1301 My Literacy Journey I’ve always had the desire to write beautifully‚ from penmanship to placement and flow of the words. I remember getting birthday cards from my Granny with elegant cursive writing. Attracted to the way each word blended so smooth and soft‚ I would get a piece of paper and mimic the slants of each word connecting each letter‚ more like one lowercase “l” after another‚ to the next. One day I’d be able to spell the words in my mind‚ and until that day I’d practice my “cursive”

LEADERSHIP and REFLECTION William Cohen says “Great leaders are made not born” (Cohen 1998). If one has got the want and drive‚ one can be an effecient leader. Good leaders develop with a persistent process of self-study‚ experience‚ education‚ and training. (Jago‚ 1982).
