I recently volunteered at the LAMB center here in Fairfax with my campus ministry group. If you haven’t heard of it, the LAMB center is a day shelter for people who are homeless or who have very low incomes. It provides breakfast, lunch, showers, laundry service, job search assistance, Bible study, and other services.   […]

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highschool-prep-rally/top-rb-stops-one-yard-short-end-zone-184311063.html This week I decided to write about selflessness in teams and the importance of sharing the glory. Both of these acts are exemplified in the article posted above.

  I think it would be safe to say that Remember the Titans is one of my favorite movies ever!

Okay, so everyone has heard the phrase, “innovation is tradition,” right? Of course you have! It’s our motto here at GMU! Well, an important aspect of being a leader is being an innovator. This may may not be an easy thing to do, but it’s quite important in the way that we show ourselves to […]

Government has become such a prevalent topic these past few months and only grows even more important each day. Democrats want this, Republicans want that, and Rodrigo wants everyone to take a seat and listen for two seconds. Though I may not be the most politically active person, or the most knowledgeable on the issues, […]

After spending about an hour trying to figure out what I should blog about, I came up with absolutely nothing. The other day I read an article about the DC snipers. It was about the youngest guy of the duo, Malvo, now 27, and how now he realizes how horrific his actions were during that […]

Success is something we all strive for, whether it be in school, in our hobbies or both, we all want it. When we aren’t achieving it we all do our best to figure our way around whatever obstacle is holding us back from it. Well, according to Terry Starbucker, writer of How Leaders Can Quickly […]
