WHAT I AM READY TO DO...

Read below for quotes from the LG Class of 2008. Each class member response includes things they are ready to do!

 

Consult local leaders on the local waste water treatment plant and if "they" are bringing forth any "green" initiatives.
I understand Spanish to a greater extent than I speak it.  I have contacted our local "universidad" (Bainbridge College) about a class in español.  This can only help me as our community has a growing hispanic population.
I could easily move to Dalton.....

Be more aware of who is around me.  Realize, even more, the immigrant population and their impact on society.  More importantly, realize that they are doing their best to survive in our world while doing jobs that we all need to be done.  Lend a helping hand.
Remain active in local community.  Realize that as a leader, we have the responsibility of adding value to our local areas by taking an active role in leading change.
Perhaps get more involved in local Education, serving youth somehow.

I will talk with our local leaders about what I heard/saw in the area of utilities.

I’m going to buy a “Corn hole” game so I can pass the legacy to my kids!

Think about my business and how we can become more environmentally conscious.

PROACTIVELY embrace immigration and view it as an opportunity for all involved;
Think beyond the issues of today and begin to implement solutions to challenges generations ahead will face.  (energy, water, immigration, education, MORAL issues, economic);
As always, servant leadership is true leadership.  Be ready physically and mentally for you never know when you will get the call.
