The Take-Away

I took away so much, it probably was more than my fair share.  So many new people, ideas, and just general happiness. Wednesday afternoons brightened my whole week and put me in the best of moods. Thank you Casey, Lori, and all you excellent folks for providing that.

Other than happiness I learned about myself. What makes me tick, the types of leadership I respond to, what models I relate to, and how important leading is to the success of an idea or group.  Observing other leading styles that existed in my peers was incredible. Some approached problems directly, while other thought and then had beautifully complex ideas. And it was freaking fun. I just cannot get over the amount of wit, creativity and general lack of fear that existed in our little leadership cocoon. Also, this final project is great. It is real and applicable and just perfect for me. I love creating and planning.

Well I like to think I learn everyday. But I would like to teach others what I've learned, even if it comes about indirectly.  Applying concepts and starting a new club are a few of my goals. I would love to become involved in the planning of student activities and more time in Locatelli.

But my greatest wish is stay in contact with the great ELP Broncos. You all are so incredible and I'm stoked to watch us through the next few years as we become big names with big ideas.

Really hope we all stay in touch. I'm totally up to help plan a Relay for Life team, ropes course event, or whatever. It's been an incredible quarter--and I think, an incredibly necessary quarter. Thank you for being a part of it, Hannah!

This quarter I also love Wednesday, because I now that this class would brighten my day. I enjoy being in the ELP with you. I wish this class wouldn't end. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with everyone. And for being a great jump rope partner!

Hannah, I've always admired how incredibly optimistic you always are. It was incredible getting to know you. Your humor is so great! I think your second paragraph as a whole sums up exactly what I was thinking. Learning about ourselves was by far the best thing about our class. I hope you're serious about you greatest wish, because I can assure you every time I see you I'm going to say hi!

Oh Hannah, I completely agree with your take away. It has been such a pleasure to get to know the ELPers for this quarter, especially you, fellow Oregonian. I too will miss this class on Wednesdays, and I have learned so much from this class, and I have enjoyed getting to know you so much! You are a hilarious, genuine person, Hannah!

Loved having you in class Hannah! I agree that we all got a lot more out of ELP than we probably expected. I hope we can all keep in touch through the next four years! Good luck with next quarter!
