Considering your role as a leader, Please describe who you view as your “customers” and how you practice the idea of meeting the needs of those customers?
My customers are my EDs, my roommates, my class peers, ect. I try and help them really with whatever they need and i guess i have the view point of 'the customer is always right' haha. I don't try to impose my views on them but i do share my passion for the Honor Code when the topic comes up. I usually bring it up.

Please describe a time when you have been involved in a significant change. Identify what those who were leading the organization did to help make the change successful or unsuccessful.

It's tough to change coordinators. I just had my last stewardship with Tamara today and she took me out to eat. It was nice just to talk and I had kind of forgotten that it was our last time together. It's really helpful to have a supportive team who is willing to help when called upon to be leaders. Positive attitude and assertiveness are VERY helpful.

Describe why you believe that Networking with others is a vital part of leading change.
I can not do it alone. I need people around me that can lift in areas that I'm weak in. Change doesn't happen with one person. It takes a team of people dedicated to a worthy cause. Sometimes the change has a negative result but that doesn't mean the leaders are negative. Sometimes the change doesn't happen and it's difficult but in the end life goes on, you know? Since time will pass I might as well make the most of it before it's too late!
