BGSU Leadership Goals

Quoted by Ronald Reagan “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” A manager gets things done via planning and delegation. Tasks are usually assigned and results are obtained by other efforts. A leader gets things done by holding a vision, modeling behaviors and usually have very inspiring actions. A manager is defined as, “An individual who is in charge of a certain group or tasks” (Business Dictionary). A leader is defined as “The person who leads or commands a group, organizations” (Business Dictionary).

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

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

From this club I’ve learned people assemble and assisting each other on a project, can be very refreshing. Our club works together, getting certain things accomplished. However; all of us learn the same thing at the same time. I’ve also learned you don’t have to be rewarded for every good thing you do in life, sometimes the most rewarding things are just doing it in the first place. And I participating in theaters and know that I am a helpful person when it comes to helping people remembering their lines. And also I worked at the church café and learned my leadership skills there as well I have also applied it everywhere I go.

Throughout my high school years, I gave myself many opportunities and challenges to demonstrate my worth as a leader. Of all these positions, the one I take pride in the most would be taking the lead role of directing a non-profit ACT organization. Together with my classmate, we had founded the organization to which I took charge of after he left to attend college. During my role as president of the ACT organization, my responsibilities included tutoring, finding teachers, organizing sign ups, as well as procuring space to hold classes.

Growing up in a small town, it is crucial that every individual get involved. This has pushed me to stay active in athletics, National Honor Society, student government, FFA, band, choir, play production, speech, and CYO. I take every organization I am involved with seriously and have earned some leadership positions: FFA News Reporter, Volleyball & Basketball Captain, Class President, and Student Council Member. It is an honor to hold these leadership positions and be a positive role model for the younger generation. I am able to support those younger than me and demonstrate a hard work ethic. By using my leadership and communication skills I have been able to influence teammates and fellow members to have a positive attitude

The President’s Leadership Academy at Bowling Green State University is a program that is made up of a diverse group of the strongest students at BGSU, who all have a passion towards helping others. The diversity of this group allows students in the PLA to reach all corners of the University. This far reaching inclusivity makes a large university feel more like home and a close knit community. The scholars in the PLA program also show strong leadership abilities and a drive to create a better place for everyone at BGSU and beyond. Through their leadership skills and their drive to help others PLA scholars make BGSU the home away from home for everyone.

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

I find myself to be a natural leader in service, community, education, and daily life. I have pushed myself in my schooling to ensure I was taking control of my own education. With my commitment to education I have been in charge of classes, service projects, and club events. This past year my teacher chose me to lead the beginning and intermediate chorus class while she is there and when she is absent. Having this responsibility makes me take my education and the education of the other students in that class. I have spent much of my own time that I could have spent on my other classes to ensure that everyone is understanding the material and prepared for performances. Being able to use my leadership skills to help others with music performance, theory, and other aspects has pushed myself further than I thought I could. Dealing with others that are my age and younger can become discouraged and aggravating at times, but I try to stay determined no matter what the circumstance I’m in. My determination has pushed myself to remain calm in situations and continue my service work no matter what the issue. My qualities that I have gained in high school, I feel have prepared myself to move to East Carolina University and hopefully into the Leadership Program. The Leadership Program is a place I feel I could thrive in the community and the

Wesleyan University Shelton leadership challenge will help me build the skill that are important in a leader. This program will help me strengthen the community around and also teach me skills that I will later pass to my peers once returning to school in August. The Shelton leadership program will help me prepare a self development plan the I can later use to help me in college and in life. This program will help me build relationships with kids around the world and help identify the leadership skill that I am strong in and the other that need more development. Academically I will benefit from from the goal orientation and decision making skills this camp will provide. Personally I will benefit from teamwork and public speaking. The goal orientation

Although this life-altering, experience serves as a catalyst for my desire to give back and make a difference, it was not until my leadership roles at Florida State that I understood true passion and humility. My junior year, I was honored to serve on the executive committee for Relay For Life at Florida State as the Panhellenic Recruitment Chair. Having little leadership experience and much trepidation, I knew this would be a challenge. Fortunately, the same semester I enrolled in a leadership course that provided me with the framework of effective leadership and gave me the motivation that I needed to excel. The various leadership tests, group activities and classroom conversations in this course and others, heightened my passion for not only leading and serving but accepting and appreciating the diversity that surrounds the world

According to John Quincy Adams “ If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and becoming more, you are a leader.” Throughout my years in Mater Academy East, I have always strive to get the best grades possible. While inspiring others to do the same. I have been a member of The Cat Network for a year. The Cat Network is a non-profit corporation that is dedicated to save animals from the wrong hands. This non-profit corporation has taught me a lot about the importance of communication, helping out the community, and working in a team environment. I plan to use all my experience to Inspire and help students to achieve their goals.

The first proposed change is to reduce the number of aircraft assigned to each AMU. I propose that we do this by limiting AMU’s to only 10 assigned Aircraft and 200 to 250 personal. In many squadrons this will require the stand up of a third AMU. Though this will require more SNCOs for AMU leadership positions. It will allow for the Junior NCOS to hold higher Supervisory level positions developing them into better NCOs. This will do two very important things in regards to managing Millennials and accomplishing the mission. The first is it will improve overall interpersonal communication between millennials and AMU leadership. Second, it will give the Junior NCO’s more developmental opportunities and make them better leaders, in addition to gaining their buy in to AMU decisions. This in turn, through improved communication will gain the Airman’s

Whether it be discovering a new interest or taking a chance on a new challenge, experience breeds understanding. You cannot truly understand anything until you have lived it. The summer after my junior year, I decided to join a volunteer organization entitled Youth United Way. Most people acknowledge the existence of problems within a community, but I did not truly understand these issues until I faced them first-hand. Whether it was raising money in order to buy books for families that could not afford them, or assisting children who originated from abusive households, I learned that not everybody has had the same opportunities that I have had. I was inspired after discovering that a little bit of help goes a long

Growing up down South, I did not have many academic opportunities, so, therefore, I participated in many clubs at school. To be a part of these clubs, there were certain requirements such as community service and a certain GPA. I have volunteered in several ways, but the main one that meant the most to me was being able to help my community by volunteering at the Community Center, educating and helping students engage in extracurricular activities that kept them interested in their academic courses. All of the clubs that I’ve participated in have always been to help my community inside and outside of school- not only do I volunteer my time to help those in need, but I also volunteer for many leadership roles. One leadership role that I find leaves a lasting impact is that of Boston Student Advisory Council, where I represent my high school and come up with innovative ways to better serve my
