Leadership Community

As I come to an end of my sophomore year, I realize I am taking a lot of big steps for my junior year. I am taking on quite the schedule with my classes on top of my involvement on campus.

While being involved in Family Weekend 07, CAC(colleges against cancer), Student Ambassadors, International Peer Mentors, and a co-chair for Homecoming 2008, I will also be living in the Leadership suite. We have been calling it a leadership 'community' because technically, it is not a suite. I am not sure of the room setup because there is no common room but I have heard it is similar to Petrik and I am not sure how that works. I will soon find out.

The Leadership Community is going to be located in the new dorms, Siena Hall, on the top floor with the Hall Director. We are the only ones on that floor as far as I know. While it is a freshman dorm, I still hope my leadership experience to be worthwhile. My expectations of this community are to make some close friendships (due to most of my close friends being guys with a few exceptions). Even though things have not turned out to be the way I expected so far, I am hoping my experience turns out to be a positive one.

I have high expectations for my leadership roles to grow and prosper while living in this community and I hope these expectations are met. I am taking quite a risk, as I have heard many negative things about last year's suite, so I have a small bit of hope it will be different next year and I hope my instincts are right.
