“To me a leader is someone who is responsible does good when no one is looking. Leaders are people who take education serious. Leaders do the right thing. I am a leader because I am doing great in school and I listen to my parents. I want to be a good leader for my younger siblings”- Ramona Canizales, future physician

One of the most puzzling things about this West Virginia team this season has been freshman forward Keaton Miles. A talented, highly touted recruit out of the prestigious Lincoln High School in Dallas, Miles was really the only freshman who received a lot of minutes who hadn’t started showing a lot of progress.

Greetings to each of you!

February was filled with excitement and a host of invaluable experiences as The Twelve learned about the qualities of being a leader and the importance of good leadership. There are several definitions and opinions about what it takes to become a leader; but the one that I have always embraced states that “a leader is one who understands the importance of helping another to improve.”

"Discover the leader that lives inside and become the leader you were meant to be" was the message shared by our Wednesday Mixer guest speaker Officer Michael Ervin.

We invited Officer Ervin to share with The 12 on leadership and the skills needed to be a good leader. Officer Ervin serves our community with the Dallas County Constable's Office.

With such responsibility, you could imagine Officer Ervin gave our students a great perspective on developing leadership.
