Glyph Drawing

We were given this leadership assignment over a year ago and had the opportunity to complete it once again just a few days ago.  After we completed our second drawing, we were able to compare it to our first.  I was absolutely amazed at the difference.  According to the drawings, my understandings and beliefs of being a leader have changed significantly.  I believe that this drawing represents how much this program has allowed me to grow in an area that I never imagined.  This program has given me many leadership opportunities and has pushed me out of my comfort zone, which showed me what I was capable of when I never knew it.  When we completed this drawing for the first time, I believed that people were born leaders and if you did not see yourself as a leader then you more than likely would never become one.  A year later, and my thoughts were the complete opposite because I became the "leader" that I never thought I would be.  I have always been very shy and afraid to speak up or take the lead.  One example is that I had the opportunity to serve as the Professional Development chair on our SOTA board allowing me to make many connections with professionals in the community.  Public speaking is most definitely not a strength, but introducing different guests to our class and professors gave me the chance to open up and face my fear.  I enjoyed being able to re-do this assignment to see how much my perspective of leadership has changed.  Take a look at my drawings below to see for yourself! :)
