Maybe I have more to offer than I credited myself to have... Identifying with my
strengths helped me see a deeper meaning as to what leadership is, made me feel good
about myself... then it made me think about the youth in my community, who might also
not take the time to identify their strengths, made me think do they know what their
strengths are, have they asked themselves that? And with that thought in mind made me
think of how awesome it would be to be able to encourage that sort of thinking.

When I was a child we would learn
how to bead and sew, which helps
with our creativity. Creativity is
very important when it comes to
leadership, we have to come up
with new ways and expand our
thinking. Our traditional ways also
include storytelling, which helps
us listen and in the future, when the
time is right, we apply those stories
and teachings to our own lives
