Importance of a Healthy Sleep Cycle

Okay, many of you will read this and become confused on how it ties in with leadership and our class. Well I have recently stretched myself out very thin, trying to accomplish several things at the same time, meanwhile I lost a lot of sleep in the process. I am pledging Theta Nu sorority which takes a lot of time and energy. I am trying to stay active in my other organizations and trying to study really hard in order to raise my grade in biology. I am sorry if I am going off on a rant but I promise this will tie in very shortly! I am only in college and trying to do a little of this and a little of that has exhausted me. However, I am taking this as a lesson learned. I know how much I can handle and when I need to step aside and let someone else volunteer. I have also learned that sleep is very important to remain a decent leader. If you stay up late studying or other things, the next day you aren't well rested and not as open to other people as you should be. Lack of sleep takes away important leadership skills such as enthusiasm and communication. Therefore, my conclusion to this tiny rant is, sleep ladies because we all need it and it will make being a leadership a tiny bit easier to handle!

Oprah! (the post that didn't save)

      Apparently my post did not upload last week. So I will just tell you about it! I have been reading a book about Oprah Winfrey. Starting it I thought that it was going to bore me to death because everyone knows something about Oprah. However, I have yet to be bored! I have learned many things about Oprah's past and how her past influences how she is today. Many times I have caught myself laughing out loud at something she said or did as a child. I am not even half way through the book but so far I have learned many leadership strategies she applies in her life on a daily basis. I am searching for interesting facts about her to share with everyone when reports are due! Don't worry, this book is filled with interesting thoughts about Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah Winfrey

     Today I read about Oprah Winfrey and found out very interesting facts. For one, did any of you guys know that Oprah's first name was actually "Orpah", named after a biblical character in the Book of Ruth! I have seen her biography on tv but do not recall that fun fact. I also read more about the Oprah Winfrey Foundation she started a few years ago. This is the main reason why I chose Oprah. She started from poverty and look at her now!! She is worth around 2.9 billion dollars! She wants to inspire young women from similar backgrounds to do great things in their life in turn inspires me.
