I am a student currently living in Marietta, Georgia. My interests range from hiking to fishing. I am also interested in outdoors.

The motivating and prevailing 3 values in my life that I hold above all else are adventure, family, and humor. All of these have specific reasons of why they are important. Adventure because without adventure nothing would ever have bine achieved in history, one example is the first people to walk on the moon because if people were not adventurous enough to get in a rocket and fly into outer space and walk on the moon who would. Family is because without them I would be nowhere in life and I do not believe anyone would be better off with no family than with a family. Humor because if you cannot find humor in life and take time every once and a while and laugh then life isn't fun and you should be doing something better and laugh more because humor is all around us. Adventure has really affected my mantra which is "Life is fragile and can be taken away in an instant so cherish and have fun while you still have the chance.".

I believe that to become a great leader you must be a follower at some point so you can learn what being a leader means and to be shaped by the leaders that came before you because without anyone to learn from then how will you learn how to be a great leader. In my mind in order to be a leader you must be able to help, guide, and shape your followers so they may become great leaders when you are not there to lead them and they must take the responsibility onto themselves. Through this the next generation of great leaders will be born forth to lead and help, guide, and shape their followers. According to the CliftonStrengths quiz my 5 main strengths are Command, Significance, Adaptability, Self-Assurance, and Includer. I most identify with the 3 strengths Command, Adaptability, and Includer.
