" It&amp;#039;s no secret that Kendall Jenner has some pretty big shoes to fill...three pairs of &amp;#039;em! But trust us \u2014 she&amp;#039;s doing just fine making a name for herself as a style icon with a heart of gold. Kendall sat down with Seventeen to talk all about being a leader, working out, and dressing up! Seventeen: Why is volunteering so important to you? Kendall Jenner: I think it&amp;#039;s important that cheerleaders really get out there and be the leaders of their community because they are leaders on the field. I volunteered at Meals on Wheels, which is a place where you go and deliver healthy meals to people who are more homebound. I did that, and I had so much fun doing it, and I&amp;#039;m definitely planning on doing it again.  17:  Did you learn anything from the experience? Do you feel like you&amp;#039;ve changed at all by it?  KJ: Yeah, I definitely think it&amp;#039;s a little life-changing, just because you see these people that really can&amp;#039;t go out and do things themselves anymore. It&amp;#039;s nice to be able to help them.  17: Tell me what you love about cheerleading?  KJ: I just love the energy of it. I love being able to go out to the football games and the basketball games and cheer for my stellar classmates. I love spending time with my friends on the cheerleading squad. It&amp;#039;s really fun.  17: That&amp;#039;s awesome. So what else do you do to stay in shape?  KJ: We do a lot of stuff at cheer to get us in shape, but when I&amp;#039;m home, I always go on runs and I take my dog with me.  17:  Do you work with a trainer as well?  KJ:  I don&amp;#039;t work with a trainer. I just go to cheerleading practice and run a couple times a week.  17:  Who&amp;#039;s your style icon?  KJ:  My style icon actually is my three sisters. I love the way they dress and the way they put things together. I definitely get most of my style from them.  17: Is there one way specifically that they have inspired you?  KJ: Well, Kourtney&amp;#039;s not afraid to wear what most people wouldn&amp;#039;t wear. I like that about her style. Sometimes I do that, too.  17:  Do you have a recent example of trying an outfit that was a little more daring?  KJ:  At the Glee premiere, a lot of people wouldn&amp;#039;t have worn those wings with that dress, but I was just like, &amp;quot;Whatever. I like it. I&amp;#039;ll wear it.&amp;quot;  17: How would you describe your personal style?  KJ: I guess my style&amp;#039;s a little edgy, but comfortable. I like being comfortable, for sure, and kind of casual.  17: Do you have a back-to-school outfit picked out yet?  KJ: Yeah, I think I&amp;#039;m just going to wear jeans, boots, and this striped black and white shirt that I got from the mall.  17: Are you a big accessories girl or do you like to keep it simple?  KJ: Not at all. I never wear accessories unless my sisters take them and put them on me!  17: What&amp;#039;s an easy way you like to add a little edge to your look?  KJ: I like boots, leather jackets, sometimes a head piece, like a band or like a feather. Something cool.  17: Do you have a go-to pair of boots that you really love?  KJ: Yeah, these knee-high leather and patent boots that my mom got me in Capri. I&amp;#039;m obsessed with them. I have them in brown and black, and they&amp;#039;re so cute!  17: What&amp;#039;s your one piece of advice as far as girls who want to volunteer and join up with the full movement of National Team School Spirit Week? What would you recommend?  KJ: They can go to nationalschoolspiritday.org, to get more information about getting involved. Or, they can go to the Facebook page, National School Spirit Day, which also has more information and stories about cheerleaders doing stuff like I did. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
