About Me

I just graduated from URI with a BA in History and a double minor in Spanish and Leadership Studies. I have returned to URI to study Writing & Rhetoric. Upon completion of the Writing degree I will go to law school to study International Law. My desire to write this blog comes from the constant media attention on political figures and their antics. I also wanted to write this blog to highlight important issues for my peers and fellow young adults just in case they do not find joy in watching their local news.

My Most Valuable Learning...

- Interacting with other people (Learning how to approach different people/ situations)


-Problem Solving


-Knowing when to be a boss and when to be a leader



  1. The boss drives people; the leader coaches them.
  2. The boss depends upon authority; the leader on good will.
  3. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.
  4. The boss says ‘I’; the leader says ‘we.’
  5. The boss says ‘Get here on time’; the leader gets there ahead of time.
  6. The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown.
  7. The boss knows how it is done; the leader shows how.
  8. The boss makes work a drudgery; the leader makes work a game.
  9. The boss says ‘Go’; the leader says ‘Let’s go.’”
  10. The boss justifies or lays blame - the leader takes responsibility.

Group Development by Tuckman

Stage 1: Forming- The desire to be accepted by others and avoid conflict

Stage 2: Storming- When important issues are being discussed some people’s patience may break
Stage 3: Norming- Creating rules, tasks, and responsibilities of the group
Stage 4: Performing- Independent activity and flexibility
Stage 5: Adjourning- Completion and disengagement both from the tasks and group members, recognize/ enjoy achievements or recognize a sense of loss

Servant Leadership Poem

The paradoxes of being a "Servant-Leader" poem
Strong enough to be weak

Successful enough to fail

Busy enough to make time

Wise enough to say "I don't know"

Serious enough to laugh

Rich enough to be poor

Right enough to say "I'm wrong"

Compassionate enough to discipline

Mature enough to be childlike

Important enough to be last

Planned enough to be spontaneous

Controlled enough to be flexible

Free enough to endure captivity

Knowledgeable enough to ask questions

Loving enough to be angry

Great enough to be anonymous

Responsible enough to play

Assured enough to be rejected

Victdorious enough to lose

Industrious enough to relax

Leading enough to serve

Poem by Brewer --- as cited by Hansel
