Senior Leader
Jared Boone
Senior Group Leader
Prior to the beginning of the school year , I did a lot of personal reflection on the meaning of leadership and how I planned to fulfill the responsibilities of the Senior Group Leader . This year , I focused on pushing the community to give its best effort day in and day out . I believe that one of our biggest challenges as a community is acknowledging positive behavior and using that positivity as motivation rather than becoming focused on negative behavior all the time . As I look back upon my experience as SGL , I can truly say that I am humbled and grateful for the amount of support I ’ ve received from the entire community . Words cannot express how much I love this school . We ’ ve grown tremendously as a community and my hope is that the Class of
2014 can pick up where we left off and continue to pass on our traditions and values . “ Whatever hurts my brother hurts me . Whatever helps my brother helps me .”

Freshman Leader
Being the Freshman Leader has been an honor for me . I was able to see these students grow throughout the year and see how far they have developed as a class . It was tough in the beginning , but I pushed myself and my team to have a successful year . The freshmen ended up being on top of the academic standings ; that showed me that these guys will make me proud throughout their years here at Benedict ’ s . It was challenging throughout the year because I had to remember I was not fully in control of the freshman program and that I had to let the counselors do their job . I never wanted to be the best – I just wanted to leave an impact on these young men that will make them remember me and understand what it means to be a Benedict ’ s man . I want to thank Mr . Cassidy for all the help he has provided me and the rest of the leaders . He is a great mentor and understands how to run the program well . He let me make mistakes and allowed me to learn from them . If it wasn ’ t for him , I wouldn ’ t have done a great job . I thank the section leaders and the counselors for helping me because without them too , my job would have been more difficult than what it already was . I hope that the next year ’ s freshman leader has a successful year and will do a better job than me because there is always room for development . Never forget WHATEVER HURTS MY BROTHER HURTS ME , WHATEVER HELPS MY BROTHER HELPS ME !
