One Ingredient to Change Lives

When I asked Authur Washington, the Principal of KIPP collegiate, how many students in his school, he said, “Eight hundred and forty scholars. Eight hundred and forty beautiful souls!”

His answer set the tone for our conversation. This conversation describes the building of a great leader—a man who is sacrificing to accomplish the mission God gave him.

His objectives:

- To change the lives of the next generation.
- Educate, encourage and show them discipline and responsibility.
- Instill a spirit of hope.
- Mold them into next-generation leaders.

I learned about leadership. More importantly, I am reminded to change lives, the leader must love the people he leads.
