A leader who has made a difference in my life is one of my church youth group leaders, Josh. He was chosen because he interacts really well with teenagers, likes to have fun, and is simply a cool guy. Josh has many leadership qualities including: hardworking, positive, intelligent, helpful, and fun. For example, he will always gives us compliments and comes to our activities outside of youth group. My youth group leader has impacted my life in many ways by making me feel important, wants me to strive for excellence, and is a friend to all. Every time I see him he comes up to me and shakes my hand, gives me a compliment, and asks how I am. He is also so thoughtful. On many occasions, he has bought my dinner, lunch, and treats, like ice cream. He has drove me home and picked me up from my house. In addition, he is very creative. In presidency meetings for youth group, he comes up with so many fun ideas. He has a lot of things to add and so many stories to tell that we can relate to. Last time I saw him he said, “Hey Ryan! Man I love your costume! How’d you think of that? What a great idea! How have you been? How was school and your classes today?” Josh is so caring and makes me feel meaningful.

| What a good leader is |
Ralph and my youth group leader have a lot in common, but have some differences as well. They both are wise, trustworthy, and hardworking. In addition, they both care about the people they lead and want the best for them. Yet they have differences. Ralph is a young and immature boy who blows up if things don’t go his way. My youth group leader is an adult who is mature and open to new ideas and activities. My youth group leader is awesome and has qualities that are similar and different from Ralph in Lord of the Flies. All in all, my youth group leader is a man who inspires me to do good things in my life.
