Moanalua High School Student Association: 7/25: LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE...FINALLY!

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.

7/25: LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE...FINALLY!

After much anticipation as to whether large group gatherings would be allowed during the COVID-19 pandemic, we finally managed to get together to tape our annual leadership conference with 8 alumni facilitators as usual, but an audience of 15 participants made up entirely of present SA and class officers only. Normally held the week after commencement, we waited out the pandemic hoping that the government would allow large groups, and we would simply postpone the event. Instead, with the opening of school approaching, we decided the best thing to do instead of waiting would be to tape the conference and send out the final file to all participants who signed up as well as advisors who would normally accompany other groups to view the tapes at their leisure.

It's not the kind of conference we wanted but, under the circumstances, we hope that it will do for now and that we can get back to doing live conferences very soon!
