Are you a leader? Anyone can be a leader no matter who you are.  A leader is someone who leads by example and stands up for what they believe in. People often think a leader as someone who is the best at what they do. For instance on sports teams people often look at the best person on the team as a leader. However because someone is the best at something it doesn’t mean they are the best leader. They could be cocky, bring others down, and not work hard.

A leader should be someone who is positive and lifts others up around them. Being a leader can be hard at times. Everyone looks up to you and you have to do your best to guide and lead them. They always work hard even when no one is watching. Another important thing about a leader is that they can relate to others and will go out of their way to help those who need help.

Some people say you have to be born a leader but I think anyone can become a leader. We all have what it takes to be a leader. We might just have to step out of our comfort zone. If you always work hard and help others, people might start to look up to you as a leader. Everyone has an opportunity to become a leader if they work their hardest and always try their best.
