Model Essay(范文)：
According to my opinion, it’s always better to be a leader than a follower. True leader showinitiative. They take action and they assume responsibility. A leader makes a decision. Somefollowers may approve of the decision, others may complain about it. However, thesefollowers all chose to follow, not to lead. They chose not to make a decision. That’s how I’mdifferent. I’m not a follower. I want to make the decisions.
Good leader will not react to events, but will anticipate them .A leader will start a plan ofaction and then will persuade others to follow. For example, a class president at a local collegemay feel that the relationship between the community and the campus is not a good one .Thecitizens may feel that the college kids make too much noise on the street, litter public areas, and shop in other communities. A good class president will recognize that the community andthe campus depend on one another. The president will ask the student body to keep noisedown, help clean up the neighborhoods, and work with businesses to attract students. A goodleader takes the initiative.
Good leaders must be action-oriented. Having taken the initiative, they must see the jobthough. They have to take charge and lead the followers. They have to motivate andencourage the followers. The followers (in this example, the student body) must understandwhy good relations with the community are necessary. The followers must be persuaded to dosomething about it.I enjoy taking the initiative, determining the direction, and beingresponsible for my actions. I don’t want to suffer through other people’s stupid decisions. Ifthere are going to be stupid ways to do something, let them be mine. Wouldn’t you agree?
