Great Shakeout Drill
Out of all the times that I used my leadership to help a group of people, there is one that stands out as clear as day to me. It would be the Great Shakeout Drill which millions of people practice how to drop, cover, and hold on during drills. By participating with the Community Emergency Response Team club in this drill, it is a great way to be prepared to survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes wherever one is at. This leads me to have a positive influence on others as it gave me insight as to what I can take from this experience and learn from it in a positive angle. Firstly, it gave me a sense of being a leader to everyone on campus as leading students and teachers where to go when an emergency happens. By doing this, it gave me
a sense of proudness in assisting staff and students even though it seems like I didn’t do much, but I knew in the end that people would be thankful what the CERT club did for them in case of emergency. They would know what to do and also will benefit from this drill. As a whole of this event, I learned that communication is key, but also informing people about what could happen in an emergency is one of the greatest things because one can know that they are potentially saving their lives and contributing to the greater good in my community.
