Leaders into action!

The University of Texas has contributed many achievements throughout many years. It brought many academically achievers into society, that not only has it influenced the professors but to the students as well. As time goes by, the University sets higher standards for students not only to try their best but to over achieve and make things better. For example, when Denton A. Cooley was a student in UT the requirements for an English class was "approximately eight essays during the first semester" (897). I like the fact that UT has so much to offer from organizations to other programs that are life learning. For example, to be a leader it takes the courage to start something new or do things no one will do at first. To take action and the initiative to set a vision of values and a set of experience can be some of the qualities someone can do to help and support people to have the inspiration to be someone. Like Denton says, "the student programs at The University of Texas are highly successful in providing a broad educational experience and installing self-confidence in the graduates" (898).

Even till today, there are great professors around campus that are very talented and helpful that will dedicate their time just to help.They are leaders. They are the guidance to our lives in the teaching and learning world. They help shape students by sharing what they know such as how Margaret Cousins says about her professors. Everyone can be a leader but it takes knowledge and experiential learning. Another example of a leader is Red McCombs. McCombs as an entrepreneur, shares his experience and his ability of his self awareness to the world. McCombs idea of becoming a leader is to help out the community by interacting through communication because he says, "No one person has a lock on the right way or only way of doing things." (937). Even today, there are great UT alumni  that come back to give back to the community. Especially, when the TexesExes Organization makes that happen. After reading through all the articles of the leaders that have stepped in UT, it builds my confidence knowing that everyone struggled at some point but at the end if you dedicate your time to studying, knowing professors, and managing your time you will reach your goals in life.
