Picking Leaders

Last Wednesday Dr. Feinberg asked those that wanted to be group leaders to come to the front of the room. I did not go. To be honest (even though I know Feinberg doesn't believe in "excuses"), I didn't go because I was scared and I truly don't think I could have handled it. Since then, Dr. Feinberg has constantly asked why we wouldn't want to be extraordinary and tried to make us feel awful. It worked....for a while. The other day I started to think about it and I just got angry. I have been battling some things ( that I don't really want to go into) but last semester I started to get help. This semester it is better, but I feel I have to focus on that and not on being a group leader. I don't think I could have handled it. I don't think this makes me anything but extraordinary. I am taking charge of my life to be happy and to have better relationships. I also knew my boundaries. These are two qualities are things I would look for in a leader. So looking at it now, I'm proud of myself. I chose to be a leader the day I chose not to be a group leader.
