Learning
Outcomes
Being
a
good
leader
has
always
been
of
great
importance
of
me..
Leadership
has
been
more
than
just
a
skill
to
put
on
a
resume,
but
a
part
of
my
survival.
As
a
little
person
and,
more
broadly,
as
a
person
with
disability,
it
is
often
expected
that
we
remain
idle
to
our
own
oppression
and
exploitation
from
the
able-bodied
powers
that
be.
This
oppression
results
is
the
exclusion
of
people
with
disabilities
from
the
community
through
such
devices
as
institutionalization,
denial
of
education
and
refusal
to
permit
participation
in
core
activities
of
society.
In
facing
these
injustices,
a
need
for
great
leadership
arises.
In
order
to
take
our
bodies
and
our
voices
back
and
to
strive
for
a
more
equitable
living
situation,
the
disabled
community
needs
strong
leadership
and
I
see
myself
becoming
one
of
those
strong
leaders.
The
UNIV
392
course
centers
on
honing
leadership
skills
through
practice
within
the
OL
position
and
for
our
future.
The
three
learning
outcomes
that
I
hope
to
achieve
over
the
duration
of
this
summer
within
the
UNIV
392
course
all
encompass
vulnerability
in
leadership.
They
are:
1)
Being
more
open
to
others,
2)
Being
more
open
to
myself
and
3)
Embracing
the
things
that
I
cannot
change.
All
three
are
important
to
my
role
as
an
OL
and
as
an
advocate
for
disability
rights
of
my
own
and
my
community.
To
me,
the
hardest
part
of
being
a
leader
is
showing
vulnerability.
So
often,
vulnerability
is
perceived
as
a
bad
thing,
that
it
is
a
sign
of
weakness.
But
in
reality,
