So, today is Saturday and I'm still dressed in my blue ambassador shirt and my black slacks. There was an event today, called Scholars Day. It was actually fun. I took students to information sessions and told them how it is to be a student at Drexel. Some of you readers may have been there, and I say to you congratulations. I'm glad you guys came out. Here's a picture of me and my closest friends in our shirts once we were done with everything.

So, I promised in my last blog that I would tell you about the CEO workshop I attended last week. It was presented by Captain Joshua White. He basically explained how the military and discipline could make you a great leader. He expresed who he thought was a good leader. He also gave us a game plan for getting things done: military style. Here are the tips:
1: Receive the Mission (figure out what you have to do)
2: Issue a Warning Order
3: Make a Tentative Plan (process your steps, what do you need?)
4: Initiate Movement
5. Conduct Reconnaissance
6: Complete the Plan
7: Issue the Order
8: Supervise and Refine (if something goes wrong, how do you deal?
You can take out and add steps where needed. This workshop was important because this list can lead to time management (which prevents procrastination). Leaders have to do as many things as they can, so time management is vital. Don't reject army men when they talk, sometimes they do make sense.

So, last Wednesday was the last home game for the men's basketball game. Two of our star players are seniors so they're graduating in June. Randy Oveneke and Frank Elegar are leaving us. Drexel had a nice ceremony in the beginning of the game which explained the basketball careers of both graduates since they started playing. Some people in the crowd cried. [I was proud because these two young men were black and strong. This shows that Drexel may have a small amount of people of color on campus, but still, everyone graduates with a piece of greatness. Drexel welcomes everyone, and believe me, everyone has the same opportunities here.] We actually did win that game (67-70), which gave those two stars leaving us something great to remember.

Congrats to Frank and Randy. Talk to you guys soon! I'm about to step out with my ladies and my best friend (Ken; Ken Francis) and have a good time. Speak to you guys soon....
