I believe that I inherited almost all of my values from my family. Values that I believe I came to value on my own are those of leadership. I am a first generation college student, therefore when coming to college I had no idea what to expect. In addition to my studies, I found passion in leadership activities. I am a member of Kappa Delta Sorority, where I served on the Executive Board for two years. I also served on the University Senate. I enjoy leadership activities because they help my personal growth, while building my independence. My family helped me build integrity in everything that I do, as well as the importance of loyalty.
Today, I went grocery shopping – which represents my independence. I enjoy being able to do things on my own, while providing for myself. My independence is something that is very important to me. After running errands, I spent the rest of the day watching football with family and working on homework. I enjoy being able to spend time with family, because it is something that in a busy life can be hard to find time to do. In working on and completing my homework, I had a great sense of personal accomplishment. I love being able to go to bed knowing that I accomplished a great deal throughout the day.
