The real issue here is the comments that were allegedly made by the President of the Student Government Association. However, until she can prove that she was misquoted or until she actually responds to the article, nothing can really be said to defend her in that aspect. In regards to her capability as a leader which, as someone who has worked with her on the Executive Board of SGA and within the Greek community, I have seen firsthand, I would have to say that she is most definitely competent. Kerryann is one of the most eloquent communicators I have ever come across, which is why it surprised me to read the remarks she allegedly made to Student Leader. When she was VP for Student Services, she championed many a cause for the students of this University, and stood up to administrators when others would not.
Perseverance is a quality most often admired in leaders.
I would say not. There s an old Japanese proverb, Fall seven times, stand up eight . I think that is a great mentality, and I think that no one can or should be faulted for their desire to keep trying. Good things come to those who wait, as Kerryann has proved by ascending to the Presidency of the Student Government Association. She ran against two highly qualified candidates and came out on top because the senate believed that she would be a good President, which she has been.
