In school, I was elected as a form representative for the student council. I debate in meetings to ensure my form groups issues are dealt with. This has improved my confidence to express my views and others. Outside of school I volunteered in a scout's organisation where I worked with children and adults. I developed my communication skills with people of different ages in a formal and professional manner, which can be utilised in a range of situations, for example when conducting psychological research. Being organised was vital as I had to balance my education with weekly volunteering. I gained leadership skills when I led the children in activities such as warm up exercises. What particularly stood out for me was a child who had behavioural
My robotics team and myself had to work together to create a robot that would complete tasks specified by the First Tech Challenge. We had to work together to decide what we wanted to achieve, and create a design to accomplish those goals. In particular, I worked a lot with the other programmer on our team because we were both new to the process and had to teach each other, as well as ourselves, many aspects of programming. This helps to prove that I am able to work well with others, listening to what they have to say as well as sharing my own thoughts and ideas. I believe that a good leader is able to work with others as well as work alone.
By running the club meetings as president for many years, I acquired various leadership skills. Then in high school, I joined FFA my freshman year. I learned how to become a better public speaker by delivering the FFA Creed and extemporaneous speeches at the Section FFA competition. I also studied how to lead a formal
Similar to LeVerne Payne, I served at an after school program for at-risk children and youth called The Master’s Workshop. I spent my time leading them in group activities, crafts, sports, music and a designated homework time. One of the greatest limitations I found myself facing in this role was a division in the power of authority. I volunteered here all throughout high school and some of the kids were very close in age to me. I found myself not always being respected for this reason.
I stood by her side holding her up and talking to her until my dad arrived. I believe this is an example of my leadership and service under a stressful situation. The skills mentioned can be useful not only at school but also in the community, where I always try to take an active
I am still looking for more opportunities to show my leadership and through NHS, I am hopeful I can accomplish that. One moment that showed my role as a leader, was mentoring the younger team of a sport I came to love recently. Lacrosse has become a passion of mine in a short period, I devote many hours to the sport to become an advert team player. I started building connections and friendships with younger players; we both would connect on the sport as I showed my love for it, and being able to help them out. Another leadership role that I demonstrate is being the section leader for my orchestra class.
A prime example was when I was the secretary of the Battle of the Books team. Not only was the secretary, but I was the oldest member of the team. That was one of my earliest positions of leadership and where I learned the significance of reliability. My ambition was to contribute to everything I did in various ways. The following year I participated in a total of eight different school clubs, most of them happened simultaneously.
I am evolved with volunteering at various events through the Interact club here at MHS. By volunteering within the town it gives me good morals. It teaches me to always give back to my community, but it is rewarding to help people in need. My leadership skills shines when I babysit. It is a huge responsibility to make sure a child, or sometimes an infant is safe at all times.
I don’t have much management/leadership experiences but the little I do have is being a manager at the tanning salon I recently worked for and also being cheer co-captain when I was in high school. Being a manager for the tanning salon I had to make schedules weekly and making sure everyone knew what time they were working and also working around their personal schedules, training new workers, and making sure the tanning salon was stocked up on all the things needed. Being Cheer co-captain I helped with making practice schedules monthly and dress code policies, training new cheerleaders cheers, and making
Leadership plays a large role in these activities. I show leadership in group work by taking charge and ensuring everyone is doing their part in it. I try and make sure one person is not doing all the work. In the classroom I show leadership by paying attention and turning all the assessments in on time. People say being polite and having manners will help you in life.
This includes teaching children from kindergarten to 6th graders to learn how to hit the ball, to proper have a better form, and to have fun during the camp. This leadership inspire me to become compassion and help people grow to learn new things. Another demonstration of leadership is when I join a tennis team in high school. To me, leadership during tennis is to know your team and yourself better because it can set the team to become successful. This also means helping other achieve the impossible.
Being prepared and organized help to maintain a good positive image, which is part of being a good role model. My leadership could be attributed to the many years I have been in voluntary work. Also, I am involved in extracurricular activities such as varsity soccer, membership in the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), key club, and Family Career and Community Leader of America (FCCLA). FBLA and FCCLA have given me the opportunity to see the business world and to lead as president of the organizations and key club has provided me with opportunities to be a great volunteer and gain community involvement. Some of these opportunities include working with the elderly at the local nursing home and assisting with local food pantry.
This definition of Leadership is best restated by my very own father “A person can demonstrate leadership skills even when not in a leadership position.” Throughout my high school years so far, I have demonstrated leadership mostly in the field of Boy Scouting in two different Troops. I started out my leadership trail in Boy Scouting by becoming a Troop Scribe who as per se the Boy Scout Handbook, 2016 Edition “The Scribe attends and keeps a log of patrol leaders’ council meetings. He records attendance and dues payments of all troop members and records advancement in troop records and on the troop advancement chart.” After that, I ascended into becoming a Patrol Leader and then acting as a Senior Patrol Leader, the highest youth leader of the troop, handling all patrols’ affairs and coordinating with the Scoutmaster for advice and consent.
I have developed leadership qualities when my Tae Kwon Do coach trusted me to lead our team during national championships. This has led me to then hold various leadership positions in undergraduate and dental school clubs. Moreover, my critical thinking abilities have excelled from being a mathematics and physics tutor. Tutoring has always challenged me to think outside the box in complicated problems, and this would allow me to use my creative skills when facing complex cases in my field. Persistence is another key element that is crucial in success.
I have gained important leadership skills because at a very young age I had to become a mom. A mom to my own siblings, my parents had troubles with jobs and alcholism. In a big city alone I had to learn on my own how to keep my siblings behaved and nutured. My leadership skills kept expanding through out elementary. As I wasn't afraid to speak my mind and do actions upon myself.
It is my responsibility to be organized, willing to work well with others, takes initiative, and having a positive attitude. During my time in the field, I had a pleasure of working with 3rd graders. I learned to be a long life learner. Everyday, I was challenged my students to learn something new. It was important to me to make a difference.
