I don’t consider myself a follower. I like to think that I am a leader. When I was in college I was on our Student Senate for four years and held numerous positions, ending in my senior year as President. I was the student speaker at my graduation but I like being in the shadows. I know this must sound odd to you and it is. I am not a follower but I don’t like being in the spot light either. I love doing things and being a great leader but I don’t like a shinning spotlight on me for doing what I do. Really odd considering that I have this blog and its all me, all the time.
When I was in college former President William H. Clinton visited our college for a democratic party rally. He was speaking on behalf of the Democratic candidate in our state running for Governor. My adviser called me in her office and asked me to read the introductory speech for the former president. I was so excited I started writing my speech right away. Within an hour I was in her office asking about how many people would be there. Once I realized how many people would be attending live and then the thousands that would be watching on television and online I got scared and changed my mind. Now I think its a fear of being embarrassed that keeps me in the shadows and never in the spotlight. I got to briefly meet the former president that day but I could have been in a bigger spotlight.
Are you someone who likes to be in the spotlight? Or do you like shadows?
