Leadership in a Nut Shell

Senior in High School; Michaella Anne Cooke, graduation class of 2013. So what is it that Michaella is going to do to make a impact; to be remembered? I never thought about being a leader in this place, mostly because I'm so excited to leave and not have to come back. So I thought about what I am going to do to create a change. And I came to the conclusion that need to simply be a myself, offer help if people need it and be there for others. It's not just about school, or the people I'm graduating with; it's about what people will remember me by. Do I want to be a leader or a follower? And in my own way, I already am a leader. I don't follow the style, the attitude, or my interests. I'm a wood worker, a welder, a friend. And just by being myself is how I am going to be that leader I feel I should be. I am going to show people it's ok to be different, it's ok to go against the crowd if that's what you want to do, and it's ok not to be ok. I'll make my own change, by letting other people decide it for me.
