Personal Vision Statement

I am not exactly sure how to being this blog.  All the rest, I could easily sit down and start writing away for a couple of paragraphs, but with this one, it's a lot deeper than the other ones.  I could easily write right about my chapter and how we function, how I function as a leader within the Fraternity, but when it comes down to focusing solely on myself outside of the Fraternity, it's much more difficult.  And maybe that's a problem in itself: my life is so engrossed within the Fraternity right now that I cannot even separate the two.

Just this past quarter, I have seen myself grow so much.  Becoming president of Lambda Chi Alpha was a huge undertaking for me.  I had only been initiated into the chapter almost exactly one year earlier, and deep down inside, I didn't feel as though I could do it.  It was after talking with my parents, my Big, and the former President that I truly felt like I could accomplish and fulfill the duties of the position.  Their inspiration and their motivation ultimately allowed me to take over with the confidence that I still have.

Coming from Omaha, I didn't have any friends here at OSU for those first few weeks.  I had a solid core group of friends back home, but even then, it was much more out of convenience than out of true friendship.  I came to Columbus and I ended up becoming best friends with the guys in Lambda Chi.  My brothers truly did become my family, and I care for them to the same caliber of my own blood family.



I feel like since leaving home, I have a better understanding as to who I am.  I may not know what I want, but I know what I don't want.  Being able to say 'no thanks' is probably one of the best things I've learned in these past two years.

I am fun.  I am compassionate.  I am loving.  I am lovable.  I am organized.  I am assertive.  I am confident.  I am happy.  I am able.  In the years that follow, I know that I can do anything I set, not my mind, but my heart to.  If I love and care as much as I do for Lambda Chi and my brothers, I know that I can persist through any pain and struggle in order to achieve my goal.  So what is my vision statement?


In everything you do in life, find the passion, find the love for what you do.  Always keep faith, and hope for the best in all things, because ultimately, you deserve it.  Keep true to yourself, to the ones you love, and when you do that: every decision will come without regret.  Stay focused and clear, keep your head high, and your eyes fixed on the horizon beyond.
