Leadership Profile: Kimberly Nojima
Kimberly Nojima
Culver City HS Senior - CPY (Youth & Government Student Leader)
How has Youth & Government affected you as a leader?
CPY has definitely given me more confidence in public speaking, especially when I have minimal time to prepare what I want to say. It has also given me a better understanding of how politics works, whether it be in government, school, or in relationships to an extent. It has given me better people skills, as I get to meet new friends from across the state.
Who are some leaders who have been role models for you?
Well, you [Scott] obviously, as you gave me a lot of the advice that helped me through middle and high school. More recently, my role models have been Kevin Wong, as he has been youth directing at Westlight Church, and my Multicultural Literature and ASB Student Council teacher, Mr. Valverde, because he teaches and lives out his life with such integrity and positivity that I would also like to have in mine.
What is the best advice about being a leader that you'd like to share with everyone?
To be a leader you need to know that others are watching you. Therefore, live out your life keeping that in mind and keeping yourself in check. Granted, you will make mistakes and some bad decisions, but for the most part, live with integrity. Also, being a leader doesn't necessarily mean being loud and speaking about what you believe or what you want others to believe--its also about constant listening and action without words.

The Most Influential Leader...
For me this is something I don't think about much. I grew up not really "looking up" to anyone, but rather trying to become a better leader myself. When I do ponder this question, there are only 2 clear answers: 1) Jesus - regardless if you believe in Christianity or not, the character, influence and actions of Jesus are beyond comprehension. Instead of taking revenge, he would forgive. When he could take the credit, he deferred to his father. He tells us to love our enemies. He defied logic. What other person in history has a legacy now that is much greater than when he was on Earth? 2) My parents. I am very fortunate to have a dad and mom whom I confide it, ask for support and look to for guidance. I didn't have to search any further than my own house for someone to help me grow. That's my story, but now I want to hear yours...
