A Career As A Student Council (GPA)

Firstly, in my Academic Career, I have held a multitude of leadership roles. My sophomore year , I was a class representative for Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America, commonly known as FCCLA. It was my duty to alert members and keep them up to date regarding meetings and activities. As a representative of FCCLA, I learned how to work as a unit leader and a team member.That same school year, I ran for the district office of secretary for FCCLA. The nomination and election process, gave me the opportunity to grow and nurture my leadership abilities. It was eminently challenging; but I learned the importance of discipline and hard work. I accomplished my goal and was nominated Secretary for FCCLA. This office allowed me to meet plenty

I have demonstrated excellence In leadership by being in Future Business Leaders of America ever since I was in my freshman year. I became secretary my freshman year, vice president my sophomore year, and will have acquired the privilege of becoming President my senior year. Being in FBLA has helped me not only grow as a member, but as a leader. Throughout my growth inside the club, I have been able to encourage others to join extracurricular activities, developing my interpersonal skills. Community service has also been a major part of my High School career. Whether it’s first preparing and painting the posters for an activity we are having, to being in charge of a fundraising event, my goal has always been to try to impact the community breaking

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others” according to Bill Gates, while John Maxwell tells people that “Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.” Neither of them completely capture leadership, but at the same time, neither of them are wrong. To be a leader, one must empower and influence those they lead in order to get the results they want. Neither one mentions that a leader must be confident in themselves and show others that they are confident with the decisions they make for themselves and others. As president of the Italian National Honor Society at my school, it is my job to promote excellence in the course, as well as in the community. Since our society values giving back to the community, we put an emphasis on community service. Many of the other students in the society worried about completing their hours. I showed them that they did not need to worry about getting their service hours by completing all of my required hours for both National and Italian Honor Societies before the end of November.

A shy, young boy enters the doors of high school. For nearly one year, he does not know exactly who he is. He makes pretty good grades and in his sophomore year, he is accepted into the Beta Club. Through this organization he learns the obligation to serve others, open his mind, lead, and help join the movement to change the world for the better. “Let Us Lead By Serving Others” (The National Beta Club). The National Beta Club is composed of nearly half of a million future leaders that come together to lead and serve our communities. We are some of the brightest, intellectual, and intelligent people in the entire nation waiting to unleash our potential and become successful leaders. It is important to focus in on the word potential. Many of us have the potential to invent new things and lead, but unfortunately, we may possess the fear of failure and allow not succeeding

Though I haven’t had the most involvement in extracurricular activities, I have been trying to turn that around. I joined FCCLA at the start of freshman year. FCCLA was an excellent experience to improve my leadership skills, as well as getting engaged with the school and community. This ranged from helping out with school activities, to collecting and organizing books to be donated to children, and crafting dog beds to donate to the Cedar Valley Humane Society. I ended up not resigning up for FCCLA the following year due to my dealing with a difficult death in my family. However, since then I have gotten stronger and want to expand my community involvement. For that reason, I joined Student Council after the end of my junior year. As a representative, I help in school activities and decision-making. Though I’m a newer member, I’m excited to be a part of the Student Council. I have also recently joined the Science National Honor Society. I was able to join this club because of my accomplishments in science. I doubled up biology and chemistry my sophomore year, challenged myself by taking AP Chemistry my junior year, and am currently enrolled in the Pharmacology Technician program at Kirkwood as a senior. I am eager to see guest speakers and have already signed up for a couple of community service activities in this

This has kept me out of many of the elected leadership positions in our school. However, there are many other ways that I exemplify my role as a leader. One of these ways is by being a part of athletics. I have always felt like a leader in this environment, as I have always exceeded at sports. As an underclassman, I would be the one who helped out with cleaning up, and pushed my teammates to get better. Being apart of these smaller groups allows me to feel more comfortable when leading others. I also lead the team to getting better by helping to set up practices when the coaches were not allowed to coach in the off season. This made me a better leader in everyday life as I am now a more active leader. I lead in group projects, telling people what needs to be done and when. I make sure people are on track, and do not act out. Despite not being a leader to the many, I have still been able to make a big difference by being a leader in my everyday life as an athlete and a

Academic rigor and a high level of scholarship has a prominent role in my remaining two years of high school, especially staying on track to attain Lamp of Knowledge at graduation. The second pillar, leadership, in my opinion is the most important pillar of the National Honors Society. Leadership establishes one critical role of a high-level student, worthy of the National Honors Society, since today’s students will grow to become the leaders of tomorrow. On a daily basis, I use skills of leadership in band, pertaining to being section leader and organizing forty people, committing extra hours to better our section. As a section leader, I strive to contribute and aid section members with fairness, organization, and accuracy. Skills of leadership will directly impact future experiences relating to my future professional life, college, as well as current high-school endeavors. Service, the third pillar, is another fundamental part of the National Honors Society, and future undertakings. At my former elementary school, as well as my local baseball league, I have dedicated many hours with

I have learned from fellow classmates and peers on how to become a selfless leader and follower thinking of others above myself. Throughout my four years of high school, I’ve been a part of many clubs, some that I am still involved in and some with important leadership positions. My main motive in getting involved with my community and school is to improve our school and community. In AFJROTC I have done over 250 hours of community service just within ROTC and have done over 1,000 community service throughout my community and school. I believe in selfless actions to help benefit my neighbor and peer to overall make us both superior. I am currently the Steele’s National Honors Society President, a Flight (class) commander and squadron (leader of all flights) commander, Business manager for 2017-2018 Squire magazine, Class of 2018 reporter (class officer). I have key positions in many clubs and organizations that have over this year improved and exceeded expectations. As I am a Leader, I have learned to become a respected, caring, strong-willed, straight forward, and reputative leader. I learned this mostly from the direction and teaching of Steele High School making me the leader I am

Within the last three years at Westside High School, I have not only pushed myself academically, but athletically as well. I do everything within my capability to keep my grades to a high standard while absorbing knowledge that will help better my future. Beginning in my ninth grade year, I decided I wanted to take leadership rolls within my school. I was a member of the varsity cheerleading squad, a member of Westside student council, and a member of the track and

I have demonstrated the qualities of a capable and trusted leader through my involvement in my school, work, and community activities. I have held a part-time job at my church's daycare where I help create a safe, loving, caring, and nurturing learning environment for children of the ages zero to five. All the while, I have continued to be an active member in school functions and be in leadership positions in various clubs. Currently, I am serving as the District 17 FBLA President and the President of Northeast Vernon County's National Honor's Society Chapter. I have also been involved with sports throughout my high school years where I also demonstrated leadership abilities serving as our cheerleading Captain last year and Co-Captain the year

The National Honors Society is know throughout for having outstanding leaders and I would be honored to be in it. I believe I show qualities a leader has such as being a hard worker and achieving my goals with my grades and overall. I work very hard in school and out to achieve the grades I have. Last year I ended with a 3.8 GPA and am currently trying to bring it up or keep it the same. I always go in for retakes if offered and stay after for extra help if needed. Although I do always do this, it also makes me a little stubborn since I always aim for an A and if I don't get it I try again and again until I do. I am a leader by showing others to never give up and always try their best no matter what.

Playing on a high school tennis team, being a freshman advisory peer leader, and volunteering at various locations has provided me with the tools to be a good leader in anything I do. Being a member of my tennis team has taught me to be supportive and spread positive motivation to all my teammates through all the losses and wins. As an upperclassman, I stand as a role model and mentor for the younger athletes, a peer to approach when needing to perfect a serve or gain confidence before a match. Freshmen Advisory had taught be the importance of being receptive towards new high school students, being a point of reference for anything from getting an A in a difficult class to making new friends. I was able to help guide the freshmen in my school through their first year while at a new stage in their lives. I have also been involved within my community at numerous volunteer locations such as Center for Food Action, New Life Senior Center, Valley Hospital and many more. I have learned to be a leader within these organizations by giving back and influencing my peers to do the

Being active in clubs while at DCHS has made me more confident in myself while in school and out of school. This is partially due to me taking leadership positions in Debate, GSA, Scholar’s Bowl, and National Honors Society, and being Co-Vice President of the Senior Class. I am learning more about myself while helping others discover who they are themselves. And while there are times I am shaky when it comes to being an effective leader, I know this will only help me to grow and improve myself in the

I occupy my time in clubs and activities that both captivate my interest and are most important for my peers and me. These include but are not limited to my positions in Link Crew, Student Council, and Senior Board. They range from Senior Class Representative to Vice President. Many of my teachers and mentors have identified a characteristic of mine as a great leader, and I wanted to improve on these skills. I don't dominate discussion or action, I simply guide it. I take all of my positions seriously and always bring my best attitude; my leadership methods distinguish me from other

Throughout my educational career at St. Paul High School I have been involved in many roles of academic excellence and leadership that I believe have well-prepared me for my future.  As a freshman and sophomore, I received two ACE Awards for maintaining a minimum 4.0 GPA and as a junior received and Academic Letter.  During my sophomore year of high school, I participated in a number of leadership roles including 2015 HOBY ambassador and The Congress of Future Medical Leaders delegate.  Now, as a senior, I have taken on more positions of academic leadership such as participating on the St. Paul High School Academic Challenge Team and being a member of the National Honor Society.  Although these are only a number of my accomplishments over the
