        <p>Is right to think a leader is wrong(but still respect them)? What if leaders disappoint you? What if Leaders break the same rules that you are following? What if you think a leader is on a power trip?</p>
<p>Don&#39;t get me wrong I love my leaders but I&#39;ve realized that they are very human and are still learning. I can&#39;t say shut up because it&#39;s not nice, though a leader says it all the time....I could be mad, really mad actually but I chose to better myself instead. Leaders have broken rules in my life and I&#39;ve seen them do some stupid things.....But they still impacted my life in some way. I&#39;m not even talking about MC life, it&#39;s real life.....everyday life in the real world. </p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>It&#39;s the end of the year and the first years are talking about being leaders and it&#39;s cool....blah blah blah but&#160;it&#39;s not all about power and leading the first years.....who cares!!!! I just want&#160;everyone&#160;on the team to enjoy their year. I want it&#160;to be great!&#160;and if that means scrubbing the floors for hours, having classes, whatever! I&#39;ll do it....my heart is for the people coming in, I love them and I want them to have a great year....(please&#160;my heart on this, I just want the TEAM the FAMILY to be well.) </p>
<p>I declare a great year with a year of singleness and enjoying it, no emo relationships!(sorry Sharayah...just kidding) well that&#39;s it now....&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>   <p style="clear:both;">

True, he was not a born Irish.<br />But he has become an integral part of the Irish heritage, mostly through<br />his service across <a class="kLink" href="http://www.theholidayspot.com/patrick/historyofpatrick.htm#" id="KonaLink2" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" target="_new"><span style="color: blue; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: static"><span class="kLink" style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Ireland</span></span></a> of the 5th century.</p><p>Patrick was born in the later half of the 4th century AD.<br />There are differing views about the exact year and place of his birth.<br />According to one school of <a class="kLink" href="http://www.theholidayspot.com/patrick/historyofpatrick.htm#" id="KonaLink3" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" target="_new"><span style="color: blue; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: static"><span class="kLink" style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">opinion</span></span></a>, he was born about 390 A.D.,<br />while the other school says it is about 373 AD.

However, one day<br />a band of pirates landed in south Wales and kidnapped this boy<br />along with many others. Then they sold him into slavery in Ireland.<br />The was there for 6 years, mostly imprisoned.<br />This was when changes came to him. He dreamed of having seen God.<br />Legend says, he was then dictated by God to escape with a <a class="kLink" href="http://www.theholidayspot.com/patrick/historyofpatrick.htm#" id="KonaLink5" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" target="_new"><span style="color: blue; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: static"><span class="kLink" style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">getaway</span></span></a> ship.</p><p>Finally, he did escape and went to Britain. And then to France.<br />There he joined a monastery and studied under St. Germain,<br />the bishop of Auxerre. He spent around 12 years in training.<br />And when he became a bishop he dreamed that the Irish were calling him<br />back to Ireland to tell them about God.<br />The Confessio, Patrick&#39;s <a class="kLink" href="http://www.theholidayspot.com/patrick/historyofpatrick.htm#" id="KonaLink6" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" target="_new"><span style="color: blue; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: static"><span class="kLink" style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; BORDER-BOTTOM: blue 1px solid; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">spiritual</span></span></a> autobiography, is the most important<br />document regarding this. It tells of a dream after his return to Britain,<br />in which one Victoricus delivered him a letter headed &quot;The Voice of the Irish.&quot;</p>

There he converted<br />the Gaelic Irish, who were then mostly Pagans, to Christianity. He was<br />confident in the Lord, he journeyed far and wide, baptizing and confirming<br />with untiring zeal. And, in a diplomatic fashion he brought gifts to<br />a kinglet here and a lawgiver there,but accepted none from any.</p><p>Indeed, Patrick was quite successful at winning converts.<br />Through active preaching, he made important converts even<br />among the royal families. And this fact upset the <a class="kLink" href="http://www.theholidayspot.com/patrick/historyofpatrick.htm#" id="KonaLink8" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" target="_new"><span style="color: blue; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: static"><span class="kLink" style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Celtic</span></span></a> Druids.<br />Patrick was arrested several times,but escaped each time.<br />For 20 years he had traveled throughout Ireland,<br />establishing monasteries across the country.<br />He also set up schools and churches<br />which would aid him in his conversion.<br />He developed a native clergy,<br />fostered the growth of monasticism,<br />established dioceses, and held church councils</p>
