My name is Leah Richardson. I am 16 years old and I am originally from New Jersey but in 2006 my family moved to Charlotte, NC. I am an only child which has some positives and some negatives. I attend South Mecklenburg High School. I speak two languages ( English and Spanish ) and I'm working on learning German. My dream job is to be a lawyer and a successful business woman when I am older.

From the age of five I went to a school called Collinswood Language Academy. This school is in the magnet program so you were with the same people from Kindergarten to eighth grade. This experience was amazing. There wasn't any major problems and drama in that school. All you got from that school was good education, amazing opportunities, and friendships that will last a lifetime.

I attend South Mecklenburg High School. When I first got there I realized that this school was 10x bigger than the school that I had known my whole life. It was scary at first but now it is a breeze. So far my experience with the school is great. I can't speak for others on how they feel about the school but it opens your mind up to who people really are and you find yourself in a matter of months.

I have a huge fear of every kind of bug. No matter what it is dead or alive I am very scared of insects. I have others fears such as heights, pitch black places. and etc. but none of them are as bad as insects are to me.

Leadership doesn't just mean being at the top of a company or the top of the group. Leadership is like a soup. It has many components when mixed together is a tasty blend for the satisfaction of others and yourself. In order to be a leader you need to put your self aside and see what is best for the group.

One thing on my bucket list that I would love to achieve is swimming with sharks. I know that it seems crazy but one time I swam with dolphins and I decided that I liked doing things that involved swimming and animals and then I decided that swimming with sharks is the next best thing. I obviously won't be doing it anytime soon but I will one day. I HOPE :)
