END OF THE YEAR PRESENTATION By Alexander Tucker-Boyd MY TOP TAKE-AWAYS Becoming more brave in trying the obstacle courses on the Spring Leadership Retreat than I was at the Fall Retreat. Laughing so boisterously and hysterically that people are forced to laugh first and ask questions later. Talking more than I have talked in my entire life to people other than my family. Making good first impressions on so many people. CAÑADA COLLEGE CAMPUS EVENTS I chaired Constitution Day What I learned from Chairing: Politics is unavoidable; politics affects everything we do, so we should always be aware of it. I was on the committee for Black History Month, Random Acts of Kindness and Star Wars. What I learned: Creativity, Communication, and Responsibility from helping put together these events. It was challenging and I am glad that I was able to help contribute ideas for the events such as suggesting questions for the Q & A panel, helping to write inspirational messages, and helping set up for the Star Wars event. BIG AND LITTLE Dominic is my big. Last semester Rupinder was my big. I have not met with either of them formally for the Big and Little meeting. CONFERENCES I ATTENDED AND WHAT I LEARNED Conferences: Take-aways: CCCSAA Conference • We are all different and we have to figure out what works for all of us in order to work together effectively. • It is important to listen to everyone when working with a group. • I motivated myself to participate even though some of the activities were so challenging that I did not want to try. • It takes a lot of time, effort and regular training in order to become a Student Leader as well as to maintain and improve Student Leadership skills. Fall 2015 Retreat Spring 2016 Retreat ASGA Conference WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM STUDENT SENATE 1 2 ● How to be recognized by the chair in a meeting before I start talking. ● How to make a motion. ● How to trust others. 3 MY TOP FIVE STRENGTHS 1.
