Well, here I am back at the Naz, aka college for my SENIOR year. It's so crazy to think that this is it. This is my last year to leave a lasting mark on this campus. Scary.
So the question I'm wrestling with is what exactly it means to do so. How do I leave a legacy? Or as it was worded in one of our sessions: Who will follow me?
Every answer I come up with relative to my position as a student leader is filled with the best intentions, but will I follow through? As this school year closes and I'm walking down that platform at graduation, the questions I would like to consider are as follows:
Did I consider every single person, even my greatest enemy, better than myself?
Did I make sure that every single person on this campus knew that they were just as important and could make just as much a difference even if they didn't have a leadership position?
Did I maintain an overall positive attitude even when faced with situations that I may not have necessarily agreed with?
Did I represent Jesus in every way possible?
The list goes on. I could be a part of throwing the world's greatest event, but in the end, how does that benefit others aside from a potential night of great fun? I'm not sure why, but the quote from one of my all-time favorite movies The Sandlot comes to mind.
"Heroes get remembered, but legends never die."
It's not so much that I want to be recognized. Simply that I want to know that I've been the best representation of Christ that I can possibly be in the lives of those around me.
"We can do no great things, only small things with great love." -Mother Teresa
