8/4/2013 Why do we need leaders?What do leaders do, and can you be a leader? We need leaders because if we didn't have leaders, we wouldn't know right from wrong. People wouldn't know how to act normal because, there would be no role models to look up to, there would be more wars throughout the world and would not be a safe world to live in. I believe great leaders never take short cuts in their lives, they work at things to be successful and make an impact on others and the community. I think if you want something, go get it, and never let anyone say you can’t do it. Leaders stand up for what is right and what they truly believe in. Great leaders chase their dreams and are dedicated to reach them no matter what, leaders stand up for what is right and for what they believe in.Leaders motivate people and inspire them to believe in themselves and their dreams and to never give up. I believe that true leaders are courageous and lead from their hearts.For example Martin Luther King he fought for civil war rights and didn't give up,He helped get equal rights between white people and black people because that was his dream. If martin Luther king did not fight for civil rights there would be racism everywhere. I think that we need leaders in the world because if we didn't have leaders we wouldn't have good examples and we wouldn't have reliable people to run our country and to make big decision . We need leaders because they fight for peoples rights, for example in 1955 Rosa Parks was on a bus when the bus driver told her to give up her seat because the section where the white people sit was full, she refused to give up her seat and she got arrested that is a great example of a great leader Rosa Parks was the first person to refuse from moving from her seat for a white person shes a great example of a leader following what she believed in. Lots of people try to be leaders but fail, because they don't have he qualities of a leader for example leaders have to be honest and kind to other people, they have to have Confidence in what they do they also have to be positive and inspiring to others .If you want to be a leader you have to be persistent in what you are doing , you have to have the qualities of a leader, you have to hold on to your dreams and never let anyone take them away from you. You have to be brave and courageous to stand up for what is right and what you believe in no matter what other people think. Leaders have to be confident in what they are doing for example if you are leading a group or building something, and leaders have to be a good example for others to follow. You now know how to be a leader, and what great leaders do and you now know why we need leaders so don't wait, go and show people how you can make a difference and how you can inspire others to make a difference in the world. Leaders are so important in this world, without them we would be living in a world with violence and people would be making wrong choices. We need leaders in this world so we can stay humane, so everyone has role models to look up to. By Alex.
