  4. Carmen Mendez of California bought a homeless person a meal. She said while she was eating her food at a local food joint. A homeless lady walked in. She walked around asking people for there leftover food. All the people ignored her and threw there leftovers away. She decided it wasn't right for the homeless person to eat leftovers. She bough the lady a meal. This really showed a lot of leadership, because nobody else would even acknowledge the lady. She showed bravery, respect, and she was very open minded. All good traits of a good leader.

    It's Ironic that Obama is no longer getting as much backlash as he used to, considering he's going to be out of office soon. Anyhow, he showed that he was a good leader by being honest to his people. President Obama said, basically, that there aren't any easy solutions for the Isis terrorist problem. He doesn't have any easy answers, and neither does anybody else. Looking at you Jeb.

  14. The death of Gray, a 25-year-old black man whose spine was virtually severed while in police custody, sparked one of the worst urban riots since the 1960s and led to the officers' arrests.

  16. n an age where the royal family of Great Britain ruled their kingdom from the luxuries of their throne, a princess emerged that would change the face of the royal family. Princess Diana was one of the most famous people in the world, named one of Times Magazine 100 Most Important People of the 20th century. She was known as the “people’s princess,” until tragically, she was killed in a car accident in 1997 that would lead to questions of: What made Princess Diana such an influential person? Why did 2.5 billion people view her funeral? How did she change the way her country viewed social issues that for centuries were seen as undesirable?https://anasebrahem.wordpress.com/2013/12/07/the-peoples-princess-princess-diana-is-the-epitome-of-a-servant-leader/
