“I have to admit that quite a few activities I was being asked to do in a leadership capacity pushed my comfort level. It was hard for me to get out of my shell, but the experience was well worth it for me. I have to thank SUCCI for pushing me, and allowing me to push myself past what I would have been comfortable remaining in.”

Riel Bouchard
Senator of Negahneewin College 08-09

Laura McFarland
President 2008-2009

" Honestly, when I first started in Student Leadership I thought it would be an "easy job",  which turned out to become a passion.  As a student leader, I had  exposures and opportunities that many people never get the opportunity  to experience at such a young age.  I became educated in so many aspects of the world that I would probably have never been interested in, including politics, social issues, collective agreements, as well as complicated and large budgets. I've had experiences such as sitting 
on  interview panels, speaking to large and important crowds and politicians, advocacy, fundraising, events management, human resources, motivation, running meetings, mentoring other students, conflict resolution and the list goes on and on and on.  These experiences have shaped me to be someone who I would never imagined I 
would be.  I have acquired confidence in myself and my work.. however this did not come as easily as it sounds.

When I started as president of SUCCI  I had no idea what I was doing.   I was quiet in meetings because I was trying to learn and soak it all in, and I wasn't sure if I did speak, that I would even be listened to.  However, it didn't take me very long to figure out that the College community are here for students first and WANTED to know what the students had to say.  Occasionally I was wrong, or my ideas were idealistic, however I had amazing mentors and friends who would bring me up to speed on history, or who supported me in learning at my own pace."
