Leadership at School

Hello everyone! My name is Jimmy and I am a Junior at UC right now. My junior year has perhaps been the most fun year at UC. The reason I say this is because as you move up in high school, you get the privilege of being in many different leadership positions. I'm about to talk about some of the clubs and other programs I am involved in, but don't worry, I will explain them. I am a peer coordinator, big brother, SMAC (student movement against cancer) executive board member, and another I will mention is National Honor Society.

Being a part of the Peer Coordinator program is probably the most eye-opening experience I have been a part of at UC. The first part of this program is to make sure the Big Brothers and Big Sisters do their job. Big Brothers & Big Sisters are responsible for calling their incoming freshmen over the summer, asking them questions, offering advice, and just being there for them. The next job BB/BS have to do is be there on the big day: Freshmen Orientation Day. Why is this day so important? Well, imagine walking into homeroom, getting a class schedule, and being told to have fun finding your classes for the rest of the day. Fortunately, this is not the case. The freshmen get to go down to the cafeteria, which is filled with all the BB/BS holding up signs and screaming peoples' names. After finding their BB or BS, everybody gets to sit down and get a nice breakfast and talk about where their first class is, what teachers are like, and many other things! I think I will end here for now, and tell everyone more about the Peer Coordinator experience next time I write!
