La Mirabia Leadership

First of all, character is an abstract evaluation of integrity, for it is the sum of one's qualities and actions. ; Character is not defined by what you did one time, but by what you do all the time and is therefore an essential manifestation of who you are. I am a person who takes criticism willingly and accepts recommendations graciously, meaning that if there is something I can improve, I will do whatever it takes in order change it. I take things constructively in a positive way. I demonstrate the highest standards of honesty and reliability by always telling the truth and by keeping my promises. I actively help rid of the negative influences in school by telling others to never skip class and always do their work.

The geographical proximity and history of political ties between Brazil and Argentina lend a hand to the fruition of ideologically parallel presidential regimes during the 1940s and 1950s. Brazil’s economy found itself in trouble after coffee and agricultural exports, on which much of the economy depended, sharply declined during the Great Depression. Getulio Vargas, who was the acting president from 1930 to 1945 and for a second term in 1951 until his death, helped to reform and support the Brazilian people under a populist regime. In 1954, Vargas committed suicide after a lackluster three years back in office, leaving a note that spoke to his constituency’s deep-seeded admiration for Vargas’ charismatic leadership. In Argentina, a fear of

The workplace is rapidly changing and becoming more diverse culturally, demographically, and racially. In an environment that is changing so rapidly, organizations are seeking leaders that are trustworthy, can decrease uncertainty, and possess cultural intelligence (Ploumis-Devick, 2017). As leaders, we must increase our understanding in order to adapt our style of leadership to be better equipped to lead in this changing environment. Expanding our awareness, knowledge, and skills is one-way leaders will be more prepared and ready to lead effectively.

Growing up, I have been an individual who has pushed myself beyond the minimum requirements in order to succeed. In high school I excelled in both academics and athletics. I graduated in the top 10% of my class and lettered in hockey and tennis my sophomore, junior, and senior year. I worked hard and put in extra time in order to set myself apart from others. Succeeding in both school and athletics made me a responsible, reliable, and an organized individual. These experiences made me a versatile individual and have given me a work ethic that has benefited me with my academics in college and with my work and volunteer experiences.

I’ve been lucky enough to have experienced a tremendous amount of success and opportunity throughout my life. I had always performed well in school, I took advanced courses, I got into the private high school my mother went to, and because my parents owned a little Thai restaurant since I was four, I had an extracurricular that taught me people skills and offered me more work experience than any of my peers had. When I realized that I was exceeding the expectations of my parents and those around me, I became content with not reaching my full potential. It was until much later that I realized that adopting that mindset was where I went wrong. When my high school decided not to accept me into the National Honor Society during my junior year, I was devastated.

It takes a lot to be a leader. It takes experience, communication, positivity, passion, and much more to be an effective leader. Communication, positivity, and passion are the three most important characteristics to me. I represent all three of these with great pride. I communicate effectively whether it be in the classroom, on

My moms raised me with a strong set of morals, including “hard work pays off.” Sometimes this can be discouraging when you work hard, but it doesn’t pay off as you’d like it to. I’ve always gotten the grades I strive for without much struggle. However, once high school started, everything changed. I’d work for weeks on a scholarship essay, and I wouldn’t even place. I’d work for months to get something published and then read other people’s names in the congratulations announcement. I’d constantly wonder: Who’s at the top of the class? Who’s going to win the end of year awards? When you consistently get the grades that I do, people just expect those grades. No one congratulates you on your hard work anymore, and you don’t always get recognized. Despite the lack of recognition, I still take pride in my grades, and continue to work hard. Getting great grades is something I know I can do, even when it’s difficult to do. The difficulty makes it even more satisfying when I see the hard work pay off, and I get the grade I wanted. I’ve encountered

Through my experiences, especially in basketball and my classwork, I have been able to be exposed to new things and apply my skills elsewhere in my life. In both sports and school, I have had to work with different people with different mindsets, but have come together as a cohesive team. Even if the team struggled, I still pushed through and did what was necessary for our success. Despite being discouraged at times by failure, I came right back and moved on to the next challenge. High School has helped me develop into a leader; I work towards a goal and help others that are in for the

At Norwalk Community High School, I am in the Top 12% of my class, earned a cumulative GPA of 3.6, received an Academic Bar and Honor Roll for past 3 years, and inducted into the National Honor Society. I have challenged myself in the classroom by taking several AP and community college classes which at this time I have earned 18 college credits. Outside of the classroom, I am involved in several activities: Football, Basketball, Tennis and Concert/Marching Band. I have lettered in Football and Basketball for the past 3 years, Tennis

I can’t lie I used to be just good grades and always telling myself ‘’I can’t do this or that’’. However, I started to do more extracurricular activities and found that I could do much more if I put my mind to it. Now I am a honor student that

I have, honestly, always performed to my best ability in all of my classes and I will continue to strive for excellence at Bishop Noll. I am very motivated and extremely hardworking in the classroom. My elementary and middle school grades on a difficult scale and is very competitive, but I have always managed to get high grades. My two older brothers have always motivated me to perform my best in school, and if I didn’t have them to push me I definitely would not have the self-determination and stamina that I do now. I have been on A or A-B honor roll for as long as I can remember but that is not because I am gifted or extraordinary, it is because I work extremely hard, have had excellent examples and teachers, and am incredibly motivated. I am very proud of the grades I have gotten and the work that I have done at my current school, and I look forward to achieving all of the goals that I have for myself in high

Discipline is the most useful quality. It means to act in an orderly manner, to act strictly according to principle.

Upon entering high school, I made a goal to myself: I wanted to become a better version of myself, realizing my own strengths and weaknesses and, ultimately, preparing to be a part of a completely different atmosphere beyond high school and even college. From the beginning, I knew I was going to find a way to improve academically, as a member of Kingsway’s STEM Academy and Superintendent’s List throughout my high school career. However, I would never think that I, as an eighth grader, would ultimately rise above my classmates, eventually being third in my class freshman year and still enjoying the rigor of taking as many AP and Honors classes as I possibly could fit in my schedule. By being recognized and awarded for my achievements, I finally realized that being this type of student, one that strives to do the best and remains self-motivated no matter what difficulties are faced, gives me a purpose as student and overall enjoyment.

How can I be better than others? I was asking myself when I was at school. I did my high school in my country, Cameroon.It is one of the best school of my city. At the beginning, it was very difficult for me, my grades were bad and I thought I was not going to succeed.My parents used to beat me because of bad grades.My mother , who was a teacher , played an important role in that step of my studies. She talked to me a lot and gave me advices. I finally found that without organization, participation and a routine, you cannot succeed at school.
