Undergraduate / As the child of a pastor, I learned the meaning of being well-rounded through being reliable [3]

As the child of a pastor, I learned the meaning of being well-rounded through being reliable, resilient and flexible which are important qualities as a leader. For example, I have watched my father and mother lead a church which causes then to be able to relate and handle many different situations. In addition, I have been placed in situations that have pushed me pass my comfort zone. For instance, as a dancer and an athlete, there were times I was pushed beyond my own limitations in order to reach my goal. The development of myself has produced strong leadership skills and determination that I demonstrate in my schoolwork, as I run track, church, and in my home. As for my role in leadership, I am the one to take action when people are in need of help. Consequently, I have a younger sister and two younger brothers looking up to me. It is my responsibility to lead by example. I accomplish this by being determined to do my best and not give up. As a FAMU scholar, I will be the one to step up and take action in my classes, clubs, and in my future. Even though the journey may be challenging, I am up for the challenge. The FAMU community will gain a person determined to make positive changes starting with school and ending with the world.
