Spider-Man Reminds Me That True Leadership Looks A Lot Like Responsibility

Being a hero means being responsible.

Spider-Man Reminds Me That True Leadership Looks A Lot Like Responsibility

"With great power comes great responsibility."

Power is something we should all be very careful handling. We must do our best to leave a meaningful legacy behind when we attain power.

Spider-Man reminds me that heroes use their powers responsibly. Being a hero is a lot of responsibility and anyone willing to take on that responsibility is considered a good person. Peter Parker is the best example of serving others and not expecting to be served. A lot of times, in the movies and in video games, the people stand up for Spider-Man by even willing to keep his identity a secret. With Spider-Man and the influence this created character has on the world, I expect a better future. I expect a future where we all use our power responsibly and voluntarily help each other when we can.

I find Spider-Man to be the most caring superhero there is.

The fact that Spider-Man does not purposely kill people says a lot about him. In my opinion, every person in the world is special in their own way. Whether or not we realize it, every one of us has a supporter somewhere. It can be an indirect supporter from one's past family or even the people in the present. Because we all have at least one supporter, we are all leaders. Therefore, if Spider-Man would kill, he would leave a legacy of hatred from whoever supported or even loved that person, resulting in a circle of vengeance.

Being a hero means being responsible.

Aside from fictional powers, regular power comes from autonomy, support, and resources. Most of us have autonomy and support. Others have more resources than others. When attaining power, a lot of us should look for serving the community and not being served. Spider-Man does not have everything and he is doing his best to do humble work. He has the knowledge, the right words, and he takes action. Therefore, knowledge plus words plus actions equals empowerment. Knowledge is the foundation. Words are the structure. Action is the effort. Knowledge by itself is nothing. Sometimes we need a maxim (a philosophy we choose to live by). Spider-Man is the best role model for being responsible. He also is a reminder that a fight cannot always be stopped by fighting head-on, but by being clever.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
