directed to leadership. Influences people by providing
purpose, direction, and motivation while trying to
accomplish a mission.

is difficult to accomplish due to physical responsibilities, as well
as age barriers, subcultures, and educational levels.

specific parts that we each solely performed. It was a 100% group
effort.
