I AM A LEADER

Leadership. Yes, you heard it right. What comes first in your mind when you hear

this word? Yes, of course, an action of leading, the one who is in incharge,

management of a group or society or organization is leading or leadership. Everyone

must have been a leader once, twice or always in your life. It doesn’t matter if it was

a small group or a big organization. What matters here is you have been getting a

chance to be a leader. I personally think that people can lead groups or society in

their own different ways.

I love to be a leader. It’s just like being a boss of a group of people. No! Bossing

people does not mean you are a leader. The meaning of leadership is setting and

achieving goals, tackling the competition and solving problems decisively and

quickly. If anyone says, on your face, that you aren’t a good leader, you ought not to

give up. You are going to improve your qualities.

I have thrice in my life been a leader. Once of 5, second of 7 and the last time of 15

pupils in a group. I am still trying to improve leadership qualities. The first time when

I was a leader in my learning program, my qualities were perfect for grade one. I was

pleasant, polite, punctual as well as strict. We succeeded with our cooperation. I

thought that I was perfect but I was wrong.

The second time I got selected for being a leader I had an awful experience. It was

like from where I got selected. I couldn’t tackle the problems. I was sad. The

qualities of leadership seemed childish to me. I accidently overheard one of the

members from my group telling another member that he is unlucky to be in this

group. But still I didn’t give up.

The third time I became a successful leader. It was very great. I had successfully

improved myself. I understood the meaning of leadership. I thought that I was

perfect again. I could solve problems, I could overcome the mistakes. If I did, I

would be able to tackle the competition. The first time I understood what

leadership is. I did it.

Never give up working on your unique qualities. Not even if you are upset with

yourself. You are never perfect but try your best.
