#11 Haunted house

well for me what i did wasnt to do with the overall ideas of the haunted house i just helped set it up but im not going to lie i could have done alot more then what i did. Barriers that i faced were things like lazyness but it didnt all come down to that because i was reall just kinda frustrated because there was one person that just did what he thought was good and didnt really take other ideas into consideration , so to me i didnt really help because i felt if he wasnt going to listen and he was going to do it his way then he can set it up him self, his way. i used my interpersonal skills in my group and the whole class just cause i am very easy going and i can talk to everyone and confront everyone if i want so if it looked like someone need help i would ask if i could help and i was like a little runner if someone need something i would go where ever to get it . well the diversity i noticed is that everyone has a different way of seeing things so when i heard and idea i wouldnt just shut it down cause to me it sounded stupid , instead i would think about it and get someone elses opinion. 3 leadership skills i used were not getting mad at others and if i was i would not show it instead i would talk to the person calmly, i wasnt putting people down but saying ideas were stupid i jusr kept and open mind, and if people need help i would gladely do it for them. i managed my self good at times and bad at times , i would get of task very easily and alot of the time i would end up talking, but once someone needed me i would get right back on task. the areas i was weak in was trying to stay foucused and trying to keep from talking. during all of this i did not work the hardest i could other than when we were actually running the haunted house cause i got really lazy during set ups and get off task. i need a fair amount of help refocusing. i could have improved by being more on task . i feel i did decent cause i did well while we ran the house and i did ok during the set ups. i would give myself a 12 out of 20 for an overall mark

#12 We're midway to the end

so far through this course i have actually grown alot more then i expected . i have grown in so many ways cause i have learned how to be a leader , before this class i was scared to do stuff that was for this class cause i felt like people i hangout with would think it was weird or why is he doing that but i dont even think about what other people are going to think when im doing stuff. i have also been less of that obnoxious loud person who picks on people and more of the kid telling people to lay off and stop doing that . i like that i have learned how to facilitate because i have alot of family problem so that personally helped me deal with things which is reall good cause before i could not handle them at all and would just lose control. i feel like i need to develop as a leader when it comes to initiative because i never just get up and do somethng cause i want to its usually cause i have been asked to or cause i have to do it

#5 everything is amazing and nobody is happy

I think that this is very funny cause of how true it is you never think of how good things are but instead always think about how bad things are . I fit in to this for sure when he is talkinga bout flying cause i always complain about how long we had to wait or complain about a delay , i also fit in when it comes to the cell phone and thinking its not working fast enough but you dont think like its going to spce and back and your getting mad it load that second

Post # 4 selflessness , humility and leadership

what is means to me to DO SOMETHING FOR THE SCHOOL is that you do something that will help others, make others enjoy thwm selfs, make others feel better/safer not to do doe something that would only benifit you or your friends.
to be honest i would say i do elevate myself higher then others like grade nines and the people who hang out in the smoke pit, that was the way i was brought up not to think higher of myself but to stay away and think badly of smoking and skipping class.
so far i am proud of the way i have served the school because i am getting better learning how to do stuff for others seeing that the smiles on others faces are worth it so i think i am getting better at this whole leadership thing
i would have to say that others have but not from being treated badly just because i have the rep of the "popular kids" so i am always thinking what will people think of me if i do this or that but now i am starting to not care what people think and just do it cause i want to

Post # 3 the hand maple leaf thing..... thing

i thought our group did very good we all participated and it turned out looking nice . there were no real leaders and there were no followers everyone pitched there ideas and we discused which to use and even to use a couple of the ideas. the reason i thought we did this was to get to no people and get people working together feeling like they are all part of one group.

Post # 2 leadership song

the song that i pick for leadership was invincible by hedley . this song really stuck out to me was becasuse its all about people breaking through what they couldnt do and being "invincible" this song just inspired me because of the video showing some situations and it always come back to you can do it and youll make it.

Post # 1 welcome to leadership

In the first week of leadership i was so excited for multiple reasons , i loved the fact that i had so many friends in the class and i knew you were the type of teacher i would get along with, i liked the fact that in this class we were going to learn how to act on what we have always talked about and learn how to make other people enjoy there time. I feel like this will be a great semester in this class
