I am a ringleader

 

 

I am a ring leader

                                    

IN LIFE , WE HAVE ALL BEEN EXPOSED TO A WIDE VARIETY OF PEOPLE AND OTHER CREATURES WHO HAVE HAD BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE INFLUENCES ON US.LIONS AND TIGERS ARE THE CREATURES , I FEEL HAVE HAD AN INFLUENCE ON MY LIFE.

I LOOK AT MY LIFE AS A CIRCUS IN WHICH I AM THE RINGLEADER. I EMULATE THE GOOD AND POSITIVE IN MY WORLD. I AM THE INSTRUMENT THAT TEACHES THE LIONS, TIGERS, ELEPHANTS, HORSES, AND THE REST OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, WHAT IT TAKES TO BE IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT IN TOTAL CONTROL. I EMPHASIZE VALUABLE LESSONS THAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM  MY  PREVIOUS RINGLEADERS SUCH AS MY PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, MENTORS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND TEACHERS. THE VALUABLE LESSONS I LEARNED WERE “HOW TO TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT REGARDLESS OF RACE , BELIEF, RELIGION AND VALUES”. I’VE LEARNED TO JUDGE OTHERS BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER AND MORALS.

I HAVE SERVED ON THE YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF MIRAMAR . THROUGH THAT PROGRAM I HAD A CHANCE TO SHADOW LOCAL CITY LEADERS AND LEARN ABOUT THE MANY ISSUES AFFECTING MY COMMUNITY AND HOW YOUNGER GENERATIONS CAN STEP UP TO HELP RESOLVE THEM. I AM ALSO THE CAPTAIN OF MY COLORGUARD TEAM AT EVERGLADES HIGH SCHOOL ,IN THAT POSITION I AM THE ROLE MODEL FOR OTHER MEMBERS ON THE TECHNIQUE THAT MUST BE FOLLOW IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT PERFORMANCE .

AS  A  RINGLEADER , I AM A PERSON THAT CAN ADAPT .YES LIONS AND TIGERS ARE VERY TERRITORIAL AND ROAR TO WARN OTHERS OF THEIR OWNERSHIP.BUT NOTHING STOPS ME FROM TAKING CHARGE AND SPREADING A POSITIVE MESSAGE. I NEVER GIVE  UP .  I NEVER TURN DOWN A CHALLENGE. . I CAN MAKE LIONS WALK ON THE ROPE. I HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE ELEPHANTS SALUTE THE AUDIENCE IN A GRACEFUL  MANNER .  I AM DETERMINED TO MAKE THE SHOW A SUCCESS FOR MY AUDIENCE.  

ULTIMATELY, I AM NOT PERFECT BUT I CARRY THE VIRTUES AND QUALITIES OF A GREAT RINGLEADER THAT EVERY ANIMAL IN THE KINGDOM COULD WISH FOR. I WILL BE CONTENT TO POINT EVERYONE IN THE RIGHT  DIRECTION . I AM WELL RESPECTED BY MY PEERS. AFTER THE SHOW IS OVER THE CIRCUS STILL LIVES ON ,  EVERYONE IS LEFT WITH THE JOY OF KNOWING THAT AS THE RINGLEADER I KEPT IT TOGETHER AND DELIVERED A GREAT PERFORMANCE. EVEN WHEN ALL THE ANIMALS ARE BACK IN THEIR CAGES , LIGHTS ARE OFF , THE CROWD IS GONE, I SHINE BRIGHT KNOWING THAT I HAVE INSPIRED GOOD IN OTHERS.
