Phired Up, Lucky, Engaged, and Less Awkward.

NGLA 2015 came to a close today and although I'm sad it's already over, I'm excited to bring what I learned back to campus. I'm so lucky to have had the change to listen to the words of so many brilliant speakers. It's amazing how the words of one person can change and improve the ideas of so many. I started my day out with talking to strangers who became my friends. Together we learned how to have meaningful conversations and we learned much more about each other than if we used the standard: what's your major, where are you from,.... Instead we asked questions that displayed generosity and understanding. Then I learned how to be less awkward, which I didn't think was possible (shout out to my deepher fam; #awkwardfam). There I learned a lot more useful tips on how to be someone who is a good listener (shout out to the kid who walked in late with a juice box). Not totally sure if I'm less awkward though...maybe a little. I then learned how to create my own luck, takeaway message: luck needs preparation, you can't climb Mt. Everest by accident. In the last presentation I learned how to get members more involved and engaged in chapter and events. Connect, care, and change. One of the highlights of the day was meeting my DPhiE sisters from other schools and learning about how their chapters run. I had the chance to sit down with someone who holds the same position as me. We exchanged ideas and talked about how the presentations we attended will impact our chapters. I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity to attend NGLA and I can't wait to go back to campus and inspire others to help us make change happen.
