As Spring arrives in Pittsburgh (theoretically if not temperately), it's at least a sunny day inside Baldwin High School with our latest version of Highlander Pride: Leadership edition. Today we honored eight of the best leaders in activities ranging from Newspaper, to NHS, to Special Olympics, to Football and Hockey, to After-School tutoring. Mr. Peebles talked about the value of leadership as being not only a boss, but someone who leads by example. Ms. Deemer gave an impassioned speech about how she's grown into a leader thanks to both her family life and professional experience. From the entire presentation, it was clear that being a leader often resembles being a servant and placing others before yourself. Leadership is allowing others to succeed through you, and not always being the center of attention.
Speaking of leadership, today was an excellent day for many of my juniors in class. Today we spent the entire class engaged in a discussion on some of society's unwritten rules. While this group has never been shy about talking, I was impressed at the diversity of opinions and their ability to carry on a meaningful conversation for a full 45 minutes. It's quite a show of leadership on their part over the year.
As for me, I continue to attempt to lead the seniors through their final project of the year. Only 53 days until they exit the district and go on to become our next leaders.
