My Leadership Philosophy

Throughout history a strong show of leadership has proven to be a dominant, driving force to inspire respect and trust from those around you. As I move forward in my life past the foreseeable future, I find that the necessary skills in life skills were not the ones that you dreaded learning. The leadership skills and characteristics that define you are the ones that take place outside of the classroom, not my grades, GPA, or class rank. It academic knowledge that I have acquired through self-interest and dedication to my personal success and the success of others. These characteristics lead to a vast amount of knowledge and cause a craving to obtain greater/more knowledge. I believe that every person has leadership skills and characteristics
I sit in bed some nights thinking, I should be getting to work, looking at the clock, and afterwards forcing myself to go to sleep so I do not fall asleep in school the next day. It’s difficult, frustrating, even infuriating at times, but I can never keep myself away, the idea of being able to help others with a few clicks of a button and potentially lead them down a path of success is immensely satisfying. Along with personal reasons to get involved with my online community, it's also something that brings me out of my shell. Though some may argue that spending a large amount of time on the internet diminishes my social activity in real life I’d have to disagree. My friends and I love to share and try and create all of our potential ideas as a way to expand our knowledge and to draw others into our friend group. Programming as a team enhances our friendships and gives us common goals and topics to talk about and focus on. My leadership in the world of computer science gives allows me to tap into a large variety of knowledge granted to me by those who trust and work with me
