LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND DEDICATION

Can you imagine our country without a leader? What do you think are the possible effects? 

These are some of the questions that always run in my head because personally, I want to be a future leader of our country someday. 

I do believe that a country without a leader is like a flower without a soil and sunlight, it will not have a progress and it will not grow, same as a country without a leader, the country will become miserable and it will not grow at the same time.

I am actually an active member of any organization since elementary until now that I am already a graduating senior high student. Being a leader is such a big responsibility, my teacher always reminds me that if you want to be a leader, you need to be fully committed because in this case you will not think first yourself but of course you are thinking about the sake of other people. 

A leader should be selfless and always have the mentality to help without expecting in return. Leadership is a momentous ability because we can't buy it in any convenience store. 

I also believe that leadership is within us, we don't just using it instead we all have the potential and ability to be a leader, we just need to discover it to ourselves and conquer our fear. One characteristic that a leader should also have is being optimistic in any situation because as part of a specific organization you may encounter a lot of difficulties that will measure your leadership, but if you have the attitude of a true leader you will cope up that no matter what happen. 

The best example for that situation was when I am in the 9th grade and I am a part of Supreme Student Government Organization and during that time we were celebrating The World Teachers Day and the teachers seems don't like our tokens but as a leader we look for alternative materials in order for them to be happy and make that day memorable we became optimistic even we faced that kind of problem and just like BDO, we find ways.

I remember my quotation during our SSG election way back year 2016 and that is "A true leader don't create followers they create more leaders" and that is very true because if you are a leader with full of vision you will encourage them to follow your footsteps. In addition a leader is not just a model but a role model because they ran because they want to inspire other people rather than to become popular. 

Next one is my quotation during my last year in Junior High School which is "Leadership comes from passion, not in position" and that's also right because everyone can be a leader in their own simplest and  unique way even you are male or female, rich or poor, educated or non-educated as long as your heart want to serve and you have a strong mind to show people then you can be leader and it would be up to you on how you will handle every circumstances.

And lastly what the leader should aim is unity for one another, because a good leader is also a good listener he/she will listen to his/her companions who will also give a lot of good suggestions that may help to uplift the purpose of the group. And of course teamwork because at the end of the day "teamwork makes the dream work."

A leader must be fuelled by passion, dedication, compassion and love and if you mix all of that together that is equal for a successful leadership!
