Mr. LCHS 2017 Trivia Section Reflection discusses how the author took initiative to fill empty time during the annual Mr. LCHS competition by writing difficult trivia questions for the contestants based on their career choices. Fewer than half the contestants answered correctly, testing their confidence. The author sees this as an example of initiative by stepping up to accomplish a task, and plans to lead more from the front in the future instead of waiting for others.

In Student Council, we host the annual Mr. LCHS competition in the
Auditorium in late April. Both this year and the year before, we ran into an issue of an empty space in the schedule while the judges deliberate the winner. I took the initiative to write some difficult trivia questions based on the choices the contestants made in the career section of the competition. In the end, I achieved my goal, with less than half of them being able to answer their questions correctly, and the rest having their confidence tested with an awkward situation. Initiative is defined as stepping up to accomplish a task. If this is the case, then my choice to step up and fill the void in our schedule definitely qualifies as initiative. In the future, I plan to lead more from the front, and stop waiting for others to step up, when the opportunity and its attached risks could be mine.
