thanksginving turkey program

for the turkey program, Eric, Nathan and i had raised enough money from out advisory and took it upon ourselves to purchase the turkey goods. after school on Friday, we drove over to the market ourselves to buy the goods. after we had gotten all the items, the three of us brought the food items back to the school where they were kept to be delivered on monday.
i feel that i had learned a good amount about initiating activities through this opportunity. by undertaking this with two other students, i feel that i have learned to lead properly and to follow closely. i also learned how to cooperate with others better than i have before on organizing the program. along with the cooperation, i learned how to take initiative. since this was something that no one really wanted to take charge of, Eric, Nathan and I decided to do it and from there we organized it ourselves and completed the program, gathering the largest amount of food for the program from our school.
