Lesson 11: Choose a leader

A person’s attributes can make him/her either popular or unpopular. Everyone’s taste is different and people don’t always get along with everyone else. Some people like to talk a lot and craves attention, while others are shy and don’t like it when people look at them, let alone when a big group is staring at them!

A good leader must have certain attributes, but we will explore these in the next lesson.

I think that Drikus is a good leader. He respects everyone and listens when someone is speaking. He is not scared of saying what is right, even if everyone does not agree. Before he decides what to do, he listens to everyone’s suggestions.

I think that Franco is a good leader. He is not lazy and is very clever. He participates in sport and has a lot of friends. Most people like Franco.

Natasha is the best! Everyone knows Natasha, and her parents do a lot for the community. Natasha’s dad repaired and painted the tennis courts at the club. Her mom is on the community’s women’s committee. I think that Natasha is a good leader.

Rico is the strongest guy in our age group. No one messes with him and he quickly deals with troublemakers. I am sure that he is the best leader I know, because he sees to it that no one fights with me or any of his friends.
