"I would hate to wake up one morning unable to recognize who I've become because I based my life upon your assumed outcome." As a junior with a dual major in Mass Communication and Businss Administration, I have finally found myself getting a step closer to revealing my purpose and fulfilling my passion. Always chosen to be a leader among a pack, I began to question the purpose to lead. I have seen a number of leaders lead their followers astray or fail their audience and I never wanted to be that person. To the point where I began to resent seeing people who longed for leadership for merely a title but did not want to help others be able to stand without them as their crutch. Therefore, I chose to run away... run away from this calling. I soon enrolled as a freshman at North Carolina Central University, where I told myself that I was going to be a different person. I was going to run away from all types of leadership, primarily in things I loved the most. --- I soon grew quiet, shy and soft spoken. I began to hesitate to express my emotion behind things to the point where I began to lose myself. -- After stepping away from my passions and things that pushed me to be better.. I began to long for who i used to be. I began finding leadership once more but with a different outlook -- to help others surpass their limited expectation, to not sray away from who the have grown to be but to grow into a more mature YOU. Helping others find this helped me ignite my fire and drive for leadership. Though I have not found myself yet. I know as I help others find themselves I am on my way.
