“Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.” John C. Maxwell. Leadership can often simply be focused on one's characteristics, or success but, leadership reaches beyond these things into how our actions affect others and how we positively influence our peers. As I consider myself a leader, I posses the leadership qualities of independence, being driven, confidentence, positivity, and hardworking.
First, as a leader I am independent. Growing up an only child independence is one of my strongest and most natural qualities of leadership.

This is another trait that comes naturally, for I like to get things done as soon as possible. I am driven when it comes to homework and assignments, and planning.

For example when the really smart students at the top of my class, can sit back and ignore assignments until the due date, I know that it can take me longer, sometimes multiple tries, or even help from the teacher to receive the same grade they will get for five minutes of work. I believe being a hard worker influences my peers by showing thats its possible to obtain things that can be
