Leadership event

One event in my life that had a significant effect on me took place one day at musical practice. I was nervous for my audition and was in a bad mood so I remember complaining about another girl. Shortly thereafter I heard the freshman next to me say something rude about the same girl and swear about her. I, being the upperclassmen that I was, explained to the girl that it was not good to say that and she should try to be more respectful. She went on to apologize and state that she only did it because I had and she swore because she thought I would think she was cool. I was discouraged, but while this scenario was unfortunate, it was a good eye-opener for me. I realized that since I am a Christian I represent Christ wherever I go. I want to live for him but that requires that I be a good example at all times. People will always look up to us and watch our actions, so God is teaching me that I need to always be honoring him in the things I do and say.
