Um, I don't think I ever recognize that there were leadership gifts. Uh, I, I mean, I, I go, I'll tell you a story from junior high school. Uh, So when I was in junior high school, middle school, my best friend was Adam. And Adam and I had a fight one day, as little kids do.

And when I got on the bus the next day to go to school, nobody would sit next to me, because Adam told them not to sit next to me. He was the leader of our gang. He was the leader of the pack. And I remember the distinct feeling that someone else was responsible for my happiness and my friendships around me. One person. And I had to make him happy, otherwise I had no friends the next day.

And it sort of, as a little kid, I was like, that's ridiculous. And at a pretty young age, I started experimenting with being my own self. And really like baby steps, right? So I went to American middle school. We wore jeans and sneakers and white socks and t-shirts to school, you know? And I remember I started wearing black shoes with white socks. Everybody else wore sneakers. I wore black shoes.

And I was just dipping my toe, right? And then by the time I got to high school, I started experimenting with brightly colored crazy socks, right? Every day I wore brightly colored crazy socks. And I sort of got more and more comfortable being me. I got more and more comfortable people making fun of me for that one thing that I was experimenting with.

And I don't think it came until many years later where some of these skills that I had learned and some of these things that I had practiced, like doing what I believe and it's okay if people didn't like me for it.

um that i learned later would help me in a leadership position because i didn't think i was ever a leader until somebody said oh this person now reports to you you know i'm like oh i'm a leader now and i made every mistake that you can make as a first-time leader so i i don't think i've ever seen myself that way and i and i think i've only started to see myself that way very recently hmm

I just sort of see myself as one of the group. But I've come to learn that, yes, I'm a leader.
