Today, the student leaders of each of the Global Issues Service Summit committees were all asked to present their groups' goals in terms of scheduling, planning and simply getting things done. We also demonstrated our student GISS cheer.
The cheer itself is a great way of empowering and motivating people to get involved in our projects, and I believe that leading up to the conference in february, it will continue to motivate and inspire on a larger scale.
This meeting, or presentation, permitted us to recruit new members for our committees, as well as giving us the opportunity to have our first planning meeting this year. We recruited one student, Shea, as well as 4 (and possibly 5) teachers and parents.
This kind of presentation is great for public speaking practice, something that is required from me, as an IB student, daily. These many opportunities to speak in front of strangers, acquaintances or friends are good practice for my academic life and my CAS leadership roles.
