 Intro Essay Name of the Writer Name of the Institute “I am leader I wanted to follow” Since childhood, I had craze to do something different than others and gain an extremely powerful position early in my life. I have dealt with serious crises when I was 12 years old. From my elementary school to college, my mother reminded me of my worth and supported the decisions that I made. Since that time I had created a vision to get out of every situation. I was courageous and not afraid to take the challenges to make things better. Rather to choose a person as an inspiration, I worked on my personal growth. I thought deeper to exercise my full potential and wisdom. The journey began when I started matriculation, I knew that marks of matriculation worth throughout my life career. I was emotionally intelligent by birth.
