This week for my leadership role I decided to try out the Y Service Squad on Wednesday night. I L-O-V-E-D it! We went around all of the dorms at Helaman halls learning peoples names, getting to know them, and offering to take out people's trash. My group hit up the boys hall at Budge. We met a lot of nice people and it was cool to get to know them. Stephanie, our leader, told us to concentrate specifically on remembering people's names and said that knowing the individual can make a huge difference. She also said it is important to give real and sincere compliaments to people because they can tell the difference. She used me as an example of giving a sincere compliament when she told me that my eyes were some of the prettiest blue eyes she'd ever seen-that was so nice of her! She is a cutie and I really could tell that she meant it and that is awesomeness.
I couldn't help but think this club is perfect for me! I love serving others and helping people to experience the same happiness that I have felt and been the recipient of. It is also funny that this club fits perfectly with my personality type (ESFJ) in that it focus's on the welfare of others and this is how my personality type recieves the greatest personal satisfaction(which is so true!) It is Awesome to feel like you've made a difference, no matter how small or simple, in someone's life.
And as was testified to all of us who attended Y Serve...'What goes around, comes around!' This was brought to light in a very funny coincidence that occurred: One of the groups went on and on in detail about this extremely messy room on the first floor of one of the boys halls. As they continued describing it, one of the boys in our Y serve group asked more about it's description and it turns out it was his room!!! :D hahaha! There really is such a thing as kharma! haha! What goes around, does often come around! Overall, it was such a fun experience and a great way to serve and to get involved as a Christlike leader on campus.

What a great way to use your strengths as a leader and incorporate servant leadership into your life. I encourage you to continue leading through service and sincerity. It really does make a difference...one person at a time.
