First week back!

     It feels good to be back, but at the same time I'm not quite ready. Orientation will be here in just more than a week and we already have our new ones added to the group. With 39 days left of school, we're already closing in on all of the future events, like Orientation, Banquet, Graduation and more things in 4th quarter. That's also the closer I am from leaving Leadership, which is ashame because my Leadership adventure has been a rollercoaster from being stuck at the bottom and not being able to go up to the top, but now I think I have gotten on my feet more and I just need to keep improving and end this year on a high note. Other than that, this week/ 4 days was just full of Orientation non-stop and teaching our new ones about their jobs in Leadership. Matthew and Jerilyn have learned in a very short period of time and have proven that they can handle leadership very well. I believe that they can succeed the next school year. Matthew's strengths: Fast learner, quickly gets things done, smart, and good attitude so far. Cons: Talkative, but hasn't shown to be a problem, and just needs to concentrate a bit more on his job (ex. no talking to friends while working). Jerilyn's strengths: Understands directions, positive, focuses on her job, and fits in well with everyone. Cons: Needed a few reminders of what to do, and didn't pick up on things right away.

Though, these two have been good so far and hopefully will keep this up. 

     Highlights of the week: New quarter, new beginning of the end, Orientation soon, new members and they've been doing good for their first week here, got through this week successfully, and we got april fool'd by our home ec. teacher because she said we were gonna do a CFA, but we ended up baking a cake instead and it turned out to be good (it was like a mix of cornbread and pancakes).Lowlights: Orientation is just so close and we still have things we need to improve on, last quarter of this school year, more things coming this quarter. Not to mention that this quarter's AR goal is due in 3 weeks (more than 2 now) but on the bright side it's a lower goal now.

     Lesson of the week: The more focused you are on something or when you set your mind on something, you can definitely do it. There's nothing stopping you and it makes you show commitment to that something, and you can have it done so much faster than if you just put that certain thing to the side. That's what makes focusing on something very important.
