This week I met with Mr. Phu. He helped me take a step deeper into my independent study. He made me realize there are many things I can do to make my study on leadership unique, and unlike many others. For example:
- Diversity in people I interview. (Outside of DA)
- Answer my interview questions for myself before the end of the semester. Then see how they change when I answer them after.
- One main aspect of this study is for me to become a better leader.
The third point he illustrated is something that is important I get out of this. In my other activities like athletics this study is something that will help me become a better leader and I can apply.
This week I worked on reconstructing my interview questions. Along with this I kept reading my book On Becoming a Leader. One quote I thought was very powerful that I got from what I read this week was, “How can you best express yourself? The first test is knowing what you want, knowing your abilities and capacities, and recognizing the difference between the two.”
Looking ahead to Next week: This weekend im going to polish my interview questions. Then I will practice by interviewing Mrs. Frasher. Next week I’m hoping to interview about 3 people in the 0-25 age range.
