Week 7

As of this publication, there are 10 more school days in the third quarter....how are things working out for you?  Do you feel a little rushed, like the river pictured above, or are you in a good spot? Explain

I feel pretty good with where I am at right now. I have a meeting set up with the head of PYL, and he is exited, and willing, to hear our idea and help us out. I have also done six annotated bibliography's, and finished my book. I am still a little nervous about how I am going to make my paper as long as it needs to be, and what exactly my thesis is going to be, but I feel like I will figure that out soon. I am also in a good place with my project plan, because we have made a good plan and have a good idea of what we will good. 

What does Drew Dudley say about people and leadership in this video?

Drew says that we are all leaders, we just don't realize it because we put ourselves on such a high pedestal. We compare ourselves to people who do amazing things, and because we don't do those things, we do not think we are leaders. He also says that we can all be leaders by being our self's and helping others when we can. 

I am pretty sure that we have all had one of these lollipop moments, share one here please.

This past year, I had to decide what I wanted to major in college, and basically what I wanted to pursue with my life. I had to think about the things that make me happy, and what I knew I would never get bored with. I decided that the only thing that will always make me happy are sports, especially football. I decided to pick a school with very good football culture, and major in sports management. I knew if I did this I would always be happy with what I am doing, because I love football. 

Why do you think I wanted you to watch this talk?

I think you wanted us to watch this so we could realize that we are all leaders, and we all make a difference in peoples lives, even if we don't realize it. People experience lollipop moments every day, and most of the time we don't even realize that we are making them occur. This video was a great reminder that we are all leaders, and we can all make a difference in peoples lives by just being ourselves. The story that the man told about college could have also cleared our mind about the college adventure we have up ahead.

  1. Bluke, It seems like you are in a good spot right now in the year and I think your ideas for college are also very well suited to you. You will definitely succeed in that field and it seems like your on a good path already.

  2. Your example is interesting, but not really a lollipop moment....think about a time when someone influenced you, or you influenced someone else....that was what I was looking for.

  3. I didn't really see this as a Lollipop moment even though I did enjoy the story.

  4. Jacob, good job with your blog this week. I too am unsure how I am going to manage writing a lengthy paper. Even though your story was not a lollipop moment, I liked your story.
