She was a gymnast and made me want to be a famous gymnast. Lastly, the person I think is a leader is John Dimaggio. He was a voice actor on Adventure Time and it made me want to be a voice actor too.

    My Grandfather, George Washington, and Mark Messier are all outstanding leaders. They all put others before themselves and looked at the greater picture in all cases. They all knew that for the life they wanted they would have to work with others and sometimes do things they did not want to do. In addition to this, all these people worked hard, and that is a major quality in being a great leader. Sitting back and relaxing, was not going to be enough. They had to bust their butts to get where they are and be the people they wanted to be. If my grandfather did not work as hard as he did, he would still be living in a little shack, where the bathroom was actually in the kitchen. If George Washington did work like he did, this country wouldn’t be where it is today, and if Mark Messier did not work in practices and games, his skill would have needed got where it need to be. Lastly, these three people all led by example. They did and showed what had to be done, so their followers would want to be just like them. There are so many other words that could be used to describe these people for example, inspiring, honest, confident, committed, and creative, but hardworking, leading by example and putting others in front of themselves, stood out to me as great ones, that each of these people highlighted traits…

    Leaders are the role models of society because people follow them. For example in the story called Life in Troll Country the trolls killed the King.

Also, when the trolls where deciding to build a bridge the loudest troll with an armed group of followers was the only troll that made the decision of how the bridge was going to be built. This example displays that without a leader to guide society during tough situations then society will suffer.…
