I wrote the speech for my friend who is running for class president but I need help comming up with the right ending for the speech. So here it gose...
Some people think that leadership can be taught, but I know from experience that all aspects of leadership can not be taught by a teacher. Leadership is learned by people taking on roles of leadership and experiencing first hand how leadership works. A leader in Webster’s dictionary is defined as a person guiding a group of people to their set goal. Being a leader though requires more then Webster’s definition. To be a leader a good leader has to be willing to take what he says and make it happen. A leader has to be organized and be able to listen to peoples’ ideals and take the time to listen. As a leader, he or she must be ready to face all obstacles and persist on there thoughts even when it seems like they are not being heard. As a leader I will be striving for excellent, I will listen to even the smallest of ideas no matter how small the person is, I will to the best of my ability be organized and take action on topics that should not be ignored. It is your choice… will you vote for someone who will to the best of their abilities be a leader or to elect a follower and hope to have your thoughts heard by someone else other then your friends. After all it is your class too.

In general, this is a good speech. I like the statement that a leader has to fulfill more than Webster's definition. However, I would rephrase "I will listen to even the smallest of ideas no matter how small the person is." Put that way, it sounds almost insulting to the audience. The second-to-last line is a little confusing--I had to re-read it a couple times to understand it. For a clinching line, you could say something about directly representing the class (i.e. "After all, it is your class, too--You can trust me to represent your needs, ideals..." etc. "Vote for -----!")
