Moanalua High School Student Association: 6/1: THE 104 SKILLS OF LEADERSHIP!

LEADERSHIP: IT'S NOT ABOUT REWARDS; IT'S DOING WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF NO ONE ELSE ACKNOWLEDGES YOU!

2022 MOANALUA HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (above) The Moanalua High School Executive Council is made up of fifteen volunteers. VOLUNTEERS! While officers are elected, they choose to run knowing that if they win, there is no physical reward, no letter grade, no incentive other than the pure satisfaction of doing a good job and representing the student body. At times, we achieve great success while at other times, we achieve somewhat less, but it is always a learning process. While we can take away much satisfaction from doing a good job, we can also learn from mistakes and try to better ourselves the next time. And so, at the end of our terms, while we do not earn a credit, a letter grade or even a certificate of achievement proving our accomplishments, we can take away the self-satisfaction in knowing that we did our best for the students, school and community, and that positive experience is something we can really use as contributing adult members of society.

6/1: THE 104 SKILLS OF LEADERSHIP!

OK, well, we didn't really cover 104 skills, but today's SA Leadership Conference concentrated on a few of them and offered the rest as resources. Our Phineas and Ferb theme is a play on their 104 days of summer. The conference featured workshops, team building activities, energizers, and yes, leadership skills. We thank the eight Moanalua officer alums for coming back to facilitate as well as our special guest speaker, Ms. Haley Pendergast, the 2011-12 SA President for her motivational talk. Also, we thank our guests from other schools and their advisors: Kaimuki (H. Honbo) and Roosevelt (D. Dudoit) high schools, and Moanalua (R. Villa), Washington (C. Wong), Dole (G. Domingo), and Aliamanu (B. Young) middle schools. Special thanks also to MoHS class advisors J. Yanuaria and N. Ishida. We hope that everyone who attended can take away at least a little something that they can use in their leadership positions next school year!
