Freshman year of college I came in as an exercise science major. I took biology, chemistry, and math all my first semester. Talk about bad decisions right? It wasn’t until the end of my sophomore year I decided to switch into the leadership major, not really knowing what to expect. If I could go back and knock some sense into my freshman head I would have chosen this major so much sooner. As a leadership major I have grown to have more confidence, creativity, and intuition. Through the capstone experience I’ve been able to embody these traits into my work. I wasn’t sure how capstone was going to go at first but I help myself to a high standard of commitment and pushing myself to see how far I could go. In my pre evaluation I talked about seeing what I was truly capable of, and capstone did it for me. Although there were definitely negative aspects to it, I’ve more than I could ever known. When we lacked commitment and motivation I was able to express my frustrations to the class in a conductive way. I learned how to channel my inner stress into working harder but by also trying to still include others in the process. I’ve built relationships throughout this process and bettered my communication skills as being the liaison from my class to the high school students. Capstone taught me how to take instruction from my peers. Most importantly capstone taught me how to truly be myself in front of others. During the opening ceremonies I was terrified of doing a dance not only in front of the middle school students but more importantly in front of my classmates. No one likes to be judge or laughed at in any situation. The first time I dance I could feel my face getting red. Than I would watch the high school students just have so much fun with it and in a sense be free. Their attitude inspired me to be myself. No person knows you better than yourself and your capabilities. To a certain extend I knew what I was capable but capstone allowed me to utilize what I knew about myself and put them into a real life experience.
