#4 Best Leadership Experience

My best leadership experience was raising awareness for Falling Whistles the non-profit organization. Eleven friends and I were told at a leadership conference to pick an organization and use social media to raise more awareness for it. What we did was make a video talking about the organization and how people can support it. We also used twitter and facebook to let more people know about the organization. As well we went around and told people about the organization and asked for there help to support this wonderful cause. We also started and outline to a blog we are going to start to let people become more aware of this organization and the issues its facing. It was a great experience which allowed me to see how you can easily become more aware and help others become more aware. My friends and I are still using tweets and posts to get the word out.

#3 A Leader

When I think of a leader I think of Nelson Mandela. A man who sacrifices his entire life in order to better his community is more than just good citizen, he is a hero. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is a miraculous man who gave up everything in order to better society. Nelson Mandela is an excellent example of a good citizen. Born and raised in South Africa, Nelson Mandela was a very influential man in history because of the way he changed society. When the South African government implemented the Apartheid Policy which limited black rights including the right to vote; Mandela began to protest in several ways some of which include: strikes, boycotts, civil disobedience and other non-violent protests. Mandela was eventually arrested and jailed for his actions. The South African government would release Nelson Mandela if he agreed to cause no more harm and change his political views. Mandela refused to give into the government. He remained in jail while rage all over the world built up against the South African government. Eventually Mandela`s protest and struggle in jail was over when the South African government agreed to remove the Apartheid Policy. Mandela gave up his freedom in order to better his country .Nelson Mandela caused a global movement and bettered a society. He changed the lives of millions and gave up his freedom in order to reach common goal. Mandela is a leader who is known all around the world.He influenced so many people it's impossible to not think of him as a leader.

#2 What's Not Wrong?

One thing that is never wrong in life is a blanket. They are never wrong because they are warm, soft and just make you feel comfy. A blanket can be used at any time and they will always make you smile. A blanket is something everybody loves from babies to elders and everyone in between. Blankets are perfect for everyone.
