Leaders no matter what has an influence on our world. They have missions, dreams and ambitions and with these things they are destined to go far. For leaders, what makes these dreams a reality is having strong qualities such as leadership practices, values ​​and strengths. If developed and learned to use them correctly, these are what take leaders to the next level and accomplish great things. In the following article I will discuss leadership in our ever-changing world, explore my leadership practices, values ​​and strengths, as well as elaborate on the goals I have set to challenge myself as a leader. Even though our world is constantly changing, as shown in the “Did You Know?” video, the way our leaders lead has been fairly constant. The traits and qualities that past leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King had are the same traits that the leaders we look to today have. Good leaders are aware of our ever-changing world and have learned to adapt to what works best for those around them. The book, Learning as a Way of Being, discusses how as leaders we must be prepared for the changes that are constantly occurring in our society. We must always be open to learning new things and how best to adapt to the environment around us. The more experiences we face in the past, the more prepared we will be for future changes.

This is achieved through the other students I not only live with, but also attend classes with, the volunteer opportunities, lectures, and connections. One of my favorite quotes to live by is from William Arthur Ward and that is, “If you can dream it, you can make it happen,” and I feel like I'm working towards that at this point in my life.
