Shaking Hands, Kissing Maybes

It is an important choice of one's personal choices to widen the circle of one's acquaintances whenever one can." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Leadership McLean County was a fantastic way to get to know more than thirty new ambitious, outgoing acquaintances each year. Some of those friendships led to other opportunities. Whether in career or personal life, I believe that meeting people is important.

I made a quick list one day in the chase of my "10 new acquaintances" for 2010 goal:

- New freshman coach of NCHS boys basketball
- Volunteer coordinator for an assisted living facility in town
- Coordinator of Heartland Community College math department
- Members of local rock band

Yes? No? Thoughts keep coming. Already made at least four.
