Football Homecoming Personal Statement

Leadership is being able to guide other students into being the best they can be. I am a leader who is always positive and cheering others on to achieve their goals. At my school, I have a position as the Vice President of Academics in National Honors Society. Since I have obtained this position, I encourage other students in this group to participate in service projects which is where one volunteers to help out the community in some aspect. These volunteering opportunities are good thing to do because it builds character and it is always fun helping others out. As a leader, I bring new ideas to the table on where we should help out in the community and anything that we could do in school that would fun and helpful. Along with participating in National Honors Society at my school, I am also involved in our Student Government Association. Although I do not have a leadership position in this club, I still engage in the activities that we do. For the past two years, I have gone to an annual meeting for leadership where multiple schools attend. At this meeting there are fun activities where you learn more about leadership and how to be a good leader. As a leader, these meetings help because it is always good to learn new

“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 good leader inspires people to better themselves. I feel I am a good candidate for the National Honor Society because I have leadership experiences in refereeing youth soccer games, volunteering in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and taking Links, which is a class that helps students with autism in their classes. While referring children's soccer games I had to pick and choose the calls that I had to make so the kids could learn the game but also have fun playing the game. Even though some kids didn't like it, I had to be a sense of authority to them to make sure none of them got hurt when playing soccer. When I go to visit my little brother, for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, I help him with his homework, and also make it fun

I have demonstrated leadership in a several different ways. During middle school, I was a member of the National Junior Honor Society. In fact, I gave up a majority of my study halls to help out the advisor. I am currently a captain of my fall sport. Because I hold this position, I help the underclassmen during games, encourage them, and resolve conflicts. In addition to that, I used to be a teacher’s assistant to a second grade religious education class. Next year, I plan to join student government and maintain leadership positions.

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

My favorite thing about Key Club is having access to many community service event. I love volunteering within my community because it is people that I can relate with them living in the same area. I enjoy helping out at the elementaries schools because I have always wanted to be a teacher and being able to have the experience of helping at a school is my absolute favorite thing. I keep doing Key Club every year because I know whenever I help out at service events I have impacted someone with the help I’ve given

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

Throughout my high school career I have been a part of a wide variety of programs in which my leadership characteristics have been used and expanded. One program I have thoroughly enjoyed is the Jacksonville’s Mayor’s Young Leaders Advisory Council. From being on this council for two years, I have grown more than I imagined I would. I have been the chair for two committees, made business connections, gained experience in law, and been made open to other viewpoints. I have also lead in a more personal setting, as I was a preschool teacher at my church and have been a leader of community groups. What I have taken from being a leader is that it continually challenges you. Even if you may be an expert in your field, you will always find there is something new to experience and learn for yourself. To be a part of Florida Southern’s Honors Program would mean that I would not only get a one-of-a-kind experience in academics, but I would be shaped and well-rounded in leadership so I could excel in my

These men and women led the way to do what they have done, whether showing their leadership in the business world, the political landscape, or the high school classroom. I know that I have been a leader for my peers, just as they have been for me. When preparing for a presentation for the Delaware State Student Council, I found a quote by Tom Peters, a writer on business management principles, which really resonated with me. “Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders”. I have, since then, done what the quote says, and have built leaders in my peers and my friends. Leadership will continue to be a focal point of my character as a member of the Caesar Rodney National Honor Society, to better not just the people around me, but myself as

One of my favorite memories that I’ve is my freshman year of football. This is my favorite because we turned ourselves into a 1-8 8th grade team to an 8-1 freshman team. This is a good memory because we came together as a team instead of individuals. This all happened week 1 in August of 2012. One of our teammates shoes were thrown on top of the rafters in the main gym at East Noble High School. Coach Amstutz was told about the incident and the whole team was punished and was forced to run 2 miles.

I am applying for the Multicultural Leader scholarship because it will help me further my education to become a successful leader in the world after college. A leader to me is someone who is innovative, reliable, proactive, open minded, and responsible. While I am not the majority race at my school, I have still become a leader in my own way while still maintaining an exceptional GPA. Through my high school career, I have been learning how to become a more remarkable and prominent leader. Having a job teaching dance lessons to children has helped learn how to manage time, expand my patience, which are attributes a leader should have, while still having creative to help ways to help children learn. Another thing that has greatly helped with

As a member of multiple extra-curricular activities such as sports, I was greatly impacted by being led by upperclassmen, it is there where I noticed that leadership is a meaningful quality. Being able to lead requires a great deal of responsibility and honor.

It's always fun to do things I have done at other stages in my life and see different perspectives. I went to a high school football game. It's been years since I've done that. Took J, who I was excited to show how if he worked hard people could cheer for him. I'm just months shy of 30 and the coolest part of tonight for me was telling J to watch one the Tolton players check on and help up a player he tackled who was having trouble getting up from the opposing team. Sure talking to him about the running back chopping his feet or how the players don't sit when they aren't in, even on the sidelines, was good and important. But older me remembered that sportsmanship part, that lesson, more than anything else. Not sure, when I was in high school

Imagine if you were caught in a storm at the homecoming football game with a few friends and know jacket to wear only the clothes that you had on, witch I had my volleyball jersey on and leggings. That’s what this story is all about.

Kingman High School is considered a large Class 3A high school, with about 255 students. This may seem average compared to many other high schools, although, no matter how big or small the class sizes, leadership offices usually come natural to the popular students in the high school. I am not the most popular student in my high school, so I did not hold any leadership offices until my senior year. Despite this fact, I have been a leader in my school the past four years, even if it was “behind the scenes.” Leadership doesn’t mean being class president all four years, it means being the best role model for others as possible. If I were to give advice to someone who is assuming a leadership position for the first time, I would tell them to obtain
