Leadership, Thursday, Period 1, Class 4 (9/25/08)

"Congratulations to our Student Council Winners," Nathan said. He noticed that some of his students looked different, and he decided he was going to ignore it. He felt saner that way. "And sympathy to those who did not win. Remember not everyone wins every election. Part of being a good politician is knowing when you should try, try again. Either way anyone from this class who ran gets extra credit whether you won or not."

Nathan started to pass around the class handouts. "Today we're going to talk about skills. Being a good leader means understanding what you can do, and what you can't. Some of these are basic skills: are you good with a weapon? Are you good at math? Can you play the saxophone? Others are what we call 'soft skills.' Are you good with people? Can you motivate a team? Can you communicate effectively?

"Since I assume you already know your basic skills, today I'd like you to discover your soft skills. Take the following test. There's no right or wrong answers, just what you feel is right for you. At the end you'll see what your strengths are. If you're comfortable with it, share with the class and let us know how you think these strengths apply to a position of leadership."

Momoko's cheeks were still sore from where she'd pinched them trying to wake up from this weird dream. She hadn't wanted to go class today, but on the other hand the idea of explaining why she was absent was not appealing, so here she was, mind all boggled and notebook full of questions, like 'HOW in the world am I going to explain this to mom and dad?' and 'If I need to transform into Blossom, would the dress still fit?' and...

She ran her hand through her new short hair, confused. "Do I have to want to date girls now?"
