John Karla S. 1. To me being a leader means to do something good for your peers expecting nothing in exchange but the greater good. A leader takes the responsibility to direct their team towards their goal and get pass every obstacle in the way.

Jevin Lin Nelson Mandela's leadership has had a big impact on how I see things. His strength during tough times, his fight for fairness, and his dream of a fair world are really inspiring. I admire how he brought people together and stood up for what's right. In my own journey, I've set some goals: getting better at talking clearly and listening well, staying calm under pressure, and starting a program at college to help younger students become leaders. Mandela's legacy teaches me about including everyone and never giving up, and I want to use those ideas to make positive changes in my community and beyond.
