Today I was student leader for the third time. It proved to be a lot more difficult than the first time and I had much less confidence. My voice projection was horrible but improved throughout the day as my peers gave me some feedback in the morning.

Something that was definitely a big challenge today was getting everyone to headcount on time and starting them with enough time to have announcements and start class on time. This was a challenge as many people were late to headcounts and a lot of them were unprepared too. Courtney and I had a challenge for the community though, for whoever spoke during headcounts got their name put on the board and they sat on a ‘naughty table’ which got picked last for every mealtime. With this challenge no one ended up talking during headcounts which was a relief as neither Courtney, nor I, wanted to put anyone’s name up on the board. Though the day was rough and I kind of let Courtney talk for most of it. I still think at the end of it I had completed my goal of being more confident and having efficient headcounts. It was a great day though and “sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.”
