a way especially by going in advance, is an important skill for success.
Several students from the Dayton area are learning just that, how to
lead. Gathering from 15 local
schools, these high school juniors gain knowledge on character, leadership,
and their community. "Good leaders
make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the
periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success
of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives
their work meaning." (Warren
G. Bennis) "Character
cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and
suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success
achieved." (Helen Keller) “I remember that one
fateful day when Coach took me aside, I knew what was coming. ‘You don’t
have to tell me,’ I said. ‘I’m off the team, aren’t I?’ ‘Well,’ said Coach,
‘you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you’re wearing
out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up
at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it
back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times.’ It was all true
what he was saying. And thought something was brewing inside the head of
this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
mold. But that’s when I felt the handcuffs go on. “
