Leadership Examples

"They wanted an education.The University wanted to get rid of the deadbeats. Competition became tough" (pg901) is something I personally can relate too when I was reading about Tom Jones. Just like me, he was also a slacker even though I did't do some of the crazy things he did but I did got a lazy in high school and now a part of that is still here with me now in college. I am trying to find the spark in my college life where it can lead me to finally get serious about being at this university. Its true that competition here is tough. Majority of my friends are taking college really seriously unlike me. Luckily for Jones he has found a motivation for him to do his best and reach his potential at UT. Now as i read his life I too am trying to find this motivation where I can be just as serious as he is

"His health collapsed. His marriage fell apart. He failed courses and eventually dropped out of school. But Herman Sweatt had accomplished what he set out to do. His legal justic and equal opportunity to his home state's flagship university"(pg 949). As I read this I was shock in amazement as too what Sweatt had to go through but as I read on I was even more amaze that everything he did, no matter the good and bad that happen, ended up making his goal come true. I believed every body should have a goal that they can strive for just like him. I'm not saying that you have to pick a goal where you might lose everything just to reach it but I am saying is that you should have a mind set to accomplish something that is worth getting. I have lots of goals in my life and some i manage to achieved while others ended in failure. Goals are something great to have and when you reach those goals its just feels great. Point of the story is that nothing is impossible with right mind set. As long as you try and have determination you might end up making history like Sweatt did when he integrated the University of Texas.
