Historian Q&A
What does it mean to you to be a Colt?
Sarah Lichtenfels
To be a Colt is to be proud of who you are. Owning your race, gender and background is the biggest step to becoming a Colt. Being accepting of yourself opens up your arms to everyone else who is struggling with their own issues. You don't have to be perfect to be a Colt, you just have to be yourself and respect others who are doing the same.
What are two Initiatives you will work on as an SBO next year if you are elected?
Sarah Lichtenfels
One thing I really want to work on is making everyone feel like they can succeed. It doesn't matter who you are, you are able to do what everyone else can. I never would have imagined myself here just a few months ago and I want others to understand that if they want to try something, don't let others get in the way of that. I would also love to improve activity attendance. I want to be able to work my fellow SBO's to further encourage people to come to Cottonwood games and dances.
What is one way you would develop activities to make everyone at Cottonwood feel welcome and included?
Sarah Lichtenfels
As the Historian, I would love to create ways for people to get pictures take regardless of outside conditions. I want focus on Cottonwood as whole, not just those who stand in the front or the sports that have the most attendance. I want to be able to take my time to acknowledge everyone who goes to Cottonwood and appreciate each activity.
What advice do you have to stay motivated with academics throughout the year?
Sarah Lichtenfels
This is your future! There is nothing stopping you from succeeding and being the best you that you can be. One of my biggest suggestions is making a plan with somebody close to you. I set goals with my parents quite often and we help each other reach those goals. If you are sharing a class with a friend, make a plan to help one another succeed like making sure they have their assignments done and are on time to class. Never be scared to go to class even when things have been tough. Remember, it's always better late than never.
