One thing that has happened in school that has taught me the most valuable lesson is Kempsville High School Leadership Workshop. Some of the reasons why Leadership Workshop has taught me a valuable lesson is because it helped me be able to manage my time better, learn how to set reasonable goals, and most of all learn that just because people dress different doesn’t mean that they are weird!

Leadership Workshop has helped me be able to manage my time better. I have no0ticed within the last couple days that I have been home from Leadership Workshop that I have managed my time better by planning things out. For example, I can get up later in the mornings, if I figure out my outfit for the next day, and shower at night. Another way I have noticed that managing my time better has helped me is so that I can make plans more accordingly.

Kempsville High School Leadership Workshop has also helped me be able to set reasonable goals. I have made a list of reasonable goals that I would like to reach by the end of summer! One of those goals would be to get a full by August 4, 2011! A full is one of the most complicated things in cheerleading to accomplish. The reason I think this is a reasonable goal, is because I would like to be the last pass by my senior year! Another part of setting reasonable goals is having at least 3 ways to solve the goal. I have also improved in setting good ways to set these goals!

The most important reason that leadership workshop has taught me a valuable lesson is that just because someone has a different way of dressing doesn’t mean that they don’t have a fun \ outgoing personality. For example in Kempsville we have what we call “clicks” two examples that everyone uses is the “courtyard kids” and the “preps”. Just because someone has a “dark” wardrobe, doesn’t mean that they don’t have a “preppy” personality. So now, I actually talk to “courtyard kids “, without judging them first.

Kempsville High School Leadership Workshop was a lot of fun, and I hope that other students that went also learned a lot from this experience. It has helped me a lot by teaching me how to manage my time better, learning that judging people by what they wear just gives people the wrong impression of that person, and also learning how to set better reasonable goals. I wish I would have known about leadership workshop my freshman and sophomore year!
