Moanalua High School Student Association: 10/8: SMALLER CLC CAN BE GOOD, TOO!

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.

10/8: SMALLER CLC CAN BE GOOD, TOO!

This year's Complex Leadership Conference (CLC) was decidedly smaller than usual since only two of the five complex schools were in attendance; Moanalua Middle and Salt Lake Elementary. Thus, the usual 120-140 was cut to 23. Without the larger numbers, groups were also cut from 6 to 3, and workshops from 5 to 4, although that was because no one signed up for Public Speaking. But the smaller numbers gave us more of a chance to get to know every group member and more chances to talk one-to-one. All activities were done despite the small numbers. Thank you to all the advisors: Ms. Masuda-Kop, Ms. Contee and Ms. Oumi! Thank you to all the SA Officer Facilitators! Most of all, that you to all the participants for providing an opportunity for the officers to facilitate! It was truly a mutually beneficial conference!
