Richard Murphys Leaders

Servant leaders, such as Nelson Mandela, Richard Murphy, and Jesus Christ, possess many good qualities, relate to their people, and walk in their shoes. Not only have they been where their followers have been, they also lead them into a brighter future. Some lead them into this future because they do not want their followers to experience what they have experienced, while others lead them because they know what their future might hold if they did not guide them down the right path.
Nelson Mandela
A symbol of peace was given to the world on July 18th, 1918. Nelson Mandela was born in Mueso, Transkei, South Africa (A&E, n.d.). Nelson was a son to Henry Mandela, his clan’s chief, but when he became of age he renounced his chieftainship, studied

He founded the Beacon Schools in New York, which turned education centers into community centers after school hours (Schmitz, 2013). Murphy also is for equality and justice. He created a free program for the low-income families of New York to help them complete their tax returns. Murphy’s choices and actions prove to observers that he is a fair and merciful man. In 1983, Murphy hired Geoff Canada. This was a bold move because most companies would have turned him away just for being late for his interview (Schmitz, 2013).
Murphy has and continues to bless the world with his generosity. Often the people who work tirelessly in the background are unnoticed and overlooked. Although Murphy may not want acknowledgment for all of his great works, he should be blessed for them. Perhaps if mankind expressed more gratitude toward the world’s servant leaders, more would rise up to benefit humanity.

The teachers are the obvious choice when it comes to who would be the leaders, but the students also are leaders. However, to be a leader among students does not necessarily mean they are good role models or positive influencers. Some students lead others poorly by how they treat people and how they act as a student themselves. The effective student leaders, however, work diligently behind the scenes.
Serving as a student servant leader in any school can be difficult and the role does present many challenges, which is why those students must possess a great amount of patience. They must be ready to seek first to understand, and to listen before stating what they think. A student servant leader must also be eager to work hard academically and morally. They should be willing to stand in the background as other students stand in the spotlight. Still, above all else, those students should set the example of how a respectful student should act.
If a student at C.H.A. wishes to become a servant leader, here are some ways they could start:
Try all they can to get good grades: A student can never be taken seriously if they are not responsible, and grades are the main indicator of a student’s responsibility
