Outcomes
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor targets different outcomes; all of the
classes list these outcomes on the syllabi (the words “goals” or “curriculum areas” may be used instead). In many of our
classes, the assignments can serve as your evidence. Periodically, and not less than at the end of each semester, you should
update your outcomes progress. In the “additional experiences” column, name additional classes or experiences that
contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome. As the semesters pass, you will think of things from recent semesters and
semesters further in the past, or people or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome. Do not let
that ambiguity upset you. Reflecting on development is not a linear process, but it does help to reflect often. In the “descriptive
notes” column, share insights about your growth, lack of progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At the end of each section,
you need to include evidence that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of papers, grading sheets, evaluation
letters—anything that shows that someone has determined that you have demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making
progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies of all of your evidence to include in your Portfolio.

and a minimized need Book Drive not selfish and goes out of their way to help the
for approval people and community around them. When they do
this, they can not have a selfish mindset because that
could jeopardize what they are trying to accomplish.
This is something I am still trying to get better at,
because I constantly seek the approval of the general
public and I want other people to see what I have
done to help others. During the speaker panel, the
man who worked in the government stated that the
people who work in the government for recognition
and money rarely ever succeed. But he said, the best
people to lead the public are the people who are only
working there to solely represent the public.
Something I have personally done when I went out of
my way to minimize a need for approval is when I
solely ran a book drive in my hometown. We donated
over 300 books and I quietly drove the books over to
the drop off site and was personally happy with my
work.

identify what I am feeling in that particular moment,
and figure out the consequences of showing that
particular feeling. If I am feeling aggravated, I just
think of the negative implications of showing that and
work around it.
An example of being self-disciplined in the college
academic world is when I was learning to be a tour
guide. This act required a lot of self-discipline and it is
mentally exhausting yet rewarding. I had to attend
numerous training meetings over 1 ½ months to
learn. I read the training manual, recreated a script
that worked well with my own vocabulary and then
memorized it. Memorizing eleven pages of script is
relatively difficult but I was patient and self-
disciplined and I was successful.

opinions. A leader must not get flustered when
things go wrong because people look up to them
and if the leader is angry, it will cascade onto all
of the helpers. The leader has to be cool and
collected. For example, two years ago I was
leading a Rotary Interact event to serve
Thanksgiving last year to the residents of the
senior center. Although a couple days before the
event, volunteers kept dropping out until we
were incredibly understaffed. Even though that
was very frustrating, instead of being defeated,
we put our brains together and created a list of
students that we could personally invite. The
event was a success because no one’s emotions
got out of hand.

day-to-day activities. My top three stress
management methods that I constantly utilize
consist of creating a schedule, exercising, and
reducing social media. When I create my own
schedule, I can construct a busy day and make it
seem much more manageable. This allows me to
easily complete one task at a time and feel a
sense of success after each small completion.
Exercise is also a very important part in my plan,
because it keeps my body tired so my mind is
ready to think/work. And finally reducing social
media is crucial because that is my main source
of distraction. This allows me to work closely on
what I have in front of me, so I never feel
stressed about what I am doing.

personally research techniques to keep my mind
clear and calm. It is extremely easy to get caught
up in school and work since I currently live on
campus and school is constantly surrounding me,
so I must force myself to take breaks. I allocate
hours throughout the day to going to the gym,
being with friends, playing sports with friends,
etc. I have found that physical activity, especially
with other people, has really helped me manage
my stress. Another technique that I have learned
is calling family members. I enjoy catching up
with my older siblings and my parents. They
always fill me in on very interesting stories.
After those techniques I feel even more ready to
take on the day and accomplish my tasks.

6 Student will express a Various My personal code of leadership ethics would revolve
. personal code of leadership around making sure everyone in my ‘group’ succeeds
leadership / positions, at a project while everyone feels successful. For the
membership ethics specifically the first two years of high school, I was a part of roughly a
rotary interact dozen organizations and most of them did not include
president in high the underclassmen in the decision-making process at
school. all. It was almost like the underclassman were there
just to sit there and play follow the leader. I strongly
despised this technique because it did not encourage
people to speak their minds and for the most part,
only the upperclassmen felt involved in the club. I
notice this at URI clubs as well. When I became the
president-elect & president for my Rotary Interact
club my last two years of high school, I made sure we
had at least one meeting a month where we had an
interactive brainstorming meeting among the whole
club regardless of age. When I instituted that idea, we
broke free from the basic traditions, and we became a
more interesting club and impacted more people in
the community and abroad. Everyone needs to be
involved because everyone has different ideas and
experiences.
Some traits that I believe every ethical leader should
possess would be adaptability and inclusiveness. This
is exactly what I did in the example above, just trying
to get everyone to have a voice.

to speak up and ask questions and I give them
hope that if they come to this school, they will
have a successful college career. Regarding self-
regulation and forgiveness, I am very forgiving to
myself if I ever fail at something that I truly was
hoping to succeed in. For example, If I was really
hoping to get a great grade on an exam and I get
a mediocre one, I am not going to get overly
angry at myself. I am going to go over what I got
wrong, figure out how I can fix it next time, and

happens, my mood drastically changes in a

something I would like to work on and figure out.

leadership by Greenleaf HDF Tour
190 Guiding We learned this through the theory of leadership
by Greenleaf. A servant leader goes out of their
way to interact with everyone around them to
accomplish a common goal that positively
impacts the world. The first characteristic is
listening. They need to be open to change after
attentively listening to their group members.
Another essential characteristic is awareness.
The servant leader always has to be on their toes,
ready to adapt to the situation around them.
Another characteristic is empathy, the servant
leader must be able to understand the feelings of
the people around them. This allows the leader to
make sure everyone feels comfortable. The next
characteristic is healing, which is essential
because the leader is able to heal relationships
around them. So their team is able to run
smoothly and without any hitches. The fifth
characteristic is persuasion, in the sense that
they are able to be persuaded by their group
members. The leader does not make everything
up themselves, there is interaction and
communication. Another essential characteristic
is conceptualization, and overall, this trait makes
sure the leader can produce new ideas and think
outside of the box. This trait gives them
credibility. Another trait is foresight, and this
means that the servant leader is able to predict
what is going to happen in the future based off of
past experiences. The eighth trait is stewardship,
which means that the leader is able to trust every
member of the team. If there is no trust, then the
project is not going to go far. Then we have,
commitment to the growth of people and overall
this states that the leader is not going to be
selfish and actually wants to see everyone grow
around them. Finally, the last value is building a
community, and this states that the servant
leader has to have a drive to help the people and
community around them. This makes It easier for
more people to feel involved and welcomed.

190 Counsellin Greenleaf and it states that as a servant leader,
g you are a servant first. So, this means that your
main goal is to completely focus on others to try
to change the world in a positive fashion. As a
servant leader, you can not be selfish. An example
of this in my personal life is through a camp
counselling job I possessed for a couple of
months. The main mission through that camp is
to help allow the students to grow and always be
there for them. I was watching over and 'hanging
out’ with young children for numerous hours a
day, for many weeks and it eventually got tiring.
At some points I was so tempted to not come for
a day, or leave early, because little kids can
sometimes be devils. But following Greenleaf’s
teachings, I understood that what I was doing
was helping them grow after each lesson they
learned. And even though it was aggravating for
me every once and a while, I stayed their to make
a positive change.

“Relational Leadership” model by
1 really focus on defining Relational Leadership
.
Komives, McMahon & Lucas 190 Tour
Guiding, which overall is a very tough thing to do. For
Leadership hundreds of years people have attempted to
institute, define leadership, there have been thousands of
Club books defining it. Yet they truly have the most apt
Ultimate definition out of all of them. It goes as follows, “a
relational process of people together attempting
Frisbee
to accomplish change or make a difference to
benefit the common good.” (Komives, Lucas &
McMahon) It is simple yet a very definitive
definition, to be a relational leader you must work
with the people around you to accomplish positive
change. Successful relational leaders always
follow these five components: purposeful,
empowering, inclusive, process oriented, and
ethical. The breakdown of all the components
goes as follows. Purposeful is making sure that
there is a reason for your actions and the people
around you have a common goal in mind to make
positive change. Empowering consists of bringing
people up around you with praise and
encouragement. This allows people to grow and
encourages them to bring innovative ideas to the
table. Inclusiveness is the concept that you never
turn anyone away based off their values, beliefs,
looks, etc. Everyone should have the right to
speak. Process orientated makes sure everyone
in the group is part of the planning process and
can utilize their strengths to improve the idea.
Lastly, ethical emphasizes using values,
standards, and morals in your leadership process.
In HDF 190 we also touched upon the
three basic principles of relational leadership. You
must know yourself and recognize that others
view things differently. You must be open,
inclusive, and ethical. And you must do the act in
a socially responsible manner.

Development” by circles are made up of group values, individual values,
Astin et al and community values. And in each circle, there are
numerous subsections. The subsections consist of 7
C’s which goes as follows: consciousness, congruence,
commitment, collaboration, common purpose,
controversy with civility, and citizenship.
The First three subsections fall in the individual values
circle. Consciousness is being self-aware and mindful
of knowing yourself and your strengths and
weaknesses. Also, you must understand your beliefs,
values, attitudes, and emotions that motivate you.
Congruence are practicing the beliefs that you say are
important to you. Your feelings and beliefs must be
consistent. While commitment is the ability to stick to
something that is important to you to accomplish a
goal in mind. You must have the energy to sere the
group and its goals without fault.
The next circle of group values circles around the next
three subsections. Collaboration is working effectively
with other people in a shared process to come to an
agreed goal. Everyone in the group has a variety of
perspectives and talents. The common purpose is
having shared values and goals to build a group’s
vision and purpose. And the controversy with civility
talks about how groups are going to have people with
different viewpoints and that these differences must
be aired openly but with civility. Finally, the last circle
of community values circles the subsection of
citizenship. Citizenship is a process where individual
people become engaged in a community while being
an active participant.

examples of using techniques to

work effectively with difficult people HDF group of people, it is extremely likely that at
. 190 least one person is going to put in minimal to no
effort in the project. I typically lead and facilitate
the group projects I participate in, and I have to
frequently work with ‘difficult’ people. A recent
example of this was during an accounting project
when one of my group members texted in the
group chat rarely and I noticed that they never
started their section hours before the deadline. I
originally set up a zoom meeting days before the
deadline to talk about the project to make sure
we were all on the same page. They were unable
to attend, so I communicated their role very
clearly to them through text message. When I
realized they made no progress with their work, I
ended up reaching out and called them
individually. After talking with them for roughly
ten minutes explaining the project more in depth
and clearly outlining their section. It was
complete within an hour.
Overall, my main technique revolved around
constant communication and clearly articulating
the task. I tried to simplify the assignment and I
was constantly there as extra support. At the end
of the day, the assignment was handed in on
time and we received a great grade.

HDF MKT 265 I had an assignment in my Marketing 265 class
. 190 where I had to personally conduct two
interviews for a product my group and I came up
with. Overall, the mission of the interview was to
gather potential customer feedback to use for
our project. It was also recorded. Regarding
planning, we went into extreme depths to
prepare for the interviews. We first wrote down
the potential questions in an open-ended
format, talked about it, adapted them, and
followed that cycle till we were satisfied with the
questions. We then went through the probable
answers to each question, and we prepared
follow-up responses. After we had the questions
prepared, I selected two people to interview.
Before the interview, I claimed a study-room in
the Hill Side resident hall and invited the
interviewees to the room. I started off with an
introduction of myself and asked them to
introduce themselves as well. I talked calmly,
confidently, and I made small jokes when they
were appropriate to loosen the interviewees
mood a bit. I made sure each question flowed
together, so I did not seem like a scripted robot. I
also made sure that the interviewee was talking
the most and I was mostly steering the
conversation. Overall, it was a great experience
and I felt like it was very successful.

interviewed HDF Summer I have participated in numerous interviews over
. 190 internship the past couple of years and each time I prepare
interview 2022 for a new interview, I use what I learned from
the previous ones and change my preparation
tactics. My current preparation method consists
of researching the company/entity I am
interviewing for. For example, when I was
interviewing for my summer internship at
SOVOS, I made sure to know their mission
statement, how their company operates, who
they do business with, how many employees
they have, where their headquarters are located
at, etc. The interview was over Zoom so I was
able to have my notes up on my computer
discreetly. I had common interview questions on
my screen with bullet points underneath it
where I could gain inspiration during the
interview. I feel like when I was being
interviewed for the SOVOS internship, my
interviewer asked me uncommon questions. For
example, she asked, “What do you do for fun?” I
was fully expecting her to start off with, “Tell me
about yourself.” or “Why do you want this
position?” But overall, she was trying to decipher
if I had other interests outside of just career-
orientated life. Most of her questions were
relatively unexpecting, they were mostly
questions about my personal life. Or questions
that required me to think and come up with
answers on the spot. Overall, it was a very fun
interview.

HDF Tour Guiding One of the main tasks as a tour guide is to sell
. 190 the school to prospective students and their
parents, but that can only happen if they believe
what I say is true. Building, maintaining, and
repairing credibility is a vital part of my job. To
build credibility I do a variety of things. For one, I
wear professional clothing, I wear my Tour Guide
issued jacket along with my name tag. To start
off the tour I list the clubs, organizations, and
events I am involved in, so they understand that I
am heavily involved in campus life. Finally, I start
off the tour with numerous facts accompanies by
extremely specific numbers so they get a great
first impression of me. For example, I start off
with the fact that our student body is made up of
15,572 students. To maintain my credibility, I
speak very calmly and clearly. If I am asked a
question that I do not know, I say, “Sorry I do not
know that off the top of my head, but if you
meet me after the tour, I can help you find the
answer.” This shows that I am very honest and
am there to help them. Also, I make sure I am
prepared before the tour with all the
information, so everything runs smoothly, and it
is not choppy. Finally, there are also times where
I have to repair my credibility. This typically
happens when I say the wrong number for a
particular fact. For example, there are times
when I mix up the number of students welcomed
by the fitness centers and the number of times
students signed up for appointments through
starfish in 2020. To regain my credibility, I usually
make a joke about how I need more sleep and
say that I mixed up the numbers. I make sure I
confidently say the actual statistic and I move on
with my tour and still maintain my confidence.

mentored HDF Gym I have had numerous experiences in my life in
. 190 which I have either been mentored by someone
or I have mentored someone. Regarding being
mentored by someone, I underwent an eight-
week training period to become a tour guide.
There were many levels of mentors in this
program. I was part of a small four-person group
with a Tour Guide Mentor watching over us,
then there was a Tour Guide overseer of the
whole training team, and then there was an
adult admissions counselor watching over us as
well. There was a surplus of people who I could
contact and ask questions from and that was
extremely useful. The most helpful resource was
the TG mentor of my small group because we
were in constant communication. She also took
me on mock tours of each section of the of the
tour, we recapped afterwards, and she explained
what I should work on, and it went through that
cycle. She was encouraging and was always there
when I needed assistance. Overall, the mentor(s)
I had made it extremely easy to learn the
material.
Regarding me mentoring someone else, an
example of this was when I guided my friend at
the gym. He was motivated to start working out
and I supported that whole-heartedly, so he
started coming to the gym with me. I showed
him the correct technique and form for each
workout, and I answered any questions he had.
After a couple of months, he ended up gaining
enough information and skill where he could
comfortably go to the gym by himself. I felt very
good about myself and proud of my friend.
