We attended a leadership workshop as part of our learning community last week.The exercises were pretty dull and boring. I could relate to the students better than the leaders in the presentation. This workshop had somehow motivated me to attend more clubs and become more involved in things at school rather than just attending class and leaving. One of the leaders was from New Jersey and she still had the time to go to activities afterschool even though she gets home really late. This was very admirable and I feel like that she has a lot of determination. I’ll look into more clubs as my time in Baruch grows. Clubs are great ways in order to meet new people and become a better leader in the future. These roles in clubs and other after school activities are the things that you will remember after graduation. To be a good leader you have to be able to step up and become a voice for your followers. Going to this workshop helped me understand what some qualities of a leader are. In order for me to be a leader, I need to find something that I’m passionate in and actually am willing to work hard for this. In order to find someplace like this, I would have to research and go to many difficult clubs to see where I think I would fit in the best. I could also join other things other than clubs like Team Baruch, the PAWS program or other different positions throughout campus. If I were to be a part of Team Baruch I could help incoming students adjusting to their school and act as a leader to them. By doing so, I could enhance my skills as a leader and make sure that others can also become leaders after my guidance. Overall, the workshop helped broaden my horizons and think of other ways to become a leader as a student as Baruch College.
