Junior Leadership Program

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.

The day I had been contemplating finally arrived. I was required to complete a placement test in order to determine what level I was on in the grounds of academics. This, as I had wished, is what led to me being accepted into an AP chemistry course. In less than a week of starting the chemistry course I was top of the class and in my natural character of helping others helped my classmates at any time that they asked for help or clarification on a certain topic. This attitude to help others in itself is what helped me forge friendships with not only the students but the teachers as well.

A JROTC leader needs to be ready to provide guidance, direction, and instruction to their subordinates. They also need to be ready to accept all the responsibilities that come with being a leader. The leader should be responsible, organized, respectful, able to communicate effectively, and able to work with others. I believe these are some of the traits found and needed in a good leader; I’m confident that I am ready to be a JROTC leader.

I’m a smart, hardworking, determined, courageous, and generous individual. Unfortunately, during my 9th-grade year at Hyde Leadership Charter School, I didn’t display these characteristics. I faced challenges such as missing class time because I was in the Dean’s Area and serving detention. But I am a student who wants to grow and become a great leader. Over the summer I figured out that there was no way I could be both a leader and a troublemaker, so I decided to make a change. I decided to hang out with other people, leaving my old group of friends behind. I’ve found a group of friends that could support me, help me grow, and helped me

In seventh grade I was a candidate for Team Cougar Representative. The two weeks we had to campaign were the longest two weeks of my life. I worked so hard making posters and trying to impress everyone to get the maximum amount of votes. I ran against several sweet girls and close friends, which was very stressful and emotional for me. Even though I had fears of losing, I didn’t let anything stop me. While I endeavored this new goal, I realized all the love and support I receive from my family and friends and it’s because of their encouragement that I am where I

I had become field commander of our marching band, I was the 2015 Hancock County Jr. Fair Queen, my mom got a new job as a teacher’s aid (which at the time she didn’t know she’d end up hating it, but for now she’s happy.), and I could finally say I was truly happy with the way things were going. The thought of being a senior scared but excited me at the time. I have gone to Liberty-Benton for thirteen years and am the fourth generation to graduate from L-B. I was so ready to finally begin a new journey as a high school graduate and a college freshman.

Summer going into my junior and senior year, I volunteered to help the Pop Warner Pewee cheer team. The cheer team had one paid coach and a couple of volunteers. The coach was my coach my sophomore year of high school, so she had asked me to help the team out, so I did. They had practice two to three times a week for two hours and I went to most all of them. I helped the team tremendously because I have had a lot of cheerleading experience and unlike the coach, I am young, and I am able to demonstrate certain things to the girls that the coach can’t. The whole cheer team and the coach benefited from me volunteering my time and skills. They benefited by having someone who’s is experienced in stunting. My friend and I showed them different techniques and skills to do to benefit the stunting.

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.

This fall, a freshman approached me after cross country practice. Having never met or spoken to her before, she told me that she recognized me from the freshmen class orientation that I had led a few days earlier as a coordinator for Link Crew. She continued to thank me for organizing it and confessed that going through the program I coordinated made her feel at home at the high school, and even inspired her to go out for cross country. Comments like these are what I love and remember most about leading Link Crew, our school’s freshman mentoring program. I strive to spark a passion in those I lead, from the freshman at orientation to the tutoree struggling through math homework. Seeing a face light up with curiosity and excitement makes my

Some of my favorite memories made in high school thus far are due to my involvement in the Best Buddies program. Best Buddies is offered across the United States and is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending the exclusion of people with special needs. I joined the program my freshman year and was selected my junior year of high school to be in the Best Buddies class where I get to develop a closer relationship with all of the buddies. In total there are about twenty-five special needs kids that attend my school. I am proud to attend a school that welcomes these kids and always makes sure to include them in major school events and extracurricular activities. Recently, Tyler, one of the buddies, scored a touchdown while playing with our varsity football team. This was a proud moment for the Best Buddies class because we wanted him to have this amazing experience.

Over the years I have encountered many road blocks, none of which I hadn’t been able to overcome. My freshman year I had been cut from the volleyball team after working so hard over the summer to improve my skills. I admit, I felt extremely put down by this turn of events but if that had never happened, I wouldn’t have found the sport I love more, cross country. On top of that, I received and application for National Honors Society last year, and I was ecstatic. However, when I didn’t quite make it in, there was a determination in me to find a way to better improve the skills required to qualify to be a part of this amazing group of people. Those events shaped my character deeply. I also had the amazing opportunity to go on a mission trip to

I had heard about the cross country team but I didn’t know anyone who was a part of it. The cross country team was full of girls who were welcoming and shared the same passion for running as me. I was putting in a lot of time into this team, from long practices everyday and meets every Wednesday and Saturday, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I was able to mentor the younger members on the team and share my love for running with them. After being a part of this team for three years, together, we have won three consecutive senate championships and developed a bond like no other.

During the high school summers, I worked on a country club golf course. My job mainly consisted of greeting the members as they came to golf, clean their clubs, and wash the carts. I was basically the face of the country club golf operations. Many members are regular golfers whom come by the club multiple times a week. Through the years, I met and formed really close friendships with a select few members. These members collectively decided to take me under their wing. This was around the time I was applying for colleges. Through our many conversations, and learning about their lives (they are both in the business field), I changed my intended major from chemistry to finance, and switched my intended school from the out-of-state University of Michigan to the in-state Indiana University. These men have influenced my life so significantly, I would not be where I am today without them. Because of this experience, I hope to mentor an ambitious, young student one day.
