a safe place for people to talk about mental health by showing love and care to them
1. Being selected to the Developmental Disability Council, the State Self-Advocacy Leadership Network board, and the Consortium of Idahoans with Disabilities.
Like I said in no particular order of impressiveness I have done plenty of great things and will continue to. I admit it I have a long ways to go on making the world an even better place but by being a leader and showing from the heart, I have continually changed lives. Stay tuned for my next blog: the best friends I have right now that have changed my life.
