Now even children are “leaders”? I think the HR industrial complex has taken this lingo a bit too far.
Congrats to the kids, for maintaining their high grades and also being involved in so many other school activities. They can be “leaders” in their sports teams and other activities, why is that unreasonable? I hear so much about kids getting in trouble, with drugs or guns- these kids show the opposite.
We have great kids in our city. You only read about the bad ones. Surprised to see something positive here a nice change.
