Please rest assured that I will always act responsibly and take everything seriously. Finally, I believe I’m a strong candidate because I understand that being a leader means leading by demonstrating the right way to do things. I also think that we should showcase our actions to help inspire others to do the same. I want to lead others with compassion instead of authority.
