I think of my leadership experience over the past 4 years as being a film maker and creating my own film. There were some rough cuts, unexpected turns and re-writing along the way. The leadership minor has given me the tools to finish. Let me take you through my 4 year production.
Being the Screenwriter : scriptwriting, is the art and craft of
writing scripts for mass media such as feature films, television productions or video games. Storytelling abilities and imagination.
• Past 4 years I have been writing my “script.” Putting the pieces together in my major/ minor sheet
• Coming up with the idea of the story/ “person” I want to be• I’ve grown as a leader by figuring out how I want to“ lead
others and myself”• Making sure all the characters connect – the connections I
made along the way• Who I want in my story & how I want it to end
• To help me get to the next step DIRECTING
Being the Directing: controls a film's artistic and dramatic
aspects, and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision.

You might notice this background, how it is a sketch pad much like a script. Well I think of life as a sketch pad.
You can “sketch” what you want and you can try to create this imagine and try to make it perfect
What I have learned as a leadership minor is that my “sketch” isn’t perfect. That whatever may come my way that I did not already sketch I can handle as a leader and can help to leader others.
Final Cut - Premiere
0 Yes this is the final cut0 Premiere = the first showing / the start of… so this is
the start of the new journey the final cut of one production but the premiere of a new production
0 Leadership studies have given me to tools to lead my own production to get my final outcome.
THANK YOU:
To the Leadership Department: For showing me my potential and always believing in my ability as a leader and dreamer. You have given me the confidence, strength and skill to handle whatever life might throw my way.
As Robert Vincent always told me “put it out there to the universe what you want and let everything fall into place”
Life is good, and I am ready.
