the interview

Define Leader?

A leader is a solicitous and reliable person who aids in the organization of something.

Where do you draw your inspiration?
I draw my inspiration from my considerate spirit, observing my role models and desire to help others.

What inspired you to be a leader?
Becoming Student Council President at Robert Goddard French Immersion allowed me to discover that I have a large voice and I must use this blessing to speak for others, advocating for them. That is what inspired me to be a leader.

What do you think is the most important tool for a student leader?  
Personally, I believe that the most important tool for a student leader is the drive and desire to improve persistently.

What advice do you have for someone that wants to be a student leader?
If I were to counsel someone who aspires to be a student leader, I would advise them to always be aware of their activities and to plan accordingly in order to balance themselves to excel in all of their activities.

What is an interesting fact about you?
Something interesting about me is that I am in love with the film, Titanic. Also, in my free time, I enjoy writing narratives. I have been writing since the humble age of 8 and to this day, I still have a few of my very first stories. I aspire to one day publish an extremely popular novel.

Where are you from / Where do you live?
I am from Ghana, West Africa, but I live in Lanham, Maryland.

Who is your favorite leader?
I would have to say that my favorite leaders are Shaunakay Stewart and Christina Oyawale. I say this because not only are they strong and active voices of Parkdale’s SGA but they both manage their sports and other extra curricular activities while sustaining an exceptional GPA.

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
5 years from now, I see myself as a junior at my preferable university on a full scholarship meanwhile speaking the word of God to young people and putting my blessings to good use in my community.
