As I sit here on this Sunday, many thoughts roam my mind. Not only is this semester a few weeks away from coming to a close, my time here at San Diego State is near its final end as well. When reflecting upon the courses I've completed thus far at this university, a few in particular come to mind as far as courses that I can really see myself applying the information learned to my future career. All of my "leadership" courses through the HTM program have been nothing but a success and without the help of Lori and Mark teaching them I don't think I would feel this way. Words cannot begin to describe how much I appreciate our teachers in this program. It is evident from their work at the university and beyond, how much they genuinely care for their students and for their success. I've learned more than I had ever imagined about myself as an individual from my leadership courses through HTM. To me, this is the most valuable and precious tool I can have as I enter into the real world. I know now just what I am capable of and where I need to go to challenge myself as a leader. I understand through my leadership classes that I have the capacity to be a leader and inspire others to be the best they can be; and with that I can only hope to grow. Entering the "real world" will not be an easy transition, I'm sure, as I am so accustomed to simply attending school and working part time on the weekends; but I know that if I have confidence in myself and in my leadership capabilities, I will accomplish great things. I have so much more drive and passion now than I ever have had before, and I know I owe that all to the HTM program and these ever helpful classes. I will continue to be my genuine self as I advance into my career, ensuring that I treat everyone with respect while making sure to put their needs before my own. There's nothing more precious than someone who is willing to care for you as a person before they care for you as their employee... and that is my ultimate goal as a leader. If I can connect with those people who I'm leading in an emotional way where we can build trust and be there for one another, I will be satisfied.
