When I realized I became a leader


Growing up in the city of Detroit is rough and a lot of people do not know what they actually want to do in their lives living in bad environments where violence is occuring everyday. The only way to make it out of the hood is with determination and continuously hard work. I’ve grown up on the east side and west side of Detroit and experience a lot of positive and negative things. As I learned a lot from being around the different situations that I was in I developed leadership skills that would make me a influential person to other people coming after me. I once was a follower who tried to do the same things that others did because I though it was cool, but once I realized that I can be successful following my own passions I was able to be a leader of my own destiny.
