There is no I in team

Julius Caesar, not afraid of taking charge, shows how one person can impact a whole range of people. Caesar takes a challange and finishes the job. The thoughts of people on the other hand can not be changed. Do I have to much power? Are my people scared of what I might do? Making a dramatic change in a place can cause these types of questions to appear. To be a leader, Caesar knew the tasks ahead and what needed to be accomplished before other dictators came into play. When Julius Caesar ruled he was a great ruler. He won many battles and defeated many, but did he end up becoming to powerful? As the story goes, Caesar dies tragically because of his people thinking that he has obtained to much power, and Caesar may destroy the wrong atributes of the way of their life. Being a leader takes courage and dignity. One person has to stand up and show everyone else what can be done by a single person and if everyone helps then so much morecan be accomplished. I had to stand up and say that I could become a leader for Batesville High School's FCA program. Three other classmates had been chosen as well to recieve the oppurtunity of going to a camp to learn how to be a better leader. Seeing how different people can impact souls in the same way will blow the mind. Feeling the task done before me showed how putting myself out there and applying myself makes me feel like a better person in many ways. For Caesar to stand up to everyone and give all that he could makes me view everything in a more caring way.

Yes, the end is better

Beginning with the end in mind is something we all do. This beginning can be as simple as reading the directions or making an outline. Anyone who is struggling really needs to think about the end. Not the end of the day, but the very end of life when nothing else could be better. The end is when I see myself where I want to be, who I want to be with, and knowing that one day all of the pain joy and past will lead up to that moment is an amazing feeling.

When at anytime my life is not going where it should be going, I have to refocus and imagine the end. The end, one that will come soon, is a great place to look forward to. Looking ahead lifts me from my times of confusion and shows me that the end will lead me to whatever I want it to turn out to be. Knowing that I will always have someting to look forward to and to have my family there makes anyting and everything worth the time.

Looking past tomorrow, the next week, and the next century can light up my day. Now is the time to take control and plan my future, but knowing how I want the end to ook is what helps me make my decisions now.

One moment could change forever

Going through high school could potentially be the best or worst time of my life. The outcome of this decision is entirely rested upon my own shoulders. My decisions, the ones that will impact me forever, are happening now. To make going through high school easier, I have to realize who my friends are and who they are not. The feeling of having friends there fro me is wonderful and I love them to death, but I also have to realize I can not rely on them for everything. The book Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens, one to refer to for anything, talks about teenagers can not be friend centered. The day I graduate may be the last time I see faces that I could never imagine being without. I need balance in my life. This balance come from equaling everything out such as: parents, school, work, boys, and sports. Balancing my decisions will help me get my priorities straight and make the time at high school one to last a lifetime.
