Working with the College Democrats has been a constant learning experience. Without that organization, I would have never been exposed to student leadership, so it served as a spring board to do other things that have benefited even more students.

Seeing everything that we had worked for and, in many cases, fought for be put into motion and be successful - that was my favorite part. Some days have been better then others. At times, everything seemed to be going along fine, and then others, I felt like I reached my breaking point. With all of that being said, I enjoyed nearly every minute of it and wish there was a way to do it all again.

They were there not because of a comedy show or concert. They came because of politics, and that is what our organization tries to do ... raise the level of debate. I think we were very successful that day.

I'm blessed more then anything. I was blessed with the type of personality that forces me to be organized. I know what I need to do during a day and how much time I have to do it, so I'll come up with a schedule based off of that.

I see a need to be involved. I don't want to be among those who only complain about different situations; I want to be among those who attempt to come up with solutions. That's what keeps me involved.

I would do it all over again. If I would change anything, I would have become more involved sooner. Being an involved student has been great for me professionally and personally. Without being involved, I would not be the person I am today. I've had the opportunity to meet a number of great people. Some have become very close friends of mine. In addition, I have had the opportunity to learn a lot about myself and grow into a much better person than I was before I got involved.
