Great leaders are made, not born. This is particularly true with a story of a young man who became an unexpected leader. This young man says that he originally joined the cross country team as nothing more than a means to stay in shape during the off season of wrestling. What would happen though was that the boy's talent would shine through. This coupled with his drive, dedication, and unwavering appetite for friendly competition, made him an easy pick for captain of the Centenary College men's Cross Country team. Early in life, the boy had demonstrated a capacity for excellence, as well as a general amiability that would eventually make him a natural leader and mentor to many of his peers. He said the appointment to the position was somewhat of a shock, but he adapted, and soon treasured the leadership experience he would gain. He said being a part of a team with one common interest is a great experience, and necessary for the individual social growth of a person. His time with the Centenary College's Cross Country team taught him many things. He continued to excel during his time with the cross country team, being recognized among the elite few on the team with the highest GPA. Leading his team to victory was a rewarding experience, says the boy, and he continues to draw on the old memories for experience in his new pursuits in his career field.
