Brain Rules Chapters 7 & 8; A Student Leaders Perspective

I define leadership as anyone's ability to make their own path, rather than following someone elses. Leadership does not come easy to everyone in society. Some people are timid and lack the tenanciousness to tell other people what to do. Leaders are normally seen as confident, strong, passionate, and outspoken. Leadership can be showing other people a way to accomplish or achieve something, while leaders are still achieving it themselves. You could probably say that I am a natural-born leader. I am outspoken, pretty confident, and have the drive to lead any group, conversation, activity, etc. Among my siblings, I have always been known as the one to intiate anything, whether it be cleaning off the table after dinner or starting my homework as soon as I got home afterschool. In almost every organization I've joined, I have taken a leadership role of some kind: president of NHS, captain of my cheerleading team and Model U.N., etc. My friends tell me I'm normally the one to plan parties, get activities going on a boring Friday night, or even pick a place to eat. I'm always interested in being a leader, and I hope that can transfer into the college career I am just beginning. I would like to become a bible study leader, much much later into my career. Haha. I don't believe I have sufficient knowledge quite yet to teach someone else about faith. However, that's a long-term goal of mine. Also, I would love to be a leader in my sorority. It is a LOT of work from what I've seen, but definitely worth it.
