This past year I have experienced a variety of different things and situations that have taught me to grow into the young woman I am today. The SOC class has brought me to realization that it is time to grow and to take chances. One chance that I took this year was to run for Vice President, although I did not get it I still had the opportunity to take on other leadership roles. For example, I am in charge of the Living Digital Announcements. The Living Digital Announcements is a slideshow that contains a variety of pictures and announcements that are occuring around the school. Recently, this is what Mrs. Newton and I decided I should do, in order to take on some more responsibilities. Not only did I take on this role for the SOC class itself but for my own organization, volleyball, I have set up different community service projects. One main one that was organized by the SOC class, but what we took on was the Angel Tree Project. We provided a little girl and a little boy from the New Haven community with different gifts for Christmas. This really brought our team together because we had the chance to build the start of a legacy. We will continue to do this every year, from different parts of the county so that we can get the name Thomas Nelson Volleyball out.
Since I am graduating this year I will be passing the torch down to Gracie Crepps. Gracie will take on many different and oncoming situations that will be thrown away. She is a very creative individual that could take on many different tasks. I hope that she will step up and take on the Living Digital Announcements, as I did this year. I need to make sure that I show her all of the social media and talk to Coach Morris about giving her permission to access this blog. In order to be in the SOC class, being a leader is something that you will for sure grow into. However, communication is a big part of being a leader to both the team and the SOC class as well. But I do believe that Gracie would be the perfect fit for this position.
During this class I am most proud of my ability to step up. I have taken on many different leadership roles, which has taught me to grow as a person. I have learned to use effective communication, as well as a lot of determination in order to get all of my jobs done. Over all SOC is the best decision I ever made, I would start all over again if I could.
