Leader Story

Hi, my name is Florence GriffithJoyner.

I am a leader.

I like to run.

I like to run fast.

I want to run faster than acheetah.

I stand next to the cheetah.

I hear, "On your mark, get set, go."

The gun fires, pow.

The race is on.

I run fast under the sun with my hair in a bun.

The cheetah won.

I run again.

I am next to the cheetah.

I hear, "On your mark, get set, go."

The gun fires, pow.

The race is on.

I run fast under the sun with myhair in a bun.

The cheetah won.

I will run until I win.

The next day, I ran so fast thecheetah came in last.
