On Oct 2 most of the Leadership Youth team met at the Woodburn High
School library to learn more about what we were getting ourselves
into. But on Oct. 16, Leadership was brought to life.
The
day went smoothly and as planned, with yummy food, great speakers
and positive attitudes, an opportunity to play with toliet paper
(right Dimitry?) and team building exercises that even had the staff
wanting to join. "Next time it won't be all speakers, but we'll
be ready to go on field trips," commented Rhonda Judson.
Not
that I minded the speakers at all. The speakers came from different
busineses and different backgrounds, but with one main purpose.
"The function of Leadership is to produce more leaders, not
more followers," a Ralph Nader quote, one of the speakers used.
I
certainly enjoyed Sharon Gray's activity, and I'm sure everyone
learned something about themselves through her insight. Now I know
how I contribute to a group of different types of Leaders. I am
already looking forward to the next gathering and I am positive
my fellow students are as well. I want to thank the Chamber of Commerce
for everything they have done to create this program and for all
of their future results.
