Now even though I have not had many opportunities to be a leader, I am no less experienced in matters of leadership. When needed I will stand up to lead or help my fellow companions and contribute in any way I can. I may not be the most flamboyant or up-front person but don’t mistake that as a lack of ability. Not to sound arrogant or prideful but I have shown time and time again that I am an apt student that always strives to better my knowledge and capabilities. My grades and teachers can attest to that, and if needed I’ll prove it myself. If anybody needs anything from me, they just need to ask and I’ll do anything within my ability to help. I strive to be a good and humble person that helps others and my community. I always try to be humble and honest because I know the faults of being overly boastful and vain, so if I have or ever do come off as such then please excuse me for I did not mean for it, but in matters such as these, it’s hard not to over inflate one's own accomplishments and ego. I don’t usually talk about myself in such a grandiose way out of fear of sounding like a pompous person. I loath the idea of becoming someone like that. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve decided to try and enter this association. That and I enjoy conversing and debating with people who also strive to learn as much as possible. Learning more about the world around me is one of my favorite things to do. I’m constantly reading or experiencing new things to do and learn more. To this day one of my favorite gifts God has given us, in my opinion, is to be able to experience, analyze, learn and remember new things. I want to be someone who can be called an equal to scholars such as Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, Aristotle, Edgar Allen Poe, and many more. I want to accomplish something great and be remembered for all of human history, but I know that’s a way harder task than it seems. I plan to build a stable and concrete foundation to make such a climb possible. I’m sure I sound like a starry eyed kid who hasn’t seen life to its fullest yet. Someone who isn’t even an adult yet but still tries to do so much after all actions speak louder than words, but I ask you this. Hold such comments until we see the future. It’s too early to state such things before I’ve even tried. Before I derail this reflection more than I already have, let me summarize all of this. I’ll be a great addition to the work place because I am a studious person that strives to be kind and compassionate to others and, if needed, I can be a leader to great efficiency.
