Make Your Mark with Lexus (Giveaway) #MakeYourMarkES

(check out this video from Lexus) 

We are entering another the week of the New Year and I've been plugging away at my Bucket List for 2013. I have so many goals and dreams that sometimes I get overwhelmed. Until I remember the reason why I do what I do. 

How do I make my mark in this world?

  *cue Beyonce's "I Was Here"* 


I have built my career around supporting and educating young men and women who will be the first in their family to obtain a 4 year college degree. In recent years college campuses across the country have seen an explosion in the number of students who are becoming pioneers for their families. However, with this important step comes some challenges. Many first generation students struggle with making the transition academically, financially and socially. However, my job is to be their biggest cheerleader. I am one of many administrators who challenge and support these students inside and outside of the classroom. One of the best parts of my job is seeing these students graduate. I also ask my students to send me their business cards from their first jobs so I can add them to my wall 'o success. I think this motivates them and also serves as my reminder of why I do what I do. 

Lexus is giving you an opportunity to share all the ways you make your mark and win a $25 American Express gift card. Use the #MakeYourMarkES hashtag and share how you make your mark on your social media sites. So how do you make your mark? Is it through your family, community or your place of employment? Are you involved in any civic organizations that give you an opportunity to be engaged on a regular basis? Does your church provide service opportunities that you can sign up for?

Here are some ideas of how to share what you do: 

  • Pin a visual that represents your work on Pinterest
  • Tweet your accomplishment on Twitter
  • Post an achievement on Facebook
  • Check-in once you've arrived at that sought after destination on Foursquare
  • Post a video clip on SocialCam
  • Tweet - How Do you Make Your Mark? Share and win a $25 American Express Gift Card from @OnlyLaila bit.ly/ZLPx8m  #MakeYourMarkES
Be sure to leave a comment with a link to each of your entries and make sure to include the #MakeYourMarkES hashtag.  The contest ends on Friday January, 18th  at 11:59pm.  Be sure to stop by on Saturday, January 19th to see who won!
