Why is leadership important?

Until I found myself as part of the disability community, I held various leadership positions and must not have realized the impact I was making in the lives of other people. It was my personal responsibility with making sure things ran smoothly and that I didn't mess around not trying to set a good example for others who counted on me to go out of my way to accomplish my tasks. I have definitely learned the hard way-- trying to understand how much of a role model I can be for others to look up to and learn from personal experiences that it has taken so much to overcome, being able to get to where I am now. I know my life's never going to be perfect no matter how many trials get handed to me, but giving it my one hundred and ten percent is better than nothing at all. 

My leadership status continues to remind me of who I want to become later on and instead of making a complete fool of myself all the time!! It has strengthened me in ways that I never imagined possible and trying to see the bigger picture has been tough at times, when it never should have been in the first place (which if you ask me is a whole another story!!) I am grateful for the many amazing people who stick by me through the thick and thin--(even if I don't necessarily deserve it at all or not--but I can't imagine how my life would be if I didn't get to learn from the best colleagues that anyone could ever ask for.)
