#3 A leader is someone who likes to be in control of a situation. Someone who enjoys helping people in need and doesn’t expect things in return. This is a person who goes out of their way to make someone else’s life a little easier. A person who can take charge and get things done efficiently. Someone who is inclusive to every one willing to help. Someone who is not afraid to ask for help or ask for the things they need to get stuff done. Also someone with confidence. All these traits contribute to being a leader because you can’t follow someone who themself doesn’t believe they can complete what was started. A wise old teacher who likes cardigans and Birkenstocks once said, “You should never start something you don’t intend on finishing.” After reconsideration I realized you asked who not what... but I worked too hard on that first bit not to post it. Melissa Webb is who comes to mind when I think of a leader. Not only was she IDCI’s prime minister and a leader around the school, but also outside of school and on the ice. Missy was one of the creators of a day called Wacky Wednesday, the first Wednesday of every month we would all dress in the most ridiculous attire and wear it on the ice. This was a creative way to get us to look forward to coming to skating. Even though she has moved away now, the tradition lives on. If she isn’t the definition of a leader I don’t know what is.
