School Leader 4/06/2019

School Leader
Dear Mr. Hendricks.
To become a school leader it takes many responsibilities. I exceptionally believe that I should be given this opportunity to become a school leader, I also have numerous reasons of why I should be one of the school leaders. I would be beyond grateful for this job, and believe I fit just right for this job.
Firstly, I strongly believe that I should become a school leader to show empathy, and be a school role model for them.
Secondly, I would motivate the little ones to use their manners and respect others rightfully.
Thirdly, I can help them understand their work better by explaining to them the problem. I can explain the equation / problem in multiple more simple ways, yet similar to the equation, if the equation was 5 + 2 then I can just tell them to keep the bigger number 5 in their head and count on another 2 more then they will get their answer.
I believe I would be perfect for this job. I am fun, patient, encouraging, kind and many more.
So I would appreciate it if you will accept me as one of the school leaders sincerely, Leilah.

The Greatest Library 4/06/2019

The Greatest Library
The books have minds of their own, this is no ordinary library. Books about castles and knights can zoom all around the library, bravely and boldly ordering books around.
The books that are about thieves sneak around, hiding behind the bookshelves in the shadows thinking no one can see them. Books about all the wild animals would hardly roar and bite pages out of all books.
The books containing stories set in the cold winter would often shiver, coving the neighbors with snow and even frost.
There was one girl named Lucy who loved the library like no other. Everytime she went to the library she always thought that reading is the most exciting thing in the world, every book she read seemed to come alive out of the pages.
While she was reading the book about wonderful animals in the forest when she said the name Panda it came to real life and she rushed to go and pet it on its head because that was her favorite animal because it’s fluffy and adorable.
When she was petting the Panda it was slowly disappearing because it only last forty minutes for the words she said comes to life. While it was disappearing she was feeling sad because that was her favorite animal then any other animal.
