What Makes A Good Leader Writing By Liana

Task Description: Room 12 has recently been writing about what makes a good leader. We read some speeches from famous people such as Malala Yousafzai, Winston Churchil, Abraham Lincoln and more. After reading about these speeches we had to write our own speech on what makes a good leader. Here is my speech. :)))

 

    What Makes a Good Leader

         A leader who knows the way goes the way and shows the way 

         Said by Jackson C Maxwell. I think that a good leader is made by someone with Confidence, Passion, Determination, Problem Solving and Empathy. These are the core qualities of a true leader.

Confidence

I think a leader should have confidence. Confidence is the base of a good leader. As a leader you should be able to speak in front of a horde of people. You should have the ability to not shy away from people and speak for the smaller voices. But having confidence as a leader isn’t always about speaking aloud its 

also about inspiring others to be confident about themselves.

Passion

Passion is a strong feeling of euphoria that motivates you to do what you love. A leader’s courage to fulfill their dream is passion. Passion is about truly liking what you do. A leader should have passion for what they do. If Abraham Lincoln didn’t have passion he wouldn’t have passed with pride.

Determination

Determination is about willing to go above and beyond to do what is needed. Determination is about acting with certainty. A leader should have determination so they can lead people with assurance. If Winston Churchill didn’t have determination he wouldn’t have successfully led a war. 

     Problem Solving

A very obvious need for a leader is problem solving. Without knowing how to solve problems there would be chaos. Leaders should know how to solve problems peacefully without any harm as well as understand the situation or problem.

Empathy

Empathy is seeing into the eyes of others 

Having empathy as a leader helps you understand someone else’s situation. With empathy you can bring out the best in other people, you can motivate them. Having empathy is the ability to connect with others and empowering them to be better. A leader is not only about leading, leaders have empathy for others and the ability to bring out the best in you.

That’s what makes a phenomenal leader.

  

Film Festival By Liana

Task Description: Last week Thursday GTS went to Hoyts cinema for Manakalani Flim Festival (The best day of the year). On Thursday we watched a TON of movies that were about 2 minutes. The best movie from Manakalanai Film Festival had Comedy, Good Action, Meaning and good quality (suprisingly). These are the good qualities or a goodo movie 🙂

Overall I had a fun time at Manakalani Film Festival and I thought all movies were exceptional :)))

 

Athletics Day By Liana

Task Description: Last Friday on 10th November GTS had our yearly Athletics day! On Athletics day we did High Jump, Long Jump, Shot Put, Disk Throwing etc and lastly we had relays and a race 🙂 Since i’m not mucb of a sports person my favorite activty was discus. Why? Because it didn’t include any running. If you didn’t know, I HATE running so thats why I enjoyed discus the most.

In conclusion I think that Te Wai O Taiki had won the race this year but that is yet to be known!

Great Beginning By Liana

Task Description: Last week Room 12 had written some Great Beginning writing. I had decided to go with the flow and write whatever came to mind. This is my writing enjoy reading (I wrote this in a rush sorry)

 

A Walk at Night

The luminous stars being the only thing at sight, The sounds of my footsteps echoing as I walk along the soundless path, there is no one around. The birds chirping while the trees slowly sway as the wind becomes stronger. My hair whooshing back as the light breeze gently hits my face. Then I hear a sudden sound… A scraping sound, someone is here.
