So far,
my experiences of being a Capstone Scholar have been pretty fun. I really enjoy
it and the friends I have made here in Capstone are some of the best. Now that I
am a month into school, I’d like to start getting more involved around campus
and in the Capstone program. I haven’t been able to attend as many social
events or conversations as I would like, but I now feel settled in enough to
start figuring out how to work around this issue.
I have always been a little scared
of being a leader. It scares me how much responsibility is placed on you and
how much other people depend on you. I find myself more comfortable following
someone else especially if it is regarding something I am not familiar with.
However, I have had past experiences with leadership. After dancing for ten
years, I was very comfortable with myself in that area of my life. As I grew
older and progressed as a dancer, my teachers would gradually give me more
leading positions, whether it was being one of the main dancers always in the
front lines or being the team captain and handling everything regarding the
team at competitions.
Now that I am in college, and very
out of my comfort zone of dance, I am going to have to find a way to get
comfortable here like I did in dance. This is my own personal challenge that I will
always have to overcome. If I can overcome that issue, then I would have no
problem taking up leadership positions. With the service learning at Hand
coming up, I am a little nervous, because if I have very little confidence in
myself, then what would my mentee think of me? I want them to view me as a
confident and collected individual that they can count on. So now, I need to
step up not only for me but for others as well. If I want to see this kind of
change in others, then I need to make a change too.
