LEADERSHIP
Getting into an organization was hard for me. When I first joined the ski club, I wouldn’t talk to anyone. I was scared. When my roommate decided not to be part of it any more, I decided I could take advantage of this and meet new people. There was a meeting where you could put your name in to be on the Executive Board. That day I met everyone and it felt great. I knew I wanted to hang out with these people. I can be a follower but I like leadership. I like being an authority figure. People can ask me questions and I know the answers. It helps to balance out the academics where it is hard for me to answer questions. If I didn’t have any leadership positions, I wouldn’t feel as good about myself as I do.
