2. Student will demonstrate personal, HDF 190 I am good at managing time because I have an assignment tracker to keep track of what I have to do
organizational, and academic examples of and when its due. I also schedule out when I’m going to be doing homework and when I’m going to be
self-discipline relaxing.
3. Student will demonstrate the ability to HDF 190 I use multiple methods to manage my emotions. I struggle a lot with anxiety and need to set aside time
manage emotions to relax and recharge in order to be my best. I like reading or spending time outside to relax. I also
because of anxiety tend to overthink things and I use a couple of different methods to manage this. I
like taking a moment too look at the facts of situations, this helps me from overcomplicating situations
and overthinking. I also am helped a lot by practicing breathing and using sensory things like essential
oils to calm me down when I feel stressed and anxious. One of the most beneficial things I do for my
mental health is go to therapy. It helps with learning methods to manage anxiety and by helping me talk
through situations.
4. Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 190 I think of the most important parts of stress management is having balance. As a student with a very
stress management methods heavy academic schedule my main tip for getting work done is giving yourself an outlet. Last semester
I was not very involved on campus and during the week didn’t do much besides school work and I was
not very happy and didn’t even do that well with work because I had no motivation to do it well.
However, this semester I joined more clubs and one of them is a singing group. This gives me a
chance to relax and not worry about work. This also makes it so when I do have time to do work, I
know I need to put in my best effort to get it done because I have other commitments later. This
balance between school, clubs and time to myself helps me manage stress and do better in school.
5. Student will demonstrate the ability to HDF 190 I manage my stress by spending time outside when its nice. I love going to the beach or on bike rides
manage stress to clear my mind. I also like relaxing by hanging out with friends because it takes me mind off school
and other stressors.
6. Student will express a personal code of HDF 190 My base for leadership is compassion for myself, others and the world. I always try to understand and
leadership / membership ethics aid my surroundings. When picking out my girl scout gold award project I picked out a project that
addressed an issue that heavily impacted people close to me. I wanted to improve upon older adults
quality of life and was inspired by my relationship with my grandparents.
7. Student will demonstrate practice of the HDF 190 - Cross country and track I always go through life trying to understand and help others. In high school I did cross country and
personal code of ethics captain track and my senior year I was one of the captains. In this role I had to guide and help new girls on the
team through not only starting a new sport but often the start of high school. I was able to do this
because I tried to understand how they may feel by thinking of how I felt as a freshman getting used to
all these knew things. A lot of the times its hard to be an older girl because they expect you to have all
the answers and it can be overwhelming to constantly be asked questions however, I used compassion
to understand how they are just nervous.

9. Student will demonstrate practice of the HDF 190 After figuring out my personal values I noticed a lot more in how they are apparent in my everyday life.
personal values statement I use prudence in my classes. As an engineering major I take mostly science and math classes and
have to think through things critically and be thorough with my work. I also use prudence in a school
work sense by planning out my time to balance work and downtime. I show kindness by being
considerate to others and trying to help them when needed. For instance, I often help one of my friends
with their homework. I demonstrate fairness the most by how I interact with my roommates. We plan
out chores so it is equal for everyone. I use perspective when looking at social situations by trying to
see everyone’s side of things. Lastly I demonstrate honesty also mostly in social situations by being
open with people.
10. Student will demonstrate the ability to HDF 190 - Girl Scout Gold Award One of my most impactful leadership experiences was doing my Girl Scout Gold Award. I had to come
lead a project from start to finish (follow- up with my project, propose it, execute it and guide the people who helped me through the project. I
through) also had to work with the people the project was for to make sure it would actually be beneficial to them
and keep the project on track to address my main issue.
11. Student will describe goals and objective HDF 190 I want to become more confident in my strengths as a leader. The Gallup strengths that fall under
statements regarding personal issues, executer tend to be strengths of mine that I shy away from and don’t embrace. These have to with
career issues, and community issues keeping a group on track and I think this requires confidence. I often can come up with a good plan by
using my strengths but I lack the confidence to express it. These issues correlate with my career
because I need to have confidence in myself with school.

by Greenleaf has to do a lot with always listening and learning through one’s leaderships experiences. It is based on
ten characteristics listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight,
stewardship, commitment to the growth of people and building community.

42. Student will describe personal application HDF 190 - Captain of cross- An experience of mine that I think best represents relational leadership is being a
of the above theory (Komives et al) country team captain of the cross-country team my senior year. I had to guide a lot of the younger
girls on the team and help them get to know others. I think this connects to
empowerment and inclusion because it can be scary to join a new team and new
sport with people and things you know very little about. Getting to include them in
the team bond and see them become more confident in their skills at practice was so
impactful for me. Being a team captain also required me to be process oriented and
purposeful because I had to plan run practice occasionally. I also think relying on
ethics and your values is something everyone should use when leading a group.

“Social Change Model of Leadership collaborative, socially responsible and based on values. The model is centered
Development” by Astin et al
around the idea of helping to make a permanent difference and addressing more
than just surface level problems. In order to lead by this model, one must focus
heavily on the process of leadership and relay on their values to guide them. From
my perspective a good way to do this is ask oneself their true motivation for doing
something. Is it actually to help and improve a situation?
48. Student will describe personal application HDF 190 - Girl Scouts In HDF 190 we discussed different actions that are considered community service
of the above theory (Astin et al) and if they are actually social change. I think a lot of them depended on a person’s
intent and their knowledge of the community they are helping. Through girl scouts I
did a lot of community service and my troop leader always made sure we
understood who we helping and why. She would also talk about other ways we
could help their community’s and after we helped, we would discuss what we
learned from the experience.
