Future Business Leaders

As the Business Professionals of America (BPA) emblem represents the fundamental ideals of ambition, leadership, sociability, and poise, I believe that I am fully qualified and have the experiences and skills necessary to execute the office of being Middletown High School’s Business Professional of America’s chapter president. This is not due to my academic achievements, nor the connections that I have with others chapters and prominent individuals in the state, but it is because of the pure ability that I want to rise the fundamental qualities in our members and provide them with the necessary opportunities. We can achieve this through building our connections with other chapters, volunteering with other major organizations, and fundraise

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

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is an organization that was founded on the principles of “service, education, and progress.” In FBLA we participate in community service activities, seminars, and competitive events that help individuals succeed in business.

I want to become a Bank of America student leader I want to be a good leader but also a true leader, which is a leader that leads by example. In able to help my community and to encourage fellow students like myself, I have to set the foundation and example for them. By participating in the Student Leaders program, I can learn to become a better person, but more importantly, a better leader. As a senior preparing for graduation, it is critical that I understand where I intend to head in life. With this program, I think that it can provide me with an even more clarity about my goals and aspirations. I believe I should be chosen to be a Bank of America Student Leader because with my diverse background and skills, I believe I can be a great addition

However, without proper management, leadership and global vision, this ideal can never be achieved. Business is the one field that invokes and teaches leadership as a lifestyle and brings all fields together to promote one goal. Without leaders to provide purpose, direction and collaboration, not even the smartest team can complete simple tasks. Ross nurtures leaders to help the world create solutions to complex problems such as global sustainability. The Sanger Leadership Center will help develop my core values and give skills to affect the world through unique challenges such as the Crisis Challenge. Surrounded by other students with similar goals but diverse mindsets and backgrounds through the LeaderX program allows for the development of a leadership style that does not merely work in all settings, but excels at stimulating the minds of everyone. I do not want to be the passive bystander while the world and my family face the sustainability crisis. I need to be raised into a global leader with strong values and purpose that can change the face of environmental issues and social impact. No longer will be the boy powerless to climate change. No longer will be the student helpless to others’ poverty. No longer will be the follower incapable of fostering

Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda is a nonprofit education association with a quarter million students preparing for careers in business and business-related fields. FBLA-PBL is headquartered in Reston, Virginia, and national levels. Business teachers, advisers, and advisory councils guide local chapters. State advisers and committee members coordinate chapter activities for the national organization.

Throughout my time as a young adult I have had countless amounts of people tell me that they see me as a leader. They told me that I have the traits and the skills of someone who can have success in leadership positions. Truthfully, I never really understood what they meant. I knew that I was a good public speaker, but I never really understood what else I had. In high school I was always put in leadership positions whether it was an officer of the National Honor Society or captain of my sport teams, but I never really understood what drove me to attain those positions. I continued my quest for leadership positions in high school with every student organization I joined. Whether it was Pi Kappa Phi fraternity or Dance Marathon I felt the need to prove to others that I can more than just a member, but a leader. It wasn’t until I took this class that I truly understood what made me a leader. Because of this class I was able to better understand what are my leadership traits, my leadership styles, and how I use those in order to attain and succeed in leadership positions. Throughout this paper I will explain how Career Leadership Academy allowed me to realize what made me a leader and analyze the ways to improve at my future leadership positions.

A leader must be dedicated to serving their community, which is something that FBLA has forever instilled in me. In less than two years, I have completed over 300 hours of diverse community service. I am a competitive swim coach at my local YMCA, where I have the privilege of helping young athletes achieve their goals. I enthusiastically participate in my local chapter’s community service events, such as the law enforcement appreciation dinner, Community Service Day, and Wildcat Christmas.

My own unique leadership experiences have shaped me over the years. Peer leadership and the Chick-fil-a Leadership Academy have offered me a wide variety of unique leadership experiences. I have learned so much from organizing charitable events, to teaching social skills to autistic and other special needs middle-schoolers and the ABCs and 123s to kindergartners. As a role as Varsity lacrosse captain allows me to mentor and share my experiences with other players. Last year, my advice helped a player decide not to quit the team.

Every single one of us sitting here today have at least one thing in common, we are all leaders. FCCLA gives us the opportunity to show people that we are the leaders of today. This organization demonstrates that when given the chance, young people are already leading change in their schools, homes, and communities. Leadership is a powerful tool that empowers students to take a stand and make a difference. Throughout our daily lives we are constantly given the chance to be a leader, whether

I am writing in order to state why I deserve the FBLA Future Business Leader award. I believe that I am a leader in my community in which can be shown through my volunteer and leadership experience in the past as well as the present.

From the Big Apple to the Wind City Lakeland High School FBLA traveled the 815 miles to attend the National Leadership Conference in Chicago Illinois. The National Leadership Conference is the biggest and most anticipated conference of the year and is also where members of FBLA have the opportunity to see who is the best of the best by competing in competitions that they qualified for at the State Leadership Conference. This year Lakeland High School FBLA had seven competitors competing in Future Business Leader, Parliamentary Procedure Team, Job Interview, Banking and Financial System and Help Desk. All our competitors spend a lot of hard work and dedication studying for their competitions unfortunately however our competitors fell short this year of getting on stage. Even though none of them placed at Nationals, Lakeland High School is proud of them making it as far as they did and the hard work they put into their competitions. In spite of that this year Lakeland High School had a lot to celebrate at the conference.
