What do you see in a leader?

Qualities of a good leader for me are: a leader needs to be honest, they need to be a good listener, a good participant in a group, a good public speaker who speaks from the heart, is clear about why they made a certain decision, and being able to compromise. 

"Friendship Doubles Joy And Halves Grief"

This proverb is very true in my life. I have a strong friendship  with one of the guys I met at CLI. My friendship with him has definetly doubled my joy in the sense that I have never had a friend like him before. Also, being friends with him has cut my grief in half, in the sense that I have been a person with dangerously low self-confidence as well as a low self-esteem and he has made me feel a whole lot better about myself. I could also see us being friends for the rest of our lives because the bond between us is so strong not to mention that we talk for at least an hour everyday.

What Relative Am I Most Like

I am the spitting image of my dad. I am the most like my late Grandfather, in which we have a great love for stories, for history and especially our family history, a greta attachment to our family, and a passion for our family's Catholic faith. Most of my physical features are from my paternal side of the family, but I get my eyes from my maternal grandfather.

What does family mean to me

Family means people who you are surrounded by that will love you no matter what happens.
