    At first, I wasn’t sure what to write about how to incorporate Drucker’s teachings in the reading to a post. Part of the reason is most of the examples Drucker gave were that of the military, which is where most of my professional experience is. Because of that it was difficult for me to find ways to expand upon or update; even though the military does use new technology, we still learn things written in Von Steuben’s blue book from Valley Forge that taught the young colonial infantry how to participate in war. But then it hit me; many of Drucker’s incites on management I was already planning on putting in motion; for the County Commission, I just didn't have the same vernacular as the reading to express it.…

    This excerpt from Ralph Nader’s The Seventeen Traditions: Lessons from an American Childhood depicts the significance of the traditions of history, education and argument, and civics as well as express how these concepts are connected. While Nadar experienced these things as a child and his narrative refers to events when he is younger, these virtues are vital to the engage citizens to actively participate in government and impact their communities.

    The most recent Presidential election has consumed the national consciousness. With each passing debate, speech, headline, and commercial, we have been flooded with negative messages that are highlighting all that is wrong with our current and perspective political leaders. We seem to have leaders who are devoid of the character necessary to handle the great challenges that face our nation and our world. It would be easy to sit in a state of despair about the future of our country. I, however, find solitude in knowing that we are raising a new generation of young adults in our schools, such as Nathan Lefeld, who can strive of excellence academically, persevere through adversity, find joy in service to others, and work extremely hard to earn…

    Every American has a divergent perspective on America. With this, there are numerous amounts of definitions for America and what it means to be an American. Some definitions can exclude others from reaching their full potential in America and some definitions can benefit everyone to reach their full potentials. However, America should be defined to have the ability to reach one’s full potential with their owned civil rights to benefit American society. One example of one’s view of excluding others from reaching their full potentials is in Ann Coulter’s speech, “We Only Owe Black People Not Gays, Women or Immigrants Civil Rights,” Coulter believes that America should prioritize giving Civil Rights to the black people due to their controversial history in America.…

    “We’ve known for too long now that progressives like Mr. Schekly hold individuals in deep disdain, and believe that only government has the answers to our ails. Just like Governor Birch, I trust in the individual, and am far more comfortable placing my faith in the family, rather than government. It was not government that made Virginia great; it was the spirit of pioneering Virginians; the rugged individualism of one and all - that is the bedrock of Virginia’s strength. Government has simply gotten in the way. I trust that parents, families, and communities of faith will do right be their children.…

    I recently attended a Liberty University Convocation that really spoke to me while attending College For a Weekend. While I sat in the Vines’ Center seats, I listened to Donald Miller talk about the four kinds of people in a story: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide. I personally feel that my trials through life were given to me so I could fulfill the role of a guide in my life and others. My perspective is not commonly found in society today and I have a strong desire in my heart to help. I believe that Liberty University can help me grow and develop leadership skills to become what God has intended me to be to glorify him while helping others in their own individual lives.…

    Americans and their Beliefs Starting at a young age, the United States’ schooling system forces knowledge onto students about how Americans’ are to be symbolized as the people who stand up for what they believe in. Students, ranging from all grade levels, are taught in history classes the prime examples that include Americans declaring their independence from England, slavery being abolished, giving blacks their “Born given rights,” and how women fought for equality.

    I grew up with John F. Kennedy. Well, not exactly—Kennedy was assassinated a few years before my parents were even born. So, a more accurate statement is that I grew up with my grandfather’s vivid memories of Kennedy and his political career: specific lines from one of Kennedy’s speeches, or even a photo of my grandfather as a teenager in the front row of a Kennedy campaign rally. Politics was an integral part of my childhood—involuntarily—and it is now a crucial part of my identity. I always receive the same retort after telling adults I love politics: “so what are your views?”…

    In Student Affairs we can challenge students to think creatively, speak boldly, and lead fiercely in their college careers. Students attend college to gain knowledge and learn at a higher level of thinking, to me that means we must challenge them to adapt and learn more about themselves, the world they live in, and how they would like to fit into the world around them. This concept is greatly encouraged by the Social Change Model of Leadership Development, a framework that encourages students to learn about integrity, authenticity, inclusion, meaning making and collaboration (Komives, 2011). As Student Affairs professionals, we can provide students with leadership experience and challenge their developmental growth through leadership, teaching students that leadership is not only about holding a position but rather the behaviors of working towards shared goals and ideals (Komives,…

    By incorporating this passionate plea for help, Hanks is acknowledging a belief in the vast potential of his audience. This demonstration of faith in his audience's abilities to accomplish positive change along with an exclusion of his own personal achievements, contributes to an authentic feel in Hanks' 2005 Vassar College Commencement address that is not present in Washington's 2011 Penn Commencement address. While both speeches contain powerful messages and offer life lessons that, if applied, could result in positive change, Hanks' speech is more effective than Washington's as a result of the…

    I was fortunate enough to attend the 2016 H. W. Sumners Leadership Conference where I would have the opportunity to meet a unique pool of influential individuals. Most of my leadership experiences had come from group projects with students who I were familiar with, and the conference gave me the chance to become a team with strangers from across the United States and Mexico. I was not aware of how much I was actually going to get out of the conference. Through the elective workshops, I learned much more about my leadership style and who I could become as a leader. Through the speakers, I learned about the power of creating a vision and pursuing with unyielding faith.…
