Tayah and Keelen's student leader experience Print

LLP Day on the Way

Hey, this is Tayah and Keelen, we were recently student leaders at SRC.

What is a student leader you may ask? Well, let us explain, a student leader is kind of like a teacher for a day, we control head counts and have to make sure that everyone gets to class on time. To be a good student leader you need to have the confidence to take control of the community. Why are we student leaders? The reason we are student leaders is because it gives us a chance to gain public speaking, for us to come out of our shells and to give us a chance to know what to do in all different situations.

Our community goal was to get under 17 seconds in our dinner head count; the reason for this goal was to make sure to had our dinner on time. The reason it didn’t go so well was because people were talking and they just wanted food, this will give us a great chance to improve for next time.

Tayah: My goal was to extend my leadership by speaking loud and practicing different types of leadership; I did this by coming to each head count with a different attitude for example, relaxed, democratic or autocratic. To be democratic I had to make sure everyone was listening and being fair.

Keelen: My student leader goal was to be more responsible for myself and others; I did this by getting everyone to head count early, keeping the wings clean and trying to improve my leadership style by not taking over everything.
