I lead. And I like it. I feel good leading, dictating orders and so forth. And I'm good at it. We are talking on professional terms, of course; I'm not that much of a sadist ^^;. I have been worried of late about the fact that when I get a job, I will be working under a boss and so forth, and that made me feel uneasy. However, from my experience with the newspaper, I have discovered that I can easily get to the top, and that is where I really need to be. I remember when I was just a piddly little supporting writer, and now I am managing editor. In terms of position, I can't get any higher. If my career works out the same way that this is working out now, I've nothing to worry about.

Today I especially noticed that the others need to be led, that they can't do things themselves. "Greg, Ryan, Kelly, Max, is everything on your pages written on the dry-erase board?" No. They go over and do it. "Guys, are you writing the files you use on the chart?" No. They get up and go do it. "Did everyone print out their pages?" No. They do so. I edit images for everyone, I tell them what to do layout-wise if they are having trouble. I feel superior in a sense, though not negatively. I want to help people learn these things, too, and they gradually catch on, but much slower that I do.

I'll rise to the top, I know it.
