I work very hard for the students at Saint Leo. I never thought when I stepped foot on campus that I would do as much as I’ve done. I help 3 great people design and run events that happen on and off campus, I ask questions to see what the students want to see, and things that they would like to do while they are at SLU. My roommate and I also opened our door up to incoming freshman and transfers, to show them a residence hall room, so they had an idea of where they will be living the next year. When they asked questions, about anything, I tried my best to answer them in all honesty, without painting a fake picture in their mind of what college is really like. I love helping those around me, and making sure everyone is enjoying Saint Leo as much as I do. Well, the student government recently had an awards ceremony in honor of those students who lead, and do many things that honor the core values. I was ecstatic when I received an invitation. It was proof that even though I may forget from time to time, I am a leader around campus, and people do look at me as someone they can come to. The night of the awards, I received recognition for my work with the Campus Activities Board, as well as most outstanding freshman female. This was a complete shock to me. I knew I had helped, but what I didn’t know is how much it meant to others. Like I said before, I work very hard, but it is truly never for me. That award was for me, and it means more to me than anything that people notice how hard I work, so thank you SGU and Saint Leo.

When I picked the college I wanted to go to, I always had a picture in my head of what it would be like. I always thought people would know exactly what school I was talking about; we could talk about how great their sports teams are, and maybe I would meet someone who knew of another student at my school. Well when I went to Saint Leo University, people stared at me a minute before asking where it was. Yes, it is a small school, but we have great sports teams, and I know few people that know others who have attended or have at least heard of it before. Well, as a member of student involvement and student government, I had a hand in bringing a big musical act to Saint Leo in celebration of our new student community buildings. Myself and the rest of the students involved needed to keep all of the options under wraps for a few weeks; this was really hard for me because I LOVE music, and I’m kind of a blabber mouth when I get too excited. Anyway, the day finally came for LONESTAR… yes Lonestar - to actually come to our little campus. This was a great experience for all the students at Saint Leo, and it will definitely be hard to top that one in the future. There was a lot going on throughout the campus that day, there were baseball games that were highly important to the standings of the team, there was tennis, and a lot of other activities, but there were over 500 people there. It was a great time for everyone that went, and I can go without saying, it was definitely an unforgettable moment of my freshman experience.
