Vision statement

When first starting to think about my vision statement I thought about all the things that I enjoy doing and being a part of. I love my family more than words I honestly don't know what I would do without them. My cousins are my best friends. College would be nothing without Delta Zeta and the opportunities I have been apart of. Although school sometimes is stressful I truly enjoy learning new things everyday. I also love working out it is such a great stress reliever for me and allows me to eat the food I want to eat. I love watching sports all my life I have grown up going to different sports events with my family from Detroit Tigers baseball games to LPGA golf tournaments to college football and basketball and now Blue Jackets hockey games, Ohio State football, basketball and hockey games, I can say sports are a big part of my life. I would also say leadership is a big part of my life I grew up and literally everyday my dad would tell me "be a leader not a follower" and that has lead me to where I am today, President of Delta Zeta sorority at The Ohio State University. When thinking about my vision statement I also thought of things that I struggle with and need to work on. One being my impatience, I am very impatient and when I want something done it should have been done five minutes ago. Since taking on the presidency I have learned to let this go a little bit because I know not everyone works at the same pace as I do. I also struggle with instant gratification, I like to get things right away. When I order a package online I expect it to be at my doorstep an hour later, naturally this doesn't happen. I also struggle with being sympathetic to others, I am not the friend that you come crying when something has gone wrong, of course I will be there for you but that is not how I am. I have learned I need to be sympathetic because there will be times in my presidency when people come to me and just want to talk and I will be there to listen. I would say my personal vision reads something like this

"I lead a life of giving 100% in everything I do, to the best of my ability. I know there will be hard times but things could always be worse. There will always be people to lean on when you need help, family, friends, exec board, advisors, no matter what other people are going through the same problems as you. Remember in order to play hard you have to work hard. School  can get tough but you will be rewarded in the end. I know how much I enjoy the experiences I have at Ohio State and in Delta Zeta, needless to say the future looks bright. Remember to be mindful of other's emotions and make time for yourself."
