Being a leader and setting a good example

This is a great topic because it relates to so many areas of our life. What im talking about is how kids copy other kids. Sometimes this is a thing they do without even thinking about it. Yesterday in class I shared a story about 2 black belts that personally inspired me. I watched them do  form and I was so amazed by their speed, power, and intensity, that from that day forward I told myself I wanted to look like they did. Now the funny thing is those 2 black belts were just doing what they do. They were not trying to impress me. But their actions inspired me to be better. They were leading by example and I just so happened to be there to see it. So think about how many times a day people just so happen to see you doing something. For the students with younger siblings, think about how many times a day your brother or sister copy you. You are a leader. They are coping you. My hope is that these talks will encourge my students to set a good example for those around them.
