I have gone on several Global Explorers trips now. I have been to Peru twice, once to the Andes and once to the Amazon rainforest. Through these trips I have found a new love, international traveling. I love to travel to different places, and with the help of Global Explorers this was made possible. I took probably the most amazing trip of my life in the summer of 2006 in Leading the Way ’06 with other sighted students along with blind and visually impaired students from across the United States. We are now planning another trip next summer to Mount Kilimanjaro. For details on our group check out our website: http://blindclimbers.50megs.com
With soccer now being over I have moved into working at my job more. I work at a SuperTarget near my house. I split time on the sales floor between the grocery side and the Electronics/Toys side. I also love hanging out with friends, playing video games (Playstation 3), and playing a game of football, basketball, or whatever sport I’m in the mood for.
Being a good leader means that you lead by example and a few words, rather than ordering people around. I try not to lead with my mouth, but rather with my actions. If you�re a good leader, you should be loved by everyone you�re leading. As William Arthur Wood once said, �Leadership is based on inspiration, not domination; on cooperation, not intimidation.�
