Show us your VISION

Hi Leaders,

I hope you are having a great week, thus far.

We had a thought-provoking class last Thursday and it all started with Logan's stimulating presentation on the erudite leader and Logan's favorite president, John Quincy Adams.

Logan took us through his life step by step.  He was clearly someone that valued learning. He was also very influenced by his father, and was even pushed to follow in his footsteps.

Thank you, Logan!  You put forth a great example by presenting first.

Next week, Eric, YOU are presenting!  Remember, don't make this harder than it is.  It should be easy, interesting, and eye-opening.

Next, Teacher Genne shared her amazing VISION BOARD with us.  I hope this is her year for finding TRUE LOVE.

She gave us some great advice when it comes to making a vision board---THINK BIG!!  Set your sights high when you are planning your activities and completing your own vision boards.  WOW US!!

In regards to last week's homework, I was saddened to hear that not everyone completed these super fun and easy assignments.  But congrats to those who did report their successes!  I hope you enjoyed moving up the leadership ladder. 

For those who forgot, PLEASE complete those assignments THIS WEEK!!  These experiences, even though they may seem small, all contribute to the leader you are and will become.  Greatness lies ahead, so grasp on!

Below are this week's (and last week's) homework assignments.
