Leadership

Some qualities that a leader has are experience, skill, and is good at motivating people. I think it's important that a leader has experience because they have to know what works best in a situation, and the best way to get everyone what they want without causing distress to the people they are leading. That's why the leaders are often the eldest people, such as the 8th graders in middle school, or the seniors in high school. It's just because they've been in that situation the longest and they know what works well and what doesn't.
I also think that just natural skill is needed in a leader. It could be people skills that are needed, like the students in Slams. It could be your speed or endurance or how high you can jump in track and field. Or even how well you play chess. In any situation you need a leader who is good and very talented in whatever it is they specialize in. I think you need that because you need a leader to have admirable qualities like that so that the people want to follow them. And it's these skills that make people feel motivated by these people because with such high standards they are constantly aspiring to be better and be as good as them.
I think that the leaders in our grade are Aysha because she is just who people look up too. I think it's mostly because she puts herself out there and is never afraid to talk to people. And I also think Michaela is a leader because she is really good at stuff and I think people want to be as good as it as her.
