I was looking forward to this class since the moment Ken told us. I am truly thankful to Ken who made this happen and to Hibiya sensei who made the time for us to speak to us. Her class was an opportunity to get to know her better as well as ICU. I thought the president would have a speech memorized and the speech would be just like the things people usually say like GO FOR IT or those cliches but she was different. Her speech was very lively with humor. I especially like the parts where she talked about her meetings with other presidents. I really liked the leadership qualities she chose; 4. to be healthy and 8. to laugh and celebrate. I stated previously in my blogs that I thought those two were important as well.
Her speech made me want to get more involved in ICU and also take an opportunity to do something. So that day there was a dorm meeting where we had to choose our next dorm floor leader. There are 3 floors in our dorm and there is a floor leader on each floor. I decided to run and I was elected a the floor leader! It is only for a year but I hope I can contribute so that my floormates could live comfortably.

you're a dorm floor leader? holymoly congrats.
ReplyDeletei love how you're so funny one second then the next, you're really majime:) that's something a leader needs i think. to know when to have a good time and when to be serious. and most importantly, you're such a likable person and i think that's a veryvery special trait. i mean, likability is a tricky thing. you can't really work hard to be likable...but you are, so use that to all its might.
you're gonna be an awesome floor leader! again, congratsss
Shiho
Congratulations! You were inspired, you took a risk, and you succeeded. May this be the start of your life as a leader.
ReplyDeleteHey Izumi!
ReplyDeleteHibiya-sensei was different from what you call "Usual President." I really enjoyed her lecture :) It's funny how you both chose 4 and 8...maybe you guys have something in common haha
I'm so proud of you!
I feel like you always have the ability to bring the Stream 1 together...you know with the sweatpants and halloween costume.
Amazing!
