Prepare over break

2 min read

Sophomores and

juniors, this editorial is for you.

With graduation fast approaching, now is the time for you to step into leadership positions.

This is not an editorial to suggest that you run for club president or team captain – though if this is an ambition of yours, go for it.

This is to remind you that with our seniors leaving to start their life’s journeys, you will now be transitioning into upperclassmen.

Think about your first semester on campus.

Everything was new and foreign to you.

As your first time away from home and tackling college courses, it must have felt like you were a fish out of water.

At this time, do you remember looking to juniors or seniors who seemed to have it all

together and wishing that one day, you too would have a grasp on college life?

Next semester, those juniors and seniors on campus that freshmen will be looking to will be you.

That is a serious

responsibility, which leaves you with a choice: to act in a way that sets a good example, or in a way that will lead underclassmen astray.

Will you choose to serve as a light to incoming freshmen, helping and guiding them and leading by example?

The hope is that you will work hard, act ethically and take time to help those who may be struggling to adjust to college life as you take your place as a campus leader. You never know the impact you’ll have.
