Reflections

I was fortunate enough to be in Student Government , the Student Union and many committees . The atmosphere created by the guidance and encouraging spirit of the Sisters of Mercy showed that being a leader was attainable even on a small scale . Upon graduation , I began my career as a public school teacher . My career path veered for a few years as I worked in business and used all those acquired people skills leading and managing a team . Returning to teaching to complete my career placed me again in leadership roles in the school building , on district committees and guiding student teachers .

Being a student leader at GMercyU is unlike anything I expected . I believe the ability to practice skills , make connections and contribute to the student experience made me a better leader , better person , and brought more meaning to my understanding of who I am . It ’ s the opportunities that start the conversation for a lot of students as to where they want to go . It ’ s the passion and it ’ s the people that you discover that make a difference .
