Grip leadership course

On Thursday, some of my class and I went to the Grip leadership course and we learned how to be a leader

and that you stand up if there is a opportunity, for what is right, for others and for yourself and that you can be generous with your time, your treasure and your talent and the fact you could use paper, scissors, rock for an example of a leader, paper = create a plan, scissors = take action and rock = stay strong.
