To me, leadership is leading by example. My years in high school have shown me that the person who builds people up, and shows kindness is more of a leader than someone who commands and controls people.

Though at times it may be difficult to not always take the easy way out, in the end it will be rewarding. Those with character will oftentimes be the leader who spends their time serving those in their community and continuously seeking knowledge. Every day I will continue to try and be the best I can be, because it is simply the right thing to do.
