Earlier today I was asked to lead my youth leadership committee through our virtual meeting and if you ask me it was a little bit of a nerve-wracking moment for me. I legitimately wanted to do my best as well as make a good impression on the new members and my favorite colleagues in the whole entire world. It is definitely hard when I have never done anything like this before and with being used to listening when I'm usually keeping my mouth shut was a little bit emotionally draining than I anticipated. The more times we have meetings virtually I will be able to transition into this leadership role a little bit better and I am so grateful to do it among the best set of friends ever!!!
LONG STORY SHORT--- I ended up having a slight anxious moment due to the fact-- throughout these past ten years my heart has always been a part of the youth area in the IL community. It has touched my heart so much with all of the many friendships and bonds that I've gotten to make, which if you ask me will never leave me any time soon. It is definitely going to be very emotional for me to leave behind an important part of my life that I know will continue throughout this heart wrenching change. I am really gonna feel saddened to leave behind a part of my life that has given me so many opportunities to grow into a better person and learning how to navigate our crazy world.
I didn't necessarily know how to approach this new role of being a chair person, if it had not been for the person who believed in me that I could do hard things. I absolutely felt peace in my heart as I logged into this meeting with not having any idea if I was even the individual qualified for it. I am grateful for all of the unconditional love, patience of my colleagues who I genuinely have so much complete and utter trust in knowing this group of people will take the youth leadership committee in the direction it needs to head towards.
