During my sophomore year at Miami Dade College, I decided to run as the President of Phi Beta Lambda, which alongside Future Business Leaders of America is considered the largest career student organization in the world. I had the purpose of reaching and encouraging students, including Biology, Engineering, and Journalism majors to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that this organization offers every year. However, in order to do a successful job, I had to work as a team player alongside my club’s advisor and the rest of the officers. Our major project was to make the state and national conferences affordable to a broader range of students and prepared them for the competitive events.
For those who were accepted into the Freshman Leadership Council, I am so happy for you! You are going to have an amazing time I really do wish you all the best of luck. For those who got denied, I was in your boat last year. I was a hot mess when I was rejected, and yes, I even cried. It’s natural to be disappointed regarding your decision notice, but being denied does not mean you are not a leader or be one! A lot of people who were denied from FLC have gone on a have done amazing things here at
Chino Hills High School has an amazing leadership and ASB program. The students and staff promote positivity in every activity that they host for CHHS. On January 11th, the Chino Hills High School leadership and ASB did an amazing activity where they invited another leadership group called CASL (California Association of Student Leaders). Leadership and ASB connected with CASL to help motivate some middle school leadership students who are incoming freshmen. The CHHS leadership students had an opportunity to not only motivate the middle students to become better leaders, but to also allow them to participate in some fun activities. They did many activities such as, wrapping themselves in newspaper and trying to create the best out of something
Leadership within higher education organizations is essential to the functioning and success of the establishment. Leadership practices can vary depending on the type of higher education organization and the issue or goal at hand. The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate the best leadership practices in support of veterans continuing their education at a community college. The review of Bolman and Deal’s organizational frames and the relation to transformational leadership, exemplary leadership, and integrative leadership will determine the best leadership practices for supporting veteran education.
As it was at the onset of my Vice Presidency, about ninety percent of NPHC’s members were seniors. And seemingly these members were unmotivated. Even on such a small campus like The Tampa University campus, the members lacked the cohesiveness that it would take for the council to be successful. As the council’s new leader, I saw it my duty to help our members reach the highest, fullest, and best potentials, possible.
This afternoon I had a conversation with Matthew De Jesus’s grandmother regarding Matthew not finishing his exit ticket on time, so I kept him in UD. I also let his grandmother know that Matthew received a correction in Science because he was being disruptive in class by humming. This I called mom earlier in the afternoon to follow up about the conversation that I had with his grandmother.
With over two years working on the executive board of the Alpha Kappa Delta Sociology Honors Society at Flagler College, I possess an overall knowledge of what it means to manage a program successfully. During my time as vice president, I gained hands on experience facilitating and executing events and meetings, being a part of a team, working with undergraduates, and recruiting new members. Additionally, my time as a youth specialist intern at the Boys and Girls Club allowed me to gain
Several months ago, a student with three years of experience in ASUU—Jack Bender—created the SLC party while running for Student Body president. His campaign, hinging mainly upon reducing the fiscal allocations to various departments, promised to reduce student fees and increase transparency. Since the inauguration ceremony on April 27th, there have been indeed been notable changes under his leadership, with the aid of several new leaders.
A strong leader that I would admire as a young student was my middle school ELL teacher. I would always admire this teacher because he was such a tremendous leader. I can still remember it clearly as if it was yesterday, he would tell us how to do our homework step by step. He would make sacrifices such as staying after school just to help my classmates and so that I could understand the material more. The way he treated us made me have a strong desire to be a good leader to my classmates and to others. In order to have a better leadership, you need to demonstrate good leadership behaviour. It’s important for each of us to identify our strengths and weakness to determine the good leadership skills that we have.
As a former employee as a cashier at Walmart, I had to meet strict expectations. It did not matter if I was sick or tired. I had to work 32 hours a week. I had to get hundreds of customers out the door and I had to scan at least 800 items per hour. Most importantly I had to do it all with I smile. I always did. I am a strong believer in hard work and putting other people's needs before your own. To sit and wait for the day to be over, for your bed to rest in, is no way to live. But to take every last ounce of your energy and put it towards another, that is something to take pride in. As a part of the Freshman Leadership program I would try my best to involve myself in order to be an affective contributor to the organization.
Recently I had the opportunity to go to the National Student Leadership Congress (NSLC) in Washington D.C. to represent my Upward Bound program at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. While at the NSLC they split us up into groups of roughly eleven students from across the country. These groups are to work together and create a mock bill based on topic provided to them and present it in front of a mock congress. When they split us up and I got to meet the people in my group I just thought right away that this situation was not going to work. We all come from different parts of the country, our ideas are different, our political parties are conflicting, and our personalities are very dissimilar in several aspects. It would take a miracle
As a young woman in the United States of America I believe that it is vital we learn to involve ourselves in our communities and understand the logistics of the government. I believe that the involvement of the Student Leadership Advisory Council would prepare me for future jobs involving government and involvement in my community. At John Paul II High School, I am a leader of the Ambassadors club. I serve and assist incoming freshman and their families as they decide on the decision of attending JPII. I enjoy advising and leading others in my school and community. When I was in fourth grade leading into eighth grade, I fell in love with helping special needs children. It has been an interest that I will want to pursue for the rest of my life.
As children, we are encouraged to be leaders; to be people that make a difference in the world and have the courage to be catalysts for change. Being on Howard University’s campus allows one to witness first hand this embodied virtue of leadership. Taking action both on and off campus, students exemplify leadership through their ability to organize and seek reform in order to truly embody the essence of the “Mecca” as well as serve and inspire the greater community around us.
As someone who attended three different high schools, as well as an out-of-state student for UTD, I have had a multitude of experiences changing schools and adjusting to new environments. Through these experiences, I have developed a resilient attitude towards challenges and a desire to help those going through similar problems. My friends have often described me as an older sister/mom of our group because I tend to be a support network for them, especially as someone who gives advice. Furthermore, through my leadership experiences both at UTD and high school, I am comfortable talking with people and act as a leader to those around me. I enjoy helping others around me and believe that I would serve as a good mentor for incoming freshman.
For my final exam project in teen leadership class, the idea that pop up first in my head was volunteer at my church for the free truck. I was a member of the Vietnamese Youth. As a member of this group, we do many volunteering and activities. The one that I did for my final project is the latest activity that I’ve attended. It was on a sunny Saturday, me and my dad drive us to the church early and there wasn’t many people at that time. As I patiently waited for other people come, I helped the elders preparing the tables and chairs. After that, the truck come with full of foods. As the guys bring the foods down from the truck, we bring it to the table and put it in the bags. Unfortunately, there aren’t so many people coming to take it. We giving away as much as we can and bring home some of it. Since, many people didn’t come we have to throw away all the left over to the trash.
