The True Leadership Treasure

I went on search to be a leader,
Searching high and low above the meter,
 

I spoke with authority that I remember,
All would follow, all but one member,
 

“Why should I trust you?’ the one did ask,
“What have you done to achieve the task?”
 

I thought long and hard of what I did wrong,
Then I rolled up my sleeves and worked right along,
 

Shoulder to shoulder we got things done,
We worked side by side, all were one,
 

A mate of mine stumbled, I stooped to assist,
My hand he did grab, a smile did persist,
 

One was lost, didn’t know what to do,
I showed him how, the ropes, something new
 

I praised them one and all for their work,
All were unique, but I encouraged each quirk,
 

When the task was done, one did shout
“You’re a great leader!” they all turned about,
 

"Without you there to support our plight,
Lost would we be with no end in sight",
 

I learned that day that I lead best,
When I get off my butt and help the rest,
 

To lead by example is the true treasure,
The secret of leadership, in one simple measure.

We All Have Feelings

© Anastasia Moser

I'm a human with feelings,
I can cry like the rest,
I have bruises that are healing,
and I deserve myself a rest.

I'm not sure how to say it, 
but I think we go too far,
we drag each other in it,
and we make of it a war.

We all get hurt in times like these,
even when you cannot tell,
but a human soul can break down peace,
and can get to where it seems like hell.

And when we fight each other off,
we wonder how it all started,
we don't know why we act so tough,
and why the friendships have been parted.

But don't you see what words can do?
That we humans all can feel,
it can split us into two,
and it takes time for us to heal.

SOMETIMES, I JUST CAN'T

TELL ANYBODY HOW I REALLY FEEL

NOT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHY

NOT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MY PURPOSE

NOT BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST THEM

BUT BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T FIND 

THE RIGHT WORDS TO MAKE THEM

UNDERSTAND.

Fide et Labore St. John's

There is one song that I can't forget.

When I was thirteen, I don't understand the lyric.

When I was fourteen, I don't understand why we need to sing it every Monday.

When I was fifteen, I slowly found that the rhythm makes me feels good and proud.

When I was sixteen, I sang it loud and clear once I hear the music play.

When I was seventeen, I know that will not be my last time singing that song.

After years have pass, when I come back to a moment of high school nostalgia

I finally know the meaning of the song.

It's not about the words and phrases in the song, but it's the past events that come together with the song. 

The song has it own definition for everyone, even though the lyric is the same.

The song did not repeat itself every Monday, but the song actually makes itself the theme song of the week. 

The song did not meant to be easily sung, but it meant to makes you felt easy when you sing.

"When will it be the last time I’ll sing it?" The answer is “Never."

There is not a single flavour absence in the song.  

There are too much memories lays behind the song. 

And not to forget the rest of St John's spirits.

THE PLEDGE

We'll strive with all our heart and soul

With faith and zeal to reach our goal

Just like the eagle that seeks to spread

its wings on high

For St. John's we will do or die

We'll do our best we'll do what's right

We'll keep the flag flying high up

on the skies above

And we'll always be ready to serve

Yes a name that not a blame

LA SALLIAN SONG

All though the classes a voice is resounding

Promptly respond to your duty's sweet call

Hearken ye all for the trumpet in sounding

Your Mater's proclaiming her watch word to all

*Forward her children dear

Ever with heart sincere

Render with joy to her Mater her due

All the is vile reject

For the last hundred years

You've always been there

Helping us achieve all our hopes and dreams

You helped through our troubles,

Showed us that you cared

Through all the odds St. John's will reign supreme

*The Johannian Spirit lives on and on

In our hearts, and in our minds

The Johannian Spirit lives on and on

St. John's will ive on, till the end of time

In our youthful days, you were there to help us grow

Guiding us to reach the highest goals

Sharing and caring, teachings us everything we know

St. John's is our life and soul

(reapet * 2X)

and of course

AULD LANG SYNE

Should all acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to minds

Should all acquaintance be forgot

And days of auld lang syne

For auld lang syne my dear

For auld lang syne

We'll take a cup of kindness yer

For auld lang syne

  

When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. 
Our answers were things like astronaut, president... or in my case, a prince.
When we were ten, they asked again, and we answered, rock star, adventurer, or in my case a baron. 
But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer.
Well, how bout this:

" Who the hell knows?"

This isn't the time to make hard and fast decision, this is the time to make mistakes. 

Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere.

Fall in love, a lot!

Major in philosophy, because there's no way to make a career out of that.


Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing is permanent.


So make as many mistakes as you can. 


That way, someday, when they ask what we wanna be... 
We won't have to guess. 

We'll know
