In any situation where leadership opportunities are present I feel as though it is often the most courageous is the one to take charge and step into the leadership role. I think that in any type of leadership the confidence of the leader has a direct correlation to how present and how effective they are at the role.

From my friends and teachers I learned how they studied so that I could get better at studying. I also read autobiographies about people I admired—Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Steve Jobs to absorb a little of them into the person I want to be.
