Interview

Typically when we think of someone who we view as a good leader our thoughts are drawn to those heroic leaders of our society such as Presidents, government officials, party organizers, service groups, educational instructors, and other position holding individuals.
Although these are all very important and often good leadership roles, as I thought about someone who I view to be a good leader I immediantly thought of both of my parents, and in particular my mom.
She plays one of the most important leadership roles anyone on the face of this earth could do, that is by being a mother and leading out through her example and love in the home, alongside my father.
Some of the qualities she has that make her a good leader is firstly, that she is FULL of Love! The whole world could turn their back on me and yet I'd always know that she would be there for me. Also she is compassionate. I make mistakes, as does everyone who is human, yet she has the ability to look past my weaknesses and help me to realize my strengths. Another leadership quality she has is that she is selfless. She is constantly sacrificing her own time for her family by doing such things as cooking dinner, cleaning the house, helping with homework, working as a full-time no pay limo driver, and much much more.
She is an influence for good in all of these ways. Through her awesome example, she effects me and my siblings to try and do what she teaches us. We want to be better because she wants us to be better and we sincerely feel that. Also we love her, so to show her that we appreciate her, we work hard to follow her example and do what is right.
I can learn so much from her in my leadership roles. Not only in the different accademic and social roles that I've had/have/will have, but also in my role someday as a mother. I hope to apply her qualities in all aspects of my life, but most importantly in my future role as a mother. If I can be even half as awesome as she is at being a mom, best friend, and leader to my children, then I am in good shape! I'm so grateful for her and her example as a good leader.
