Importance Of Leadership

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

When working in a group to finish something such as a yearbook, everyone needs to be involved and willing. It wouldn’t be much of a team effort if a few worked hard while the rest laid back! I should be on yearbook staff because I want everyone to have a fair role. When saying I have a skill of leadership I don’t mean always just taking on a leading role. I think it includes mental leadership too. Making sure everyone feels like what they’re doing is important; seeing if anyone needs extra help or is stuck on a page. The yearbook

The President of the Student Council. The drum major of the marching band. The founder of the biggest club at school. All of these positions involve organizing, interacting with, and motivating a large amount of people and just scream “LEADERSHIP!” However, this wasn’t the right kind of leadership for me; I’m not the type to get up and speak in front of a big group of people or give grandiose motivational speeches, but I still wanted to be helpful to others nonetheless.

Leaders are someone that can be a positive influence in anyone’s life. Leaders are someone that people look up to and remember that person throughout his or her lives. The leader

Throughout my high school years, I gave myself many opportunities and challenges to demonstrate my worth as a leader. Of all these positions, the one I take pride in the most would be taking the lead role of directing a non-profit ACT organization. Together with my classmate, we had founded the organization to which I took charge of after he left to attend college. During my role as president of the ACT organization, my responsibilities included tutoring, finding teachers, organizing sign ups, as well as procuring space to hold classes.

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

One of the first real leadership positions I ever had at my school was in the Hillcrest Hospital Helpers Club. I became a member my first year at Hillcrest as a sophomore and became immediately interested in their purpose as a school club. While it may sound cliché, the members of the club, and especially the leaders, wanted to make a difference through their service. We would at least monthly participate in creating art crafts and activities for the children at Shriner’s Hospital and then deliver it to them. While it may not seem much to the average person, the happiness on the children’s faces was worth all of our efforts and more.

Throughout the duration of my life, roles of leadership have influenced my stance towards my major, most notably my role in the Girl Scouts of America. Committing to Girl Scouts for thirteen years has given me ample opportunities to positively impact others. It has also given me real world scenarios in which I had the chance to resolve disputes, interact with diverse people, and contribute to several projects that bettered my community. I take pride in my time with the Scouts, as it not only benefitted me by personally transforming me into a young professional with a strong work ethic and morals, but it allowed me to help others and work on understanding the world around me. My most significant and rewarding project involved conducting research

I was always volunteering for class representative. I loved how I was helping the school and creating positivity for everyone else in the school. Although this may not compare to what ASB does for our school, I have experience that I could use that to influence my actions to produce an encouraging school tone. Another experience I have in leadership is in my camping group. I was in a YMCA dad-and-daughter camping program and for one of the years I was involved my father and I were in charge of the 300 person group. My job was to help the other girls and create entertaining activities for everyone to enjoy. I also planned many things such as; the general activity theme for each campout, how to make everyone feel welcomed and included, and the locations for the campsite. I also rewarded and identified good behavior and helped create new friendships with the people in our program. These leadership experiences are one of the reasons why I am a good fit for

Yearbook has made me love learning; to be part of the staff you have to learn every part of the making the book, which includes: learning how to use computer software and programs, photography, interviewing, writing and marketing. Just seeing how much I have learned in a few months is amazing, it encouraged me to want to keep learning. In college and medical school I’ll be learning an immense amount of information, which might sound scary to other students, but to me it’s exciting. Secondly, I learned time management. In yearbook we can have up to 20 deadlines within the school year. It’s very critical for everyone as a team to meet the deadline or there won’t be a yearbook. As the yearbook design editor I inquire more responsibilities to make sure that the design elements are carried throughout the book and that everyone gets their design done on time.In the same way, physicians also inquire an abundance of responsibilities in the hospital, making sure that everything that needs to be completed is done accuratly in a certain amount of time . Lastly, I learned how to talk to people; my yearbook adviser always told me that “you’ll never get a good story out of the interviewee if they are not comfortable with you.” With that I had to learn how to make strangers become comfortable with me. In a similar way physicians need to have a stable relationship with their patients, where the patient feel comfortable enough to tell their doctor everything. Studies have shown that many patients don't tell their doctor everything mainly because of the comfort level they share. The information that patients to don’t give to their doctors could be a big factor in their health. In order for physicians to receive that vital information they need to be able to create that comfort ability for their

As a kid living in the mountains of Tahoe, I was a passionate leader. I attended an Expeditionary Learning school that primarily focused on exploring the outdoors, which required both strong leadership and grit. As the captain of my class, I paved the way on the numerous outdoor adventures. In the present day, I continue along that same vein as a leader of my water polo team. I help

In my five years at the Goddard School, I held the roles of an assistant, lead, substitute, and co-teacher; filling in wherever necessary. I would say that the best moment to date that demonstrates my leadership ability came at the at the end of this past summer. One preschool teacher has a family emergency that she needed to attended to. She was unable to start the new school year but would return in a month. My supervisor explained the situation and asked if I would be willing to step into the role. Working successfully with the current assistant teacher in the room and being familiar with the kids, I was the first choice in filling the position.

My leadership experience is a major component of my competence as an individual. As one who volunteers throughout the community, I am a role model for my younger peers. I volunteer at the local library, helping to care for the books and organizing the facility, and at University Christian Church, making prayer beads, which are distributed at the local hospital to those in need. I have also served as front ensemble section leader in the Colt marching band for two years.

Throughout my years of high school, I have demonstrated the leadership, service, and character. Both inside of school and within my community, I have found ways to express these qualities in productive ways. Although I show my qualities in everyday life, my characteristics of leadership and service shine brighter at times. While I am directing the Digital Multimedia Club, I get a chance to utilize my leadership skills to their fullest extent and to improve upon them. While doing volunteer work or other helpful activities, I work hard to serve my community so that I can make it a better place.

Leading diverse groups of people is what I do best. Whether it is a sports team, an organization or a small team within a company, I have always been able to diligently lead others in order to ensure the success of the team, organization, or company. For the past eight I have actively been in some form of leadership role whether it was being the President of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity, the Captain of Franciscan University Men’s Lacrosse team, the Owner/ Manager of a small business, or the Group Leader of a research team.
