Childhood Memory

Childhood is often remembered as a time of carefree innocence. Take a few minutes to free-write about one happy childhood memory of your own. 

I spend most my happy childhood time in Kaochung, in northern Taiwan, where the city began to become fancy since the time my family left. I had lived there for 6 years. In the morning I would walk to school by myself, later with my sister when she attend school. Sometimes my mom would ride bicycle and gave me a ride. I loved walking school because I can enjoy the park in the morning and run back home to whatever I would like to before my mom came home. Usually, I would walk with my friend to her house first then run back home. I would have a big cup of orange juice and turn on the air-con to 16ºC, the lowest degree, experiencing life in Antartica. In elementary school, we used to have this morning meeting and singing of national song under the hot sun. However I was pretty lucky in 5 and 6 grade that I got a job to be one of the computer class assistants who can sit inside the computer room during morning meeting. In 4 grade, I got a bunny which I named it, Petter. It's has white coat and two little red eyes. Petter is the smartest puppy I ever had. Although my sister adopt Jimmy and two other bunnies later, my favorit and beloved one is always Peter because I have spent so much time and done so many things with him. He knew how to find the way from ground floor up to 5 floor and choose the right door to the garden, where you would have to spend at least 30 minutes to catch it. So I made of several catching-Peter songs. Mom, Dad, my sister and I plants different plants and flower, even once a tree in the elevated garden. I remember so much things in my childhood that I am satisfied that I had a great one.

A Good Leader

A good leader must be optimistic and encouraging. Winston Churchill was a good leader because he believed that the American would win the war and people will work together toward this goal. He "believed" what he hoped to be. I can imagine that there must be some people who did not agree with his idea in the first time, and he must knew there were these people. A good leader must accept judgement, especially criticism. Actually I think the role of leader is to listen to all opinion from not only the members but also people other not in the community and try to improve. One integrate not only ideas from his closed followers or collegues but also from others. A leader should have the capability to suffer debates with confidence but be calm and humble. Also reliability is crucial because authority requires that trust of other people. In addition, a good leader thinks critically and analytically but keep the main goal focus. A clear mind is needed when dealing with different ideas, vary branche of steps and "people." Social skill is not less important than critical thinking. After all, without passion nothing can be achieved.
