April T. __Part A: Joan Of Arc __

Of all the leaders in the world, a leader I admire is Joan of Arc. She had many great qualities, but the ones that I admire are her loyalty, wisdom, faith and passion.

__Citizenship Quote: __ “ <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">“Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.” are elected by good citizens who do not vote.” - George Jean Nathan

__<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Part B:Jonathon Morris __ <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">image not found 1. I choose Jonathan Morris because for the last nine years, he had helped many youth out of depression and talked them out of committing suicide. Not a lot of people think that young people have reasons to be depressed or to commit suicide. But now a day, it's becoming more and more uncommon because of unhealthy beauty image that is betrayed in today's media, peer pressure and stress. J.M. Is making our society more mentally healthy in other words.

2. I think we can learn about how to gain more self-esteem kind of, how to ignore the media definition of beauty and how to handle stress in a healthy way from him. He can teach us about how to be aware of youth depression and suicide and the symptoms.

3. In this course, I would like to be more confident, be able to take criticism more easily and have a higher self-esteem. =Jessica Reaume= A. Of the famous leaders whom we have studied in class, the person I admire the most is : Craig Keilburger

 * Quotes about Leadership****:**

**__ Part B __** 1. I chose Charlayne Thornton-Joe because she is a active person in the community. She helps people with disabilities. In the past she was the Director of the Lion’s Society for Children with Disabilities. Also she helps with homelessness, mental illness, and addictions. 2. I think my peers and I could learn from this person from their good communicating skill. It is hard to communicate with a disabled, homelessness, mental illness, and addictions. In order to these help people with their serious dileamas you have to build up their trust in order to communicate with them. 3. For leadership qualities I want to have confidence developed during this course because a good leader needs to be confident. =<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">Airi Oji = <span style="color: #2a2a2a; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">PartA <span style="color: #2a2a2a; display: block; font-family: 'Segoe UI',Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">Of the famous leaders whom we have studied in class, the person I admire the most is:Craig Kielburger.Their strengths includes the qualities of __care for others, helping people in need.__ Quotes about Citizenship: "I won't give up until the exploitation of all children has ended and all children have their rights."

Part B: If it was me I think I would pick to come to this class.

I chose this person because she is a person that was really successful and took many actions and raised a lot of money for people.

I think I could learn a thing or two from this person because she might be able to teach me to take action and volunteer with many things.

I would want to learn more about what’s happening in the world and what kind of course Civics is. =Heather Nigh= =A. The world leader I admire most is Martin Luther King. He always stood for what he believed in no matter what. He was also brave and an amazing leader. Quotes about citizenship: “A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high virtues of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation.” -Thomas Jefferson http://en.proverbia.net/citastema.asp?tematica=193 Quotes about leadership: “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” -Harold R. McAlindon http://www.inspirational-quotes.info/leadership.html Martin Luther King= =B. If I had to choose a person from either of the websites to speak to the class, I think it would have to be Jeff Vaughan. I chose him because of his love for the community he lives in, and his passion for it's beauty, and believes it can be "more caring, more beautiful, more litter-free and healthy." I feel that we need more people like this in our community to be able to make a difference. The description of the things Vaughan does seems very remarkable. It states how he is able to make vonlunteering seem fun, and cool and he teached how people can "give back." I think that my peers and I would be able to learn a lot from him because of these things. Its almost as if people need an "okay" in order to can started on things. The same way a class would give presentations and no one would want to go first. I think he would provide the comfort, reassurance and support of making the first move that other people need to get started on making there community a nicer place to live. I would like to have the same qualities and Jeff Vaughan. I would love to be able to take charge and make a stand no matter what other people thought.=
