This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. was said during one of his many speeches. He was one of the most recognized leaders in social justice. He followed the mindset of Gandhi, this idea of a peaceful protest during a time when Malcolm X and the Black Panthers advocated rising up in arms. Though he was not the first and perhaps not the most important, his social movement sparked a spur of changes following his death.

This quote related to my leadership cause this is what I believe. When leading towards a cause, through all the prejudice or disagreement, what stands in the end is love. This can be a love for the goal or for the nation or even just love for humanity. This quote shows that rash movements are not always the way to go. The love of an idea can bring forth more change then guns ever will.

I though that cartoon was clever. But it also portrays an important subject: social justice. Social justice revolves around the idea of equality and understanding of the values of everyone. It is solidarity between all groups of people. The idea of social justice stems from, obviously, oppression. Social justice is essential in order for the world to get along. During trying times, equality among all reduces the amount of discrimination and promotes society working as a whole towards a higher goal.

I thought the Servant Leadership workshop was very informative to say the least. Prior to this, I would have had no idea of what that phrase even meant. I thought our speaker was very informative and his approach to teaching was very engaging and allowed for me to fully submerge into the idea.

In regards to servant leadership, I believe I possess: listening, empathy, awareness, conceptualization, commitment to the growth and people, and building community. This is just from the list that I received from the workshop. I believe that though I possess these traits, I should still work on them further to develop myself as a leader and as a person. There is never a point when a person is perfect, but we should always strive for perfection. Contradictory but true. Traits in which I plan to obtain were persuasion and foresight. These traits are very essential in being a servant leader. To convince people to do something allows them the choice to not do it unlike through mere power. This is important because a servant leader puts the people first, allowing for them to take priority. The other, foresight, is essential because it allows for me to learn from my mistakes instead of just throwing myself a "pity party". Learning from errors can help aid in situations in the future.

My dream job. That would to become a neurosurgeon far far in the future. Through this career path, I will merely be servicing the people. This is my ideal job because of my love of biology nurtured by my caring personality. I will aid people from illness and put delicate care to each patient.

It's Superbowl so got to end this with a bang!
