Earl Kim- known as a previous superintendent /educator at several New Jersey schools, previously serving the U.S. Marine Corps and last serving as our headmaster at Kamehameha Schools - is one of my most inspirational leaders. I've known him for four years. When Mr.Kim first came to our school, a lot of people despised him because he wasn't Hawaiian. In making our school's twenty-five year plan, he incorporated a Hawaiian language proficiency test that students had to pass in order to graduate. To me, Mr.Kim saved our language; without this proficiency test, some students would graduate not knowing our Hawaiian language. Although he isn't of Hawaiian descent, he truly cares about the perpetuation of our culture. Not only is he a leader for strengthening our Hawaiian curriculum, but he is like my father figure. …show more content…
Mr.Kim would ask me how things were going not only in school but also in life, which gave me comfort knowing that I could trust someone who truly cared about my wellbeing. He shared his experiences of how he got to where he is and gave me advice from the mistakes that he had learned from, which helped me in decision making, such as choosing Pace as my future college; I greatly appreciated it. Mr.Kim's generous personality also makes me feel that he is a morally good leader because he upholds himself very virtuous and spends quality time getting to know each individual ambassador that is apart of our program. As our ambassador advisor, he taught us life lessons and passed down leadership skills that we applied to our life. I also feel that Mr.Kim is an outstanding leader because he applies himself not only to the school but also the community. He went with students to community service projects and worked in the community with our students; he also ran and swam with us during our community

Leadership Evaluation and Philosophy: An Appraisal of Angela Merkel’s Leadership during the Euro Crisis and My Leadership Philosophy
My leadership style is problem solver; this leadership style offers me the opportunity to utilize the knowledge and experience of my followers. I believe that I am more of this leadership style because I tend to accept input from group members when making decisions and solving problems. I do this because I feel that everyone in the group have something tangible to contribute to the group, and sometimes they might have access to key information that can help in my decision making. I take the information and put them together to use in reaching a decision, because I know that I will have the final say as the leader of the group. I believe that the group is put together
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is defined as, “a behavioral disorder characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity” (Harlacher, Roberts, & Merrell, 2006). A child with this disorder can seem off task, too excited, disorganized, or distracted. ADHD effects between three and five percent of children, which means teachers will more than likely come into contact with a child of this disorder. As mentioned by Harlacher in “Class wide Interventions for Students with ADHD”, teachers should become familiar with some interventions necessary for ADHD children. Individual interventions are beneficial, but class wide interventions allow all children to profit from the modifications. Although interventions typically have a negative connotation, ADHD interventions are helpful for everyone. Class wide interventions for ADHD may seem time consuming, but as well as being cost-effective, it allows the ADHD child to remain anonymous. Remaining anonymous is beneficial to the child because the other students will not know who required the change within the classroom. Class wide interventions benefit the entire class by allowing all children access to the modified classroom.

I have learned many lessons from Jack Welch on leadership. Jack Welch has been with the General Electric Company (GE) since 1960.
