GASC Gazette
December Edition
PILLAR 1: LEADERSHIP
The annual GASC convention will take place from February 21-23, 2020 at Rock Eagle 4-H Camp in Eatonton, GA.
”It is always our own self that we find at the end of the journey. The sooner we face that self, the better.” – Ella Maillart
While attending convention this year students and advisers will learn the importance of "Exploring Your Inner Leader!" Together, as Swiss adventurer Ella Maillart tells us, we will find out more about our inner quirks and talents by embarking on the adventure that will be GASC State Convention 2020. To truly become a productive leader in the community, one must know how they operate like inner strengths and weaknesses, leadership styles, how they react to conflict, and so much more. Throughout convention we will provide workshops, keynotes, reflection time, networking opportunities, and more to ensure that delegates have the opportunities to not only learn about themselves, but to also find out how knowing about themselves will unlock their potential for growth to become stronger leaders.
On day one we will 'Board the Ship' and ensure all delegates come with passion and motivation to complete any task that comes their way.
Day two we will 'Learn the Ropes,' and gain lots of valuable leadership training, strategies, and other information that will help us navigate our way through the vast sea that is leadership. At the end of this day we will party with the stars that helped us map our way across the ocean in the Galaxy Gala.
Then finally on Day Three, as we say our goodbyes, we will continue to Embark on our Leadership Adventures! So join us on our journey at GASC State Convention 2020 as we "Explore Your Inner Leader!"

HUMANS OF GASC
TENE JONES
School: Meadowcreek High School
Grade: 12th
Favorite Quote: "Get out there, travel the world, see new things, experience new people, experience new food, experience new culture. What happens is that it helps you to grow and be your best self." - Karama Brown
"This might sound cheesy or I may blame it on my indecisiveness but since this was my first year being on Student Council at my school, all the memories I have made this year have been my favorite. Being behind the scenes experiencing creating the magical, beautiful, and kind moments for our community made it all worthwhile. Going to Convention, meeting people, and learning about leadership helped build the person I am today. I cannot wait to make new memories with my new StuCo board and GASC." Tene is in marching band and concert band. During concert band she plays clarinet at UGA's JanFest. She also has a black belt in karate. "Someone I look up to currently is Jameela Jamil. You may know of her if you watch “The Good Place;" one of my favorite characters she plays is Tahani. I never knew much of the Actor until I stumbled upon a video that explained her values and ever since I watch that video it made me view her in a different way. She is a phenomenal person in the way she tries to help the community with body positivity. She tries to better society even though society, like social media platforms such as Instagram and ect , try to show how women are supposed to look."

Favorite Quote: "You can't build yourself up until you break yourself down."- Nicole Nocua
"My favorite StuCo memory has to be attending Nationals as a rising Junior last year. It was amazing to see different forms of leadership from different states around the country" says Jovani. His mentor is his general manager at Chipotle. "She has encouraged me to pursue serving others in the food industry and it works well with leadership. She has been such an inspiration since my orientation day and I am really proud of her accomplishments." Jovani is a certified Chipotle trainer and has a nameless cat. Do not hesitate to ask him about either!
