6th grade: Everyone was split up into groups of 6th,
7th, and 8th graders and given a topic to create an
imovie on. It was a DISASTER because of my group’s lack of effort, and the
challenges we faced along the way. On the other hand, I was the leader and I
felt that I did all that I could to make the project the best that it could be.
7th grade: Exploring your passions. This was an
individual project that consisted of picking one of your passions and pursuing
it. I chose entomology and created a picture/informative book on entomology
(the study of bugs) and bugs from around the world. **See Attached**
8th grade (present): Exploring your passions
again! However, this year I chose one of my other passions, LEADERSHIP! In
fact, that’s what this blog is all about!
Anyway, back to my conversation with my mom… So, I wanted to
start a blog. At this point, I didn’t know what my blog would be about or
anything like that, but I wanted my final product to be some sort of
educational blog.
Mom: Okay, but what
would your blog be about? Music? Track? Literature?
Me: No, no, no.
Mom: What about leadership?
At this point I’m completely hooked.
Me: But what would my blog actually be about?
Mom: Well, you could look at different leadership positions,
literature on the subject, conferences, what it means to be a leader…
Me: Mom, you’re a genius!
As our car drive continues we discuss the logistics of the
project and I am super excited! I often visit NPR.org as soon as I arrive home
so I proceeded to hop on the computer. The first article that caught my eye was
“In Animal Kingdom, Voting of a Different Sort Reigns.” It sounded interesting,
so I clicked on it. My first response was OMG! It’s a three part series on
leadership. Yup, that’s when I decided to create this blog. This is my niche.
I’m a leader all day long!
