Graduation Day

These are pictures from our last day at LeaderShape.

Balloon activity where we shared our favorite parts about the week.

Kay, Ellen, Kathy, and Cheria- the lady facilitators.

Oh Snap! right after the commencement ceremony. We all look so professional!

A Wish For Leaders

Ok, this poem was given to me by my Hall Director when I was an RA. I read it anytime I am feeling especially pleased with myself.

A Wish For Leaders

I sincerely wish you will have the experience of thinking up a new idea, planning it, organizing it, and following it to completion, and then have it be magnificently successful. I hope you'll go through the same process and have some "bomb out."

I wish you could know how it feels to "run" with all your heart and lose...horribly!

I wish that you could achieve some great good for humankind, but have nobody know about it except you.

I wish you could find something so worthwhile that you deem it worthy of investing your life within it.

I hope you become frustrated and challenged enough to push back the barriers of your own personal limitation.

I hope you make stupid mistakes and get caught red-handed and are big enough to say those magic words: "I was wrong."

I hope you give so much of yourself that some days you wonder if it's worth all the effort.

I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you reason for living and purpose and direction and life.

I wish for you the worst kind of criticism for everything you do, because that makes you fight to achieve beyond what you normally would.

I wish for you the experience of leadership.

The LeaderShape Dance!!

I'll just let these beauties speak for themselves...How I wish we were all together to do the LS Dance- ok not really, but I do miss hanging out with you all!

Creepy Chess

Those statues on the Newark campus were creepy! Here are a few pics of us embracing the creepiness!

Nate vs the statue, while Jimmy plays coach. I think I heard Jimmy telling the statue to "just loosen up!"

That statue was such a chess rockstar that he took on both Ravi and Jimmy! Looks like our guys are winning.

I think this was supposed to be our serious picture. Clearly following directions was not a strength of OH Snap! Although, some of us do look quite scholarly.

O-H-I-O

What more needs to be said? This was after the LS Review on the last night. Go Bucks!Ellen, Lea, and Megan

Visions

Thanks to Beth and Megan who have both posted their visions! Remember to post yours if you haven't yet! Also please post your pictures, stories, quotes, and anything else that you want to share!

OH Snap! and the Dancing Animals

So some thing got into us after the LeaderShape Review and the end result was a whole lotta inappropriateness with the big dancing animals. Proceed with caution...

Ok, this may be the cutest picture of Meredith ever. Things were still wholesome at this point.

Then Jimmy made friends with the elephant.

Courtney took it to the next level with a little smooch on the turtle (not an awkward turtle...yet).

Then, suddenly the giraffe wasn't so innocent...and neither was Megan for that matter!!


And some times I have nightmares about what's happening here! Seriously.

Hey, remember when Ellen figured out how to make the timer on her camera work? And then she hobbled over as fast as she could. Yeah, that was cool.

You'll be happy to know her foot injury is (almost) entirely healed and she is back to doing things outside that can cause bodily harm.

What are we all looking at? Clearly whatever it is it really excites Shreya. And gives Ravi a belly ache. And makes Nate confused.

Awwww! Jimmy, Shreya, Lea, Meredith, Ashley, Megan, Courtney, Nate, Ravi, and Beth

Awkward Turtle!

LeaderShape Review

Impressions, Interpretive Dance, and lots of Zander (how fascinating?!) to go around at the LeaderShape Review! Our "vision" of LS was wonderful (and moderately accurate!!)!
