My Introduction

I am taking Leadership for Change because I believe that participating in a course like this will better help me discover myself and really understand who I am as a person and more as a African American woman. I also am interested in this course just by its name, LEADERSHIP....I'm all about learning how to become a leader or bettering myself as a leader. Leaders set trends and acccomplishes many goals throughout their life time and I want to be one of those amazing people.

As a child I was EXTREMELY goofy and part of me is today, and I always loved to have fun whether it was playing jump rope, going swimming, or running back and forth to the candy store because I couldnt get enough of the sweet stuff. What I believe to attract me most as a child was always being a helper. I loved when different events would occur in my neighborhood or at church because I would be the first to volunteer myself just because I loved being around people and assisting others.

The sense I believe I utilized most throughout my childhood was sight. I was very observant even during times I wasnt suppose to be. I observed many things about certain people and through my sight , it led to my understanding of right and wrong. I remember numerous of times seeing people with laverish things like cars and clothes and I would daydream or play like I was those people even down to the way I would talk, walk,and even treat others. I had dreams of being a singer to a dancer to a teacher, to even being confused and unsure of what I wanted to do but now I realize much of my purpose. As I became older and understood many things that I didnt understand when I was younger, I know I'm here for a reason. And even though I have grown up, many of those childhood things are still prevelant in my life because I know that they too as well serve a purpose.
