Wait..Am I A Leader?

Given two choices leader or follower, I believe I fall into the second category. I am thinking back on my life trying to think of times when I have been in a "leadership" role. Was it in high school when I ran for class officer. Doubtful because I only did it because my friends were running for other positions. And no one ran against me. I was a shoe in. Was it when I moved to Vermont to become a ski instructor? Doubtful, I think I was just running away from a stupid boyfriend. Perhaps when I convinced my roomate from Vermont to move across the country to Utah with me to work for the 2002 Olympics. Again nope. I already had a friend out there, so it was easy. Then I was thinking hey, I was a ski instructor for 8 years, totally a leadership position. But really I did it for the paycheck and the free skiing. Totally selfish reasons. Then in college I joked that we should start a hydrology club for all the students that were in the degree program. It was a joke. Even though we actually formed a club, I think it was really just a way for people to network and catch up. My teacher/boss took over as the "leader" as she could get funding from the school. I probably could have asked for funding from the school, but it was just easier to let someone else take charge and do it. Now I am in a grad program where one of the words in the degree is "Leadership". I believe this will be my hardest challenge. Believing that I have the qualities to be a leader. And that I can find something that I am passionate about to actually be a leader in. This should be an interesting journey. All aboard.
