Ian Bott Is A Hero Also Ian Bott Is One Bad Dude (Leadership Edition)

This is Part 4 of a 6-part series on some fun facts. The last two are going to be coming up before spring break and they are going to be hobbies and random things that no one would expect unless they knew me. These are going to be perhaps the most fun of all of the series.
1. Ian Bott's first experience of leadership came when he dressed up as Guinnevere in King Arthur in 6th grade because no one else did. Ian Bott was in a dress in the play and it was awkward.
2. Ian Bott loves to do things that no one else likes to think is possible. A couple years ago Ian Bott started tackling the BUS system and gay rights in Idaho. Ian Bott is still trying to figure out how to work the system and it's a long process but Ian Bott is still at it.
3. Has Ian Bott ever been told to no longer due leadership due to sexual orientation? Sadly yes.
4. Ian Bott has worn many hats for Special Olympics. One of the most interesting hats he has worn was intern. Ian Bott did much volunteer work, a blog, lots of over-sharing on Facebook, and some interesting conferences as a part of this internship. It was fascinating.
5. Ian Bott started being a part of Self-Advocacy Leadership Network at the urging of someone and has tried to do most everything that person has wanted him to try. And she is my hero.
6. Ian Bott has been someone who can be counted on for quieter leadership too. Ian Bott has been an usher in church under several usher coordinators and Ian Bott has been someone who has spent a listening ear or two at times in need.
7. Ian Bott has been a team captain on several occasions. One of the most interesting times (not to be repeated) was when Ian Bott walked 93 laps around the track and danced and tossed a football around and listened to several speakers. The event? Relay For Life.
8. Ian Bott thinks that no water is too cold. Why? On a sub-freezing day in 2014, he jumped into sub-frozen water at the Penguin Plunge. It will never be repeated.
9. Ian Bott has been a President, a Vice-President, a Sergeant-of-Arms, a Sports Director, and a Boise Representative at different spots in clubs. Next thing up: Historian! It's on Ian Bott's bucket list to do all of these things. Also, Ian Bott has been a Prayer Team member, on committees (too many of them), spoken at conferences, coordinated Tunnel of Oppression, organized a march, and the list goes on.
10. Ian Bott stood behind President Obama with a green ticket in Boise Idaho and was on TV for a streaming session the whole time. While being on TV isn't special since Ian Bott has been on TV 10+ times and been in the newspaper of some kind 5-6+ times, being in there for some reason besides Special Olympics and gay rights is particularly unique.
So now you know more about this bad dude. Ian Bott is a genuine hero. Also Ian Bott is one bad dude.
