“Be the selfless individual that takes the time to know the people that you are going to lead.” Josie Skinner ‘25
Good morning, my name is Josie Skinner from the class of ‘25. Today I will give a personal reflection on servant leadership in light of our Lenten Food Drive for Day Spring.
As a wrestler, I’ve practiced in a lot of 85 degree wrestling rooms. Nothing beats the Chatard wrestling room when you are in sweatpants and a hoodie and you’re choking on air because the humidity is so high. I sweat a lot during those practices, but not as much as when I was sitting in a sweat lodge outside of the Jes Res on the Pine Ridge Reservation. There I was in June of 2023, in a long skirt, chewing on sage, burying my hands in the cold dirt, trying to keep my eyes closed or else the steam would burn them, and sweating like crazy. This might not sound like a pleasant experience, and I can’t say that it was, but that wasn’t the point of this sweat lodge. In the Lakota tradition, sweat lodges are places where people can come and sweat out all of their worries and troubles. It’s a ritual to cleanse the soul for the Lakota. To heal the soul. After exiting the sweat lodge, I felt lighter, and that could have been the result of losing so much water, but I know it was because I was able to wash away all of my worries.
This experience was just one of many I had while I was on the Pine Ridge Cultural Immersion trip. Going on that trip allowed me to understand the Lakota culture and their lifestyle. This is crucial when being a servant leader. The first part of being a servant leader is to serve others. This can only be accomplished when you know the needs of those you are serving. I had to learn to listen. Not only with my ears but also with my heart. After spending almost three weeks immersed in the Lakota tradition and way of life, I learned more about the problems that were afflicting them. I did the same thing when I went to El Salvador last year, learning about the pain that the people of El Salvador still deal with after their last civil war. I learned the importance of being able to understand where they were coming from. I believe that this is the most important part of being a servant leader, because you cannot truly serve people without listening to them, learning what
their needs are and then finding ways to meet their needs.
The second part of being a servant leader is the ability to use your gifts and talents to meet the needs of others. The place where I learned how to be a leader was on the soccer field. This year, along with the other seniors, I was placed into a leadership position. Leadership looked like running summer practices, coordinating dress-up themes, planning get-togethers, and much more. As a senior leader, I felt the responsibility to not only play well, but also lead my team and be the person that my teammates could look to for guidance. However, three games into the season, I injured my ankle and I was out for the rest of the regular season. This frustrated me, not only because I wouldn’t be able to play the game I love, but also because I didn’t know how to be a leader without being on the field and leading by example.
Sitting on the sideline is when I learned how to become a different kind of leader, a servant leader. Remembering the lessons I had learned from Pine Ridge and El Salvador, I knew that being on the bench with an injury wasn’t the time to pull away, even though I felt helpless at times because I wasn’t able to be out there playing with my teammates each game like I wanted. However, it was the perfect time to support and encourage my teammates. It was also the perfect time to watch my team and analyze our strengths and weaknesses from a different perspective, not from the field, but from the sidelines. I knew that when I could come back to play, I would be ready not only to contribute with my performance but also with my suggestions of how we could play better as a team. I knew this because I had spent time observing them, listening to them, and encouraging them, similar to how I spent time with the people of Pine Ridge and El Salvador. That time recovering empowered me as a leader on the field and on the sidelines. Now, more than ever, I knew what our team needed and what I could do to meet their needs.
When I was cleared to play, it was tournament time. After being a sub0.500 team, no one was expecting us
to go far. We had a hard sectional and knew that it would take only our best team performance to win it. But I knew that our team could do it, because I had watched them for five weeks and we had created a winning strategy. With this mentality, we won our sectionals, we won regionals, in fact, we made it all the way to semi-state where we missed our chance to go to state by only one goal. While I was disappointed in not playing for a state championship, I am also so proud of our team! I learned so much from them: they taught me perseverance, not listening to the doubters, and they gave me the best gift of all, being able to play 6 more games with them! In return, I believe I was able to make a contribution to our team because I had to learn how to be a different leader than I had originally thought of myself; I learned how to be a servant leader. Many of you are in leadership positions, whether that be on a sports team, a club, or a performing arts group. Many of you will assume leadership positions as you develop in life. I challenge you to be a servant leader. Be the selfless individual that takes the time to know the people that you are going to lead. To serve. See what their needs are so that you can serve them, because at the end of the day, the best part of being a servant leader is watching those that you are leading succeed, much like how I watched my soccer team succeed this season.
If you are still struggling to understand how to be a servant leader here at Brebeuf, consider our partnership with Day Spring. We learned on Ash Wednesday from Kendal the needs of Day Spring. Today on Holy Thursday, we can celebrate having listened and responded to those needs by collectively bringing in food and money for the food drive. This will help Day Spring succeed with their mission: to serve families experiencing homelessness in our community. You have already taken one step in the right direction to becoming a servant leader. The next step is yours: listen to the needs of others, understand them, and use your gifts and talents with the many opportunities here at Brebeuf to serve those in need. Thank you.

4. MAGICAL MOMENTS. In the cafeteria of Rydell High, Doody, Colton Eastwood ‘27, sings “Those Magic Changes” to Frenchy, Edie Rees ‘25. “When I learned that I was going to play guitar for the musical, I was more than excited. Every day after school, I would practice for Doody by strumming chords to my favorite Taylor Swift songs. What I most loved about being Doody is how the character allowed me to open up. His youthful and hopeless romantic soul brought me so much joy whenever I got to be him on stage,” said Eastwood. L. Adams photo. 2 3
3. DATE DRAMA. After Danny, Max Adams ‘25, stole Kenickie’s, Charlie Miller ‘25, date, Rizzo, Lily Carlstedt ‘28, for prom, they chat with each other. “I was giving away my date Cha Cha (played by Sloane Swenson), whose character was pretty loud and obnoxious, to my friend Danny (played by Max Adams) as a way of messing with him and getting back at him for stealing my girlfriend for the dance,” said Charlie Miller ‘25. After Danny and Kenickie switched dates, they had a fun time with a dance competition. L. Adams photo.

SETTING THE SCENE
How did Junior Srudent Council decide on the theme “A Night at Gatsby’s” for prom this year?
“Some of the girls on student council and I coincidentally all had the idea to make prom Great Gatsby themed, and when we presented the idea to the group, everyone loved it! We had some backup ideas so I sent a google form to all the junior student council members, and it was a unanimous vote for a night at Gatsby’s! We also chose it because we thought the theme would be universally appealing to the student body, as well, since sophomores read The Great Gatsby in English class.”

What the track athletes really think about the different events.
“The worst event I’ve ever had was probably during freshman year and I was supposed to do an event last minute and I was really stressed but it went okay. The best is probably also when I had a good PR.”
Isaiah Williams ‘27
“I only do one event and it’s pole vaulting, so I don’t have a favorite.”
Conner Sweet ‘28
“Quote 4x8 is my favorite bcs the relays are always more fun, and entertaining. I hated running the 2400 in middle school because you’re just running a mile and a half for no reason.”
Jayden Garner ‘28
“Best event Is a mix between either high jump and long jump and the worst is the 400. I’m never running that again.”
Joseph Kiwanuka ‘26
“I’d have to say my four by one because I like all the guys on the team and they’re all cool. If I pick an event that isn’t a group, I’d pick the 100 because short sprints are definitely my thing. My least favorite is the four by four since at the end of the day a 400 is still hard. It is still fun to race though.”
