The first session of LTI after the spring break can best be described as a “session of inspiration.”
One featured event of this session was the presentations on inspirational leaders by each of the students. Each student gave a short presentation on leaders that either inspired them, or displayed the characteristics of an effective leader. The people presented on ranged from political figures like Barack Obama, to historic figures like Malcolm X, to family members and famous public figures. Overall the theme of the presentations was to show that effective leaders are those who stand up for what they believe in, take action for their beliefs, and inspire other people to be just as passionate for those beliefs as well. After the presentations were finished suggestions were made for improvements.
In addition to the presentations, this session included a discussion on service by a service panel. The service panel included representatives from Alternative Spring Break (an organization that uses its spring break to do community service around the country), Camp Kesem (an organization that works with the children of cancer patients), and Mobility Lab (an organization that builds wheel chairs from bicycle parts and donates them to needy people in Africa). After the three representatives finished talking about their various organizations, they later answered questions and gave advice to the students for their final projects.
After the service panel’s discussion on service, the meeting ended with a group discussion on student projects, and a variety of games.
