This past October, the leadership staff of our district worked together to host a leadership summit for secondary students. This summit provided an overview of 8 Values that the high school has embraced and will continue to focus on this year. One of those values is responsibility. This was the value I was asked to speak on. While I do not mind public speaking, it is not something I always seek to do. However, I was asked after watching the film Miss Representation. One of the main points being, you cannot be what you cannot see/imagine. Timing was serendipitous.
But what could I say about Responsibility. Well, as it turns out, a lot. I ended up speaking for 10+ minutes with the primary message being: We have responsibility to take care of ourselves and positively influence others. At this point I am not even sure how I talked as long as I did but my hope is that this opportunity to share about influence has influenced others.
