How Positive Leadershipand Negative Life Changing Experiences Have Impacted My Life

... showed me through my moms near death pregnancy how to be a respectful man towards others and take responsibility by taking care of our family. When he gave my family and I his constant love and attention, my dad showed me how to be a loving father. Since my mother was sick, no one was around to cook every night or to clean the house. By my father constantly taking over these extra needs, I saw how to be a responsible man. To be a man and a father means doing everything in your will to protect and provide for your family. He changed my little brothers diapers, fed him, bathed him, and put him to sleep all while my mom was in the hospital. Also, my middle school teacher, Coach Kevin Roach, showed me how to stay positive through his fight with bone cancer. By having a positive outlook on what looked like certain death, he took the advantage of teaching not only me but also the class a life lesson, which was to smile in the face of death. He taught me that I could not be afraid of death rather, I have to embrace it when it comes. He showed his positive outlook when he showed up to class in poor health and still taught the lesson with enthusiasm. Through this positive outlook, I learned how to helps other in difficult situations.Many qualities of leaders, such as integrity, help people impact others through their leadership. They show how to act in the face of conflict. Leaders illustrate important qualities to the ones they impact through their noble acts. By standing up for what he or she believes in, that leader passes on those important qualities to others. Historical and personal role models impacted me through their leadership.
