Sooo I guess I'm a Group Leader?

So I got word that I was voted in as a group leader today. I'm not really sure what I got myself into, but it should be interesting, none the less. Why did I decide to become a group leader? Well it actually was pretty easy decision.

After the first day of class, I realized that I was different than most of the kids that went to the front. I also realized that most of the class was different from the people that went to the front. Now I'm not picking on the kids that went to the front on the first couple of days, but it just seemed to me that they were taking this class waaaaay to seriously.

Again, don't get me wrong, I take my school work seriously, I get solid grades and do what it takes to get things done. But for some reason I just don't take things very seriously. I'm not sure exactly when this happened, but one day I just realized that I enjoy life a lot more if I have fun in everything I do.

In general I live a pretty stress free life. I'm not quite a hippy, but I try to not let things bother me. The only thing that ever really gets me worked up is bad drivers and competitive sports. But other than that I try to enjoy life and not let things get to me. I assume that there are quite a few kids that feel the same way I do. Because of this I decided to be a group leader.

Stepping up in class took a lot of guts and I give you a lot of respect for it. I also agree with your blog when you say that you stood out among the other people running for group leaders. I myself could tell that you were a person that would be able to relate to a lot of others in the class. Again stepping up was the first step for you to prove yourself as a leader and over the weeks you and other group leaders have continued to show you're good leaders. Keep up the good work.
