Sacrifice

There are many things that we sacrifice as leaders.  One example of a time when I had to sacrifice something was last Sunday.  For my church calling, I am serving as the Relief Society secretary.  This calling calls for great sacrifice.  Last Sunday we had a meeting to set up visiting teaching which lasted three hours.  That day I had wanted to take a nap, make Sunday dinner, and just relax.  But, as a leader I had to sacrifice my time for the well being of the other girls.
I began to get frustrated with the length of the meeting but after humbling myself I realized that this sacrifice would benefit the sisters in my ward greatly.  At this meeting the spirit was so strong as we received revelations of which sisters should teach who. Through this sacrifice I was able to grow a deeper love for the sisters in the relief society and I began to know them on a more personal level.

Challenging Unrighteousness

Integrity is one of the main bases of leadership.  It is vital that leaders stand up for what they believe to be right and wrong.  Leaders are able to grow and develop as they challenge unrighteousness.  The world is becoming more acceptable of unrighteousness and it is up to the leaders of today to withstand it.  By standing up for what you believe to be right, you are able to stand up for it again in the future.
Additionally, by not holding back against unrighteousness you are able to share your opinion with others.  Those around you will see that they can also decide to stay on the path of righteousness.  By giving up those unrighteous acts and things around  us, we are able to grow as leaders.
I can use this question to improve as a leader by sticking to my values and honoring my standards.  If I am willing to stand up against unrighteousness I will be able to become a more consistent leader and will not have to question my values.  I will be able to stand firm in what I believe in and will not be tempted by others to lower my standards.  This is important as a leader, if a leader falls, their followers will fall even quicker.

Motive

Serving others and helping people are the main reasons why I started serving in BYUSA.  I got involved in BYUSA the first semester of my freshman year.  When first coming to BYU I felt that I wasn't helping anyone but myself.  I was only focused on my classes, my social life, and my life.  I had the need to help those around me.  I wanted to  get involved somehow in the university so I found BYUSA.
When serving others I am truly happy and I love seeing those around me happy as well.  Our whole purpose here on earth is to become more like Christ.  Christ was the perfect example of service.  He served with love behind every action he made.
Seeing other people's passions in the Clubs Area is such an awesome experience. I love getting to help club presidents make their dreams a reality.  Each club president is passionate about their niche and as an Executive Director I get to help them with all of their needs.  I love all of those that I serve, it is through this motive of love that I find the time to accomplish everything that I need to each day.
