LEADERSHIP...How do you see your leader.

I had many leaders in my life. I try to let them lead me the way is best for them but also knowing how i want things to be. For example , parents. They always wants what's best for the child, even though sometimes you think they're doing just to be mean. They have a insight in being a child so if they see something that they might have done and sees it going wrong, they are going to do everything they can to stop you from making that mistake. you never see that when your growing up, but when you're older you are able to look back on those things and thank your parents for the things they did when you were younger.

Teachers are nothing like your parents, but they can and try to teach you life long skills you can take with you everywhere. If you're being resistant then they're going to let you be, only because its not their job to take care of you. The good things about teachers are they're always willing to help you out with whatever they can.

As a SCA worker I have many crew leaders to help me with my problems as a teen and as a worker. There and many leaders I know who are willing to talk to us about personal things, or even helping us with homework we might need help with they're willing to stay after or before work. For example, my recent crew leader Barbara. she is a English teacher and she always help me with my grammar and spelling. Once I asked her for a little grammar lesson and she helped me, no problem.

The other type of leaders I really appreciate are my peers. They teach me many things, not schooling, but life lessons and building relationships in a way. I think of everyone around me as leaders and even myself as a leader.

Working in the Bioneers expanped my leadership skills a lot. when the program first started I was kind of a leader but now that it's nearing the end of the program I see myself more of a leader then I was at the begging. When my crew membemers are upset or down I try to cheer them up, or even get their mind off the probelm for a little while. Another is when we go out to visit the other crews I tell them how I have grewn being with the SCA, and how it have changed me a lot.
