Our last day at NGLA was a great conclusion to the fun weekend we've had. To start, I woke up probably 30 minutes before we needed to be downstairs with our stuff packed. Thankfully, I packed the night before. We grabbed breakfast, got in our vans, and headed back home. John had control of the AUX and so the backseat revolted because he refused to put on some Chance and Drake. The backseat put all of our devices together and synced up our songs so we would have an amplified volume of the song we wanted to listen to. Anyways, as I type this blog I am sitting in the Chemistry Lounge of the DMF Science Building reminiscing about all of the fun we had.
This is a list of inspiring/impactful words that I have composed during NGLA:
1) Be the change YOU wish to see in the World.
2) Surround yourself with people you want to be like; people that are on your Dream Team.
3) "There is a superhero in all of us, you just need the courage to put on your cape."
4) Each one of us has the power to change someone's life.
5) "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
6) Be happy where you are, with what you have.
7) Focus on the good, put your all into it.
8) "The cave you fear to enter, holds the treasure you seek."
9) Doing nothing is unacceptable; especially during times of injustice.
10) Stop complaining, just do it. Work hard to get to your goals.
11) Love yourself
12) Be yourself
All in all, NGLA was an amazing experience. I've learned a lot about my organization, the greek community and the eyes of others, and the opportunities that await around the corner. I will forever be thankful for this experience and I cannot wait to make impactful change in my community
