A Day in the Life of a Diamond Leader- Brenda Kelly
- What has been your motivation for getting involved in the Diamond Leader program? How long have you been a Diamond Leader? In an effort to use my free time efficiently, I decided to become involved with a student organization last year. I selected the Diamond Leader Program because it offered a variety of ways to enhance leadership qualities.
- How has the experience impacted you? My experience as a Diamond Leader has helped me develop a greater sense of direction with regards to my personal and educational goals.
- What has been your fondest memory?One of my fondest memory as a Diamond Leader involves a community service project. We made no-sew blankets and cards that were distributed to a local hospital. Arts and crafts are one of my favorite hobbies and it is always rewarding when your time and talents are appreciated by others.
- What is the best part of being a Diamond Leader? The best part about being a Diamond Leader is the feeling of belonging.
- Do you have any tips/advice for any future Diamond Leaders? My advice to future Diamond Leaders is to be prepared to challenge yourself.
