Has anyone ever been part of something that you are so passionate about, you want to be a leading role? I have been an active member of a nationwide organization called Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America, or FCCLA, since my freshman year. The leadership opportunities involved in this club are endless, including offices from the local level all the way to the national level. During my sophomore year, I attended not only State Leadership Conference, but National Leadership Conference as well. It was there, in San Diego, California, that I decided that I wanted to run for a state office. When we got back to school for the start of my junior year, I approached my Family and Consumer Science teachers, Mrs. Embry and Mrs. Minton. …show more content…
We were told to go to a luncheon at 12:00 on the second day of the conference, and once again, I got there early to make sure I could chat before and get to know how everyone was doing. When we went into the luncheon room, my friend, Morgan, sat with me and the people we were meeting. The discussions were mostly based on FCCLA matters including: how we could get all the members from each region involved, how to make the weaker regions stronger, fundraising ideas to introduce to chapters, etc. The main reason the luncheon is so important is because it helps the Voting Delegates get to know you as a person and see how you respond on the spot.
Directly after the luncheon, I was to report to the top floor of the Galt House for interviews. This was one of the most stressful parts of the whole process. They could ask me any question they wanted, based on my résumé, the handbook, or any question that they could think of. They asked me if I had the time to be a state officer, since I was so involved in many other organizations. Another question was when FHS was changed to FCCLA. I had no idea, and I got so flustered and could feel the sweat running down my body. I came up with the answer, “I am not really sure of that answer, but I will be sure to go look that up in my handbook.” They complimented me on my answer choice and we moved on. After I finished with the interviews, I had 3 hours until I had my on-stage
Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs and organizations to help me become a leader in my community. At Auburn High School I took on the role of being a Publicist officer for National Technical Honors Society the first two consecutive years that it became a part of our school. I gained a lot of leadership experience through this club. Implementing a new organization is never easy and takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the leaders of the club. By being a part of a very helpful, dedicated and motivated team, we helped affiliate all the eligible members into the club and in turn helped introduce this new club to the school. As publicist my role in helping the club grow was crucial; I helped in publicizing the clubs various projects and involvement.
A time I held a leadership position was this year for DECA. I was an involved member of DECA as a freshman, and I had been thinking of running for the vice president position as a sophomore. What really solidified my reservations was when the DECA teacher, Mrs. McGhee, asked me to run for an office. She told me that she noticed I was an invested member and that I would be a good asset to the board. I was so thankful she made this comment because that position in DECA was one of the things that really sparked my interest in leadership, and it helped me to learn more about how I lead. I was stressed at first because I was the first underclassman to ever be in a DECA officer position. When I showed up to the first officer meeting the next year,
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 my resume indicates, I have worked in leadership positions locally and internationally. I have worked hard to strengthen and develop the leadership skills needed to succeed. My experience is broad — from competing in speech tournaments to teaching
Throughout my school years, I have always tried to be a positive role model for younger students as well as my peers. This year I decided that the best way to serve my school was to participate in our school’s Student Leadership Council. It has proven to be a fantastic decision for me. I succeeded in getting the most votes out of all of the candidates and have had a great experience taking a leadership role in my school. I feel like I have become a much better leader and role model because of Student Leadership Council. I have been really fortunate to be exposed to the Jeter’s Leaders program, since they come to our school to mentor us as SLC members. It has been an incredible experience, and I would really love to continue with it. As an eighth grader at Saint Augustine, we are required to mentor our younger students. I
I never thought I would someday become a role model to nearly 12,000 Missouri high school students. These students are not any ordinary students; they are members of an organization that is truly the ultimate leadership experience. This organization is known as the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) and is a student led organization, based off of family and consumer sciences education. FCCLA has given me unbelievable opportunities! But of all of the opportunities this organization has provided me with, serving as a FCCLA state officer has definitely been the best. However, becoming a state officer wasn’t easy and required a long process.

As a secretary for the Turlock FFA chapter, I consider myself a leader. I have a taken a leadership position that has expanded my knowledge of how a leader should be and how to take responsibility. I have influenced other members from my school to participate in events and attend meetings. I have shown them what I learned and how I applied it to my everyday life. I also learned that I can improve and better myself from trying an experience that would take me out of my comfort zone. It was a little challenging adapting and keeping up with the events and
As I was growing up, I naturally looked for ways to help my community. It was an concept that I was extremely fond and passionate about at an early age. Through this, leadership came easily and almost inherently. When high school came I emerged myself within the wide variety of activities. It was just an effortless tendency. I loved being involved, therefore I got myself involved. As a freshmen, I was at the bottom and I watched in amazement of how the upperclassmen led with such confidence and drive. I aspired to be like them one day. With this large desire to make my mark in my small community, I naturally took on leadership roles because I wanted to make an impact, a lasting impact. John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others
The best answer is A and C. As medical information and technology increases, demand for complicated procedures is increasing, and providers are becoming more and more specialized (and fragmented). The burden of disease is shifting toward chronic conditions.
Prior to completing Skip Downing’s “On Course Self Assessment,” I was starting to realize one of my most sabotaging behaviors. I find it incredibly difficult to say a three-word phrase. When it comes to assisting others, I have no problem lending a helping hand, but I cannot tell anyone that “I need help.” In writing this paper I hope to recognize the roots of my problem and adopt a plan to aid me in overcoming this negative behavior.
