Chicago
I will always consider Chicago my home. This is where I grew up. Chicago itself is a leader to me. I would see the professionals as they would walk to work downtown, and that would motivate me to work harder.

Chicago made me feel like I was contributing to something bigger, and is one of the biggest leaders in my perception. -
