    A self-employed business man once said, “The best example of leadership is leading by example” (Jerry McClain). He describes a true leader, a pioneer whose morals and selflessness guide her to guide others. She is an inspiration, and a beacon of hope for all to follow. I share this passion for helping and guiding by example, and as a member of the National Junior Honor Society, I would seek to better the community just as I do every day inside and outside of the classroom.…

    Everyone aspires to be a leader. No one wants to be the quiet person in the room that sits back, while looking for the guidance of others. The desire to be a leader troubled me greatly in the past, because I wanted to be the one that innovated new ideas. I knew I was a quiet kid, but all of my worst fears were solidified when I learned of my first grade teachers thoughts of me which were “ a follower, not a leader”. I tried to brush it off, and disguise my true feelings, but that is not the way I wanted others to perceive me as in any way. Although it is difficult to replace these preconcieved notions, I have consistently worked to show others what I’m made of. All I needed was the opportunity to prove others that they were wrong. Especially since I like to think that it is the quiet ones we need to look out for.…

    Profile of My Mother

    • 1743 Words
    • 7 Pages

    My mother grew up in a small town in Vermont. Her parents were divorced when she was young. She got to visit her father who worked on farms one weekend per month. Her stepfather and mother raised her. They were blue collar workers and provided the basic needs for her and her two siblings. She was the oldest of the three. My mother was very independent from a young age, did well academically in school, participated in all extracurricular activities, and was active in her local church. Because her parents worked so much, they were not able to attend many functions and never were able to go to her sporting events. After high school, she went to Syracuse University and spent one year of that time in France. She studied International Relations and wanted to join the Peace Corps and save the world. Instead, she returned to Vermont, married my father when she was twenty-three, and worked in law offices as a paralegal and Administrative Assistant in a County Attorney 's office. Of course, we need to get to the main part of her story which she states are her three sons. My eldest brother was born the next year, when my mother was twenty-four years old.…

    My mother was a strong woman even though she was tough on me. Like she would say, “Phil you are goanna go to school and you are going to college so you, my son won’t have to live like this and that one day in my olden state you can take care of your loving mother,” then start to cry after words and I would always say I will try mom I will try for you to try and cheer her up.

    Mothers Love

    One of the reasons why I admire my mother so much is because of how strong she is. We have had very long talks about her life, and she has gone into detail of her childhood. Her life wasn’t exactly rough, but it wasn’t the easiest. She became a very independent woman at a young age and grew up a little too fast then she planned. My mother is very street smart. She knows everything about anything because of the fact that she grew up so young. Her entire life has carried the weight and burden of everyone else’s problems on her shoulders. This has made her to be a very caring and generous person. She is always used to reaching out and lending a hand no matter what even at her own expense. I love that about her so much, her ability to keep giving and giving…
