My Leadership Role!

        Honestly, this is a very exciting class. From the first day of class, I learned to break my fear and get to be more confident in myself which is the most important thing to be a successful leader. I fear to stand up to do anything in a crowd, and I fear that I might fail to do anything.

        Yes, I feared to be the first person to come up and break the fear board. Inside me, I always remember a quote from a very successful leader in Amway Vietnam: "To be a successful leader, you need to get out of your comfort zone". I did sometimes, and I succeeded in my career. Then, I came to BYU and couldn't reach my goal in education for the first semester. I also lost my confidence from that time. 

        I know for myself: I need to get my confidence back! What do I need to do? I want to do something for people around me! I tried, tried, and tried! I got involved in the BYUVSA club with a lot of other clubs. I found a great leader in BYUVSA. I talked to her and learned so much from her. She just left BYU last month to come back to Vietnam. I really want to run for the President of VSA club, so I can devote more for my society. I want to make BYUVSA a better club to join in, and more popular not only to BYU students but also to everyone. Ghandi has said: "We must be the CHANGE we wish to see in the world". So I chose to be a CHANGE as a President of BYUVSA club.
       So what is your definition for successful leader? From my perspective, leadership is how to serve people around you successfully. And yes, leader will always the first person to stand up. That is my view about leadership. How about yours?
