LPI test
Regarding my results to the LPI-leadership performance inventory, I wasn't too surprised. I ranked highest in Encourage The Heart, which is what I expected. I always try to be supportive and inclusive to everybody whenever I can, and am very vocal about my support for others. As for my lowest, it was very close between Inspire A Vision and Challenge The Process, but I was one point weaker in Inspire A Vision. I can believe that, because I wouldn't really call myself a "call to action" type of leader; I consider myself the type of leader that can take inspiration and channel it well. I wouldn't have been surprised if I was weakest in Challenge The Process however, as I don't usually look for new ways to do things. In order to improve in the Inspire A Vision category, I feel as if I need to find something I am very passionate about, and will be able to inspire others to act on it more effectively. As far as Challenge The Process, I feel like I can improve by looking at things differently from how I normally do, and attempt to find a new way to overcome a challenge.

Random acts of kindness
For my random act of kindness, I was able to help my roommate get into the sport of boxing. He had expressed earlier to me that he had an interest in learning how to box, but nothing had ever come of it. Recently, I had to take a trip back home to Chicago for a few days, and while there, I was able to find an old pair of boxing gloves I had bought but barely used. Upon returning back from home, I presented him with the pair of gloves (I had bought them new for $75) for free, as well as took him to the rpac and taught him the basics of boxing. We plan to go back regularly, so I can teach him to eventually spar. My roommate isn't the first person I taught, as I used to teach classes whenever the main instructor wasn't able to, but doing it again recently reminded me of how much I love to box, as well as how much fun it is to teach others. It is decently something I plan to do more of in the future.
Included is a picture of the gloves I gifted him.
