Student Life

A club I attended was Alpha Phi Omega. I went to their general interest meeting, and the leadership and service meeting as well. At the general interest meeting, I got to meet some of the members of the club. Everyone seemed really outgoing, friendly, and helpful. We were presented with the values of the club. which is leadership, friendship, and service. The first meeting gave me a general gist of the club. At the second meeting, we watched a Ted talk video on YouTube about lollipop moments. The video itself was inspiring because it was about how everyone is a leader at some point their life because they impacted someone for the better whether it was an action or something they said. However, most people do not consider themselves a leader because they do not know they have such an impact on others because no one tells others that they changed their life. But if everyone told someone who impacted their life, then people would know. And these are the lollipop moments that should define leadership- not the kind of leadership we define as where we place leadership on a high pedestal that only a select few can achieve. I found this to be inspiring because it is a different way of living life. The world would be a better place if everyone was told how, whether it was something they did or said, that made someone else’s life better. At the second part of the second meeting, we made paracords bracelet to show support for the troops. We watched a video on how to make it. It was really confusing at first, but they I got the hang of it afterwards. Overall, based on these meetings, I found the atmosphere to be friendly, inspiring, and a tight knitted group.
