Every Saturday Morning I play tennis for Flinders Park Tennis Club. Im in the same Tennis team as Twinkletoes7 and we are in Division 2 out of 7 Divisions, the highest being Div 1. We are currently in the Winter season of Tennis. We are coming 5th out 8 teams. We have won 3 matches out of 7. To get into the finals you need to finish in the top 4. I am the Number 2 player in my team with Twinkletoes being the 3rd player. I am very happy about my results in tennis.

This term my classes inquiry question is What Does It Take To Be A Leader?. We have had to pick a leadership quote then write our opinions about it. After that we had to create a picture about what we thought the quote means and then display the quote on the picture we created. Here is my explanation and picture.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote stood out for me because it is simple and it has an easy effective message.
I think that this quote means don’t copy other people but make your own choices. Otherwise the world of leadership would be really boring. This quote shows that you shouldn’t just sit back and copy others but make your own decisions and think for yourself. A great example is Barack Obama because he was the first black person to step up and become the president of America. He did not follow the other black people who were scared to run for president. But instead he took his own path and decided to run for presidency. He has created a new destination for black people to take, because of his bravery and courage. Obama has inspired all the black people because of the choices he made. He has given the black people a new path to take. So therefore a leader is required to take risks instead of taking old paths but leaving a new trail behind.

I will be telling you my opinion about the question, “Are Leaders Made Or Born?”
I think some leaders can be born because their mum or dad could of been a famous leader or already are a famous leader. For example Barack Obama’s children might grow up and be great leaders too, you never know. I also think that leaders can be made because in school they could have been a student representative or a captain of a sports team. Or when they were young they could of been confident and risk takers. So do you think Leaders are Made Or Born? I think so……..
