My Class President

Having over a thousand students in my school, I am surrounded by leaders. Among them all, one of them stands out to me. He is my class’s President. As the Class Treasurer, I have worked very closely with him, and have seen in many forms his exemplary leadership. He is extremely involved in our community, volunteering for institutions of social change and bringing people together to help him. He points out social injustices and brings them to the attention of all around him. People flock around him wherever he goes. Everyone wants to be his friend, showing how he inspires others to be with him in everything he does. I always feel more inspired when I am around him.

This boy is a great leader because of his dedication to what he does. Any commitment he makes, he will stick to it until the end, no matter the difficulty. His perseverance makes him a very strong individual, and people feel comfortable around someone who exudes an air of solidarity. That is why so many people want to be around him.

He is the embodiment of situational leadership. No matter the situation, he will rise to the challenge and take charge. He most certainly encourages others to participate in the group, fostering group unity. He is also selfless, devoting lots of his personal time to helping others in our community. He directs and organizes, and has a great passion for what he does. It is difficult to identify any leadership skills that my Class President does not present in some form or another.

Much of what my leader does for the community and many of the causes he supports have to do with ethical issues. He is an activist, through and through, and ethics are at the base of all issues that any social activist wishes to act upon. These people are deeply concerned with these sorts of problems. Anything that is ethically wrong to them forces them to act, and my Class President is no exception to this.
