Leadership is a skill that not many people can not say they have. People would rather follow others instead of build off their own ideas because, they feel insecure off their own beliefs. Being the oldest in my family, I was born into the leadership position. Leadership comes with responsibility as well as great use of judgment. For one to simply become better at his/her use of judgment they must realize three things. In my personal opinion, for me to be able to posses the use of better judgment and responsible decision making, I need to understand that I can not save everyone.

I never want to see someone fail in life so I take it upon myself to make sure they succeed in life. My mother is a very care giving person so I can see where I get that trait from.
