Our first Summit class of the spring semester really got things started off in a unique way. In learning about diversity, I think each one of us learned something new about each other, even the people that we live with. I think the activities that we did really brought to light how diverse even just our class did. I think it helped make me a better leader because it reminded me to never assume that people always share the same opinions that I do. It's our experiences in life that make us who we are and it's very important to respect that as we grow in our relationships with others. I also think that it will help our Summit group be able to connect with the kids at Boys and Girls Town more as long as we stay patient and let the kids develop and be who they are.
The link to the Boys and Girls Town is http://www.bgtm.org/index.htm and their mission statement is:
"To reshape vulnerable lives through a community of partners, teachers and leaders, giving children and families the confidence to create bright futures."
If you want to get involved with this great organization and meet some of these great kids we really encourage you to visit: http://www.bgtm.org/donate/waystogive.htm
These kids really can benefit from anything you are willing to give and we all believe it will make a positive difference in their lives.
