There are many organizations all around UT but the one that caught my eye the most and the one that I’m gonna be writing about is the German Club. I chose this organization because my heritage is almost complete German and throughout the past couple years I have been interested in learning the German language, learning their history from all the way back to when the country was first realized to all the way to present day and most of all just really getting to know what my heritage is about. The German club is the perfect club because in it they teach all about Germany from its language, culture and history and since history is one of my favorite subjects I really can get involved because I always love to learn new things about Germany’s history. …show more content…
The German club would be a perfect extracurricular activity because most days that I have class I don’t have work and I would like to fill the gap in my day with something that I would be excited to learn about so I’m not completely bored all day without doing anything and the club would be able to fill gap. One thing I am excited about when it comes to the club is learning the language because for sometime now I’ve been trying to learn the language and with not being surrounded by German literature or instructors its very hard for me to learn it and by being in this club I would be surrounded by people who are interested in German things including language so in the long run it would help me learn the language very quickly along with the culture that I have also been learning about excitedly. All in all the German club would be a very exciting thing to do since I would love to learn more about the German culture, I think joining this club would be a very exciting thing for me to do during my days at

    Leadership is imperative to supporting the foundation of succession in our society. It is important that we exercise our God given right to utilize our sphere of influence to the best of our abilities. Although leadership may gain you more recognition throughout society it is not about the affluence one can acquire; leading is solely about guiding others down a path of success so that future generations can more easily learn from our mistakes to pass down to the next generation.

Through this transformation the change is evident in what Rauschenbusch is demonstrating to his readers and audience about Christianity.
