I truly hope to help establish meaningful reform in our healthcare system. I believe healthcare is a human right, and have seen so much loss for preventable, treatable illnesses. The United States is the only high-income nation without universal health coverage, and the more we talk about it, the better chance we have at changing it!

I am so excited to go spend a week with my family at our condo in St. Pete this upcoming weekend! This is our first year back since Hurricane Milton in 2024. Going to North Redington Beach has been a yearly tradition since I was 10 years old, and I can honestly say it is my favorite place ever.

As a future teacher, I looked back on my school experience and kept coming back to the garden at my school. In kindergarten, they let us go to the school garden, pick vegetables, and help prepare food for the class. That experience has made me appreciate nature more, and has been an amazing memory. I want to recreate that for my kids in the future. I don't have the best green thumb, but I took agriculture classes in high school and love gardening.

My family always does a vacation near the end of summer and it's not any different this year. We'll be in Key West most of next week and I can't wait.

I only have a few weeks left in my hometown, so with the rest of my time here, I'm looking forward to spending it with my loved ones as much as possible!

I want to walk across the country like Forest Gump. It would make me feel like I've done something massive with my life. That or seeing Mount Rushmore. Or earning a million dollars ethically. In short, there are a lot of things I want to do in my life.

I grew up on a small island in the Caribbean and this has caused me to have a great appreciation for nature. Since moving to Florida, I have visited many cities and beaches but I am especially excited to visit the keys for the first time. There are many interesting activities in nature that I am looking forward to experiencing for the first time!

Something that I learned in this course was the ability to be a good leader. With putting your employees first it allows people to respect you as a leader. I also learned about different leadership styles and how i can use them when I become a leader.

I would like to learn more about the history and the beginnings of how different styles were created. I think it's interesting because at the beginning of this course I didn't even know there was such a thing as different styles. So I am very curious about how it was created this way.

I grew up in small town off of the Suwannee River and I have only attended folk festivals in our community. In August a band I follow called Slightly Stoopid is coming to St Augustine, so I am hoping to attend. If anyone has any recommendations on how to prepare for a concert send them my way!

Fishing has truly been one of my greatest passions and pastimes. So, my lifetime goal is to catch a fish in every US State. Currently I have caught a fish in 5 US states, and I am hoping to continue with a trip to Alabama soon. In the future as well, I would love to travel the world fishing when if I am able. I see the US State goal way more achieve for someone like me.

While the topic of leadership seemed to be relatively simple and easy to grasp, it turns out to be a lot more complicated than that. There are so many different interpretations and styles in being a leader, and different environments and needs can lead to various styles. This course has helped me understand what traits and factors to look for in different situations of being a leader.

Every year for the past few years, my family and I have gone up to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for the Lititz craft fair. It has over 550 vendors and is one of the biggest craft shows on the East Coast. It takes place throughout downtown Lititz and has a wide variety of handmade crafts, artwork, and unique items. My family and I enjoy walking around and seeing everything. It has become a fun tradition that we look forward to every year.

One of my future accomplishments is to become a teacher and have a family of my own. Since I was little, I have always dreamed of becoming a mom. I would love to have three children someday. I also hope to become a teacher because I have always enjoyed working with children and want to make a positive impact.

Through this course, I learned that as a leader, I must be prepared to push things forward forcefully at times. It came as a shock to me when I realized that I sometimes need to make decisions without obtaining approval from my team members, but after being told that this is necessary in urgent situations, I came to understand and accept it.

I've learned that, aside from leadership involving a structure of command where a leader barks out orders, it also included elements of teamwork where everyone gives their fair share. I thought this was incredibly important and it should be mentioned that, regardless of status or seniority, that everyone has an equally important role to play and how each person is heavily valued in a leadership structure. - Bobby Nousaath

I would like to learn fishing, as I view it as a fun activity that I would like to pick up. This is due to the sense of achievement and pride at having caught a fish, which is similar to any other sense of achievement in different fields of expertise/entertainment.

I’ve been trying to progress my art for a while and be able to draw things out of my comfort zone. There is a site called artfight where you can indulge in a lot of other artists characters and draw them! You get sorted into teams and the more art you make the more points your team gains! I think it’s brilliant way to keep creativity and also just motivation and I’m super excited to re indulge now that I’m graduated!

There were a lot of opportunities this summer for me to explore! All of which I am grateful for. However, I felt torn between so many things. Sometimes it felt like there wasn't enough time the day. Yes partially because of all the things I wanted to do and my responsibilities but also my time management. For the rest of the summer I don't want to take my time for granted I want to read more, make more, and explore more!-Danielle Gill

This course has challenged my thinking in the area of leadership in the sense that now it is something I can envision myself doing. In the past I would say it was never something I could be because of the way I viewed the role. One person constantly doing the right thing to lead everyone, knows what to say and doesn't need other help. That's what i thought, and it sounded draining. But now I understand. Just like the a village chief is still a member of his village so a leader is a part of his team. they have people they give things to because they know their community, they know what they can trust others with to help reach our shared goal. That's what I want to be. Danielle Gill

I haven't really had a summer off in recent years, and this term I was taking seven classes while working 40 hours so I haven't really had the time to do anything fun, so I'm genuinely excited to get some time to just relax and have nothing to do daily. The first activity I'll do is go see a bunch of movies. I recently watched the Odyssey which was 3 hours and it was a solid 8/10, but the next movie ill see is the newest Spider-Man depicted in the image.

I love all forms of entertainment whether thats music, tv, movies ect. as i truly believe that the media you consume can determine certain parts of your personality and my biggest dream is to one day be in one of those forms of media to not only see myself on the big screen but also for the work I'm a part of to hopefully be good or at least actually enjoyable to watch, so that it inspires others similarly to how I've been watching others.

This course has challenged my assumptions about leadership in all sorts of ways, from the servant leadership style to the need to assert yourself even when nobody really agrees with you. As the leader, you really are responsible for everything: the success and the failure; it comes hand in hand. Ultimately, however, there are many different ways to lead, and it all really depends on the situation and the people you find yourself with. I think that's my biggest takeaway from this class: it's not a one-size-fits-all. - Nguame

Before taking this class, I thought a leader was just the person in charge. As the semester went on, I realized leadership is also about listening, earning people's trust, and knowing that different situations call for different approaches. It made me think differently about the kind of leader I want to be in my career.

One thing I want to accomplish in my lifetime is earning my master's degree and continuing to learn and grow. I also want to fill my passport with stamps by visiting many countries, experiencing different traditions, and learning about cultures that are different from my own.

One thing I am looking forward to the remainder of my summer is resting, this term has been really challenging for me. I was expecting to be in a full term course but instead I was met with a 6 week course, although it was difficult I am glad I pushed forward. For the rest of the summer I plan on sleeping in and swimming almost every other day. And making sure I take care of myself mentally and psychically. I hope I’ll be able to get a better sleep schedule before the fall term starts
