more resolutions.
I was talking to my friend Jennifer yesterday, reflecting on my camp experience, she reflected on her high school career and her camp experience from the previous year. She said something that really inspired me.
"I don't do 'big problems,' you know? I do little things. This past year, I made an effort to know everyone in StuCo. I would wave at the freshmen and make myself recognizable and known so that we, as a student body, would feel more connected and more like a 'club.'"*
Sometimes that's all anyone needs. Someone to reach out and make themselves available, and I know how cool I felt with her as one of my friends: exec board senior student council member. I mean, not everyone needs to tackle cancer or support the Invisible Children, and while those causes are amazing and admirable, what Jennifer was doing was just as beneficial, just on a smaller scale. So my eighth resolution mirrors hers:
8) Make an effort to get to know everyone in student council. Reach out to the freshman, offer my support and guidance to anyone who wants/needs it.
It's still hard for me to not be at camp, to not constantly talk about it; I can't even listen to my DFTBA Records Compilation album because the only thing I've been able to stand is the mix CD Kyle (one of my junior counselors) made for everyone.
*no, my memory isn't that good. I paraphrased pretty sufficiently. But I made her sound pretty awesome, amirite? <3
