I define leadership. I do everything in my power to influence everyone around me everyday. I try to put others before myself but not to the point where its taken advantage of. I plan on becoming a doctor soon, I don't know what kind yet, but I have some time. I work so hard in school and everyone that knows me understands that. My studies always come first before anything and everything. I know I deserve scholarships because I work hard for it, and I don't care if I sound egotistical, I'm just confident in my abilities. I plan on making a big difference in our generation.
