Leadership is often associated with political figures or corporate executives. However, true leadership begins much earlier — in the classroom.
Students demonstrate leadership when they: Stand up against bullying, help classmates understand difficult topics, participate in community service, and take initiative in school projects.
Leadership is not about position; it is about responsibility and influence. Great leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousafzai began shaping change at a young age.
Every student has leadership potential. The question is whether they will choose to develop it.
