Difficult Conversation

Last semester my program director for Care Week wasn't fulfilling her duties so I had to have the difficult conversation with her.  At first I had to approach her and acknowledge that I wanted to talk with her.  Next, I talked with her about all of the positive things she had accomplished.  I also discussed how she is a great friend and that I appreciate everything she had done.  Next, I brought up the things that I expected from her position and how they had not been met.  I had to ask her if she was willing to step up and meet her responsibilities for next semester or if she wanted to step down from program director.

She acknowledged that she hadn't been meeting her responsibilities and said that she wanted to continue serving as program director for the next semester. I noticed a huge difference in her work ethic and her dedication in the winter semester.  I am so glad that I was able to talk with her so she could recognize what needed to be changed.

Loving Those I Lead

In order to show the love for those that I lead, I have tried my best to simply get to know them.  I feel that the more you get to know someone, the more you love that person.  At meetings I got an update on everyone's lives and made sure we didn't just discuss BYUSA.  Additionally, I had stewardships with my PD's so we could discuss our lives outside of BYUSA.  By having these conversations, I was able to get to know all of the girls I worked with and was able to gain

The clubs area motto this year was "Love in This Club" and we tired to apply that to everything we do.  Whether it was working with committee members, program directors, or club presidents there was a sense of love and charity.
