leadership has changed me in many ways. a year ago, i would cherish my free time to spend with my friends all the time i wasn't working. but now, i just like to stay in leadership with my friends in here. they're more friendly and they are drama free. they also understand me more than my other friends who aren't in leadership because they understand what we do in leadership and all. last year, when we didn't have work and during lunch, or anytime i could get to go outside, i would go and spend time with my friends every chance i get. and now, even when i don't work or have anything to do in leadership, i'm mostly always in here. i think this is a good change because there is no drama in here and i don't have to deal with people i don't like. plus its more fun to hang out with my friends in here. i also changed in my personality. in leadership and outside, i used to be shy to speak in front of a crowd. now, after talent show, t.v, announcements, meetings, and all that, i'm not shy at all. i have a lot of confidence and i'm not afraid to speak to a big crowd.i changed from a year ago to now, because before, i would care about what other people thought about me and stuff. but now,i could really care less about people's opinions on me and what they think. now to me, it only matters that i like what i'm doing.  not if others like what im doing. leadership also helped me improve on AR and with my grades. a year ago, i was really really bad in AR and on my grades.. i would turn in late work, and be really late with my AR. i think i'd be the last one to finish my AR too. but now, after a year of leadership, i work hard and i push my self to try my best in every class and i try to do my AR on time. also, this whole school year, i was never the last one to finish my AR goal, i finished before a couple of people at least. i improved on reading by a lot because now, I'm interested into these Lurlene Mccdaniel books, which really helps me with AR because i'm addicted to her books which helps me read faster. i think i changed in general though , with my attitude. at the beginning of the year, and even a year ago, i used to be really mean and i'd have the worse anger issues. but now, i still do, but it isn't half as bad as before, which is a good improvement. i am also more friendly. a year ago, when we had new students, i wouldn't talk to them. now, i introduce myself, ask them where they're from, and make friends with them. a bad thing that i changed from a year ago is being lazy. a year ago, i wouldn't slack at home and i wouldn't take long to do all my chores and homework and stuff. now, i'm so lazy that as soon as i go home, i grab a snack, lay down on my couch, and watch t.v. all the way from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. i just eat and watch TV and be lazy. this is a really bad change because it isn't a good habit... this was my comparisons on changes i made from a year ago, to now.
