Right now I am almost halfway through my senior year of high school, I am attending Laurel Concord Coleridge High School in Nebraska. I live in a small town called Coleridge. I have participated in volleyball, basketball, and track all through high school, I feel like I have demonstrated leadership skills in sports and in the classroom. In sports I am always trying to encourage my teammates and make sure they know what to do. If one of my teammates comes up and asks me a question I am always more than happy to answer it for them. I have also demonstrated these particular skills in the classroom. If I am in a group for a group project I make sure everyone knows what their part is in the assignment. I also help students who ask for it on their homework. Whether it is a teammate or another student …show more content…
I kept going door to door to help as many people as I could. I did not start picking up my own yard until I had helped all of my neighbors. Right now, it is very hard to tell that a tornado truly hit. I believe that I’ve achieved my goal of helping make our town spotless. I have weaknesses that I am not necessarily proud of. My weakness is adaptation. I haven haven't been put in a situation where I would need to adapt. I have lived in the same place and gone to the same school my whole life. However, I feel that I could overcome my weakness when I go to college because it will be different. I also have certain strengths. I am very hard working. Throughout high school I have had 3 jobs. I use the work skills I have developed from these jobs and transfer them into my schoolwork. I work hard to get my work done on time and done right. I will use these hard working skills once I get to college as well. I want to go to college so I can get a respectable job and not need worry about money as much. I want to live comfortably. I do not think that I could live comfortably if I do not go to
I have best demonstrated my leadership ability on my schools track and field team. When I first joined the team my freshman year, I never thought I would develop a leadership role on the team. As a rookie to the sport, my only focus was performing my best and having fun; developing a leadership role never crossed my mind. It was my sophomore year that I developed a sense of leadership. As I was now a returner, I now
I was part of the Air Cadets, a program to help the youth with leadership and teamwork skills, I showed my leadership skills by raising money for my squadron. Air Cadets allowed me to take part in my own community. I am active in many sports such as; golf, tennis, table tennis, soccer. I also enjoy playing chess with my brother and father and I enjoy skiing and skating during the winter time. At school, I try to enjoy it instead of seeing it as a stressful job, I make sure that even if I have stress, I can deal with it calmly and effectively. I easily understand concepts and learn new things quickly which will benefit me if I miss a month of school for this program. I usually do my assignments beforehand so that I have time to add any final touches and have it edited by my peers and teachers. I show my leadership in many different ways. I take the initiative of helping teachers, my fellow students and my parents. I help
Chamblee, GA is a small city outside of the metro Atlanta area that is characteristically different racially and ethnically than everything around it. The Hispanic population stands at 58.5% of the total population as of 2010, but in Atlanta and Georgia more broadly, this population only makes up 5.2% and 8.8% respectively. Additionally, only 7% of Chamblee’s population is Black, whereas this group is 54% of Atlanta’s population and 30.5% of Georgia’s. However, my alma mater, Chamblee Charter High School, stood out from the city itself being an amalgamation of a magnet program and a charter public school, bringing in students from around the county with significant representation from the Chamblee area as well. Consequently, the school’s
I have demonstrated the qualities of a capable and trusted leader through my involvement in my school, work, and community activities. I have held a part-time job at my church's daycare where I help create a safe, loving, caring, and nurturing learning environment for children of the ages zero to five. All the while, I have continued to be an active member in school functions and be in leadership positions in various clubs. Currently, I am serving as the District 17 FBLA President and the President of Northeast Vernon County's National Honor's Society Chapter. I have also been involved with sports throughout my high school years where I also demonstrated leadership abilities serving as our cheerleading Captain last year and Co-Captain the year
I have taken Pre-AP classes since the sixth grade, have maintained high A’s throughout my school life, and as of now I have a 4.25 GPA. In addition to this, I believe myself to be a leader, because I am a good problem solver and an idea contributor. For example, as an officer in my choir class, I generate problems we may come to and how we can overcome them when planning events. I make sure everyone pitches in, because I believe leadership is not about one person, but the whole group in a team
I have demonstrated leadership in a several different ways. During middle school, I was a member of the National Junior Honor Society. In fact, I gave up a majority of my study halls to help out the advisor. I am currently a captain of my fall sport. Because I hold this position, I help the underclassmen during games, encourage them, and resolve conflicts. In addition to that, I used to be a teacher’s assistant to a second grade religious education class. Next year, I plan to join student government and maintain leadership positions.
Additionally, in my projects, both in and out of school, I have always thrived to be a good leader that fits what my group or team needs. I step up when it is needed, and I always try
Since I was a young boy, I have always been a leader in my community. My mom worked as a teacher, so when school let out, I normally would have to come to Person and wait for my mom to take me home. While waiting for her, I would roam around the school and help out however I was needed (although since I was so young, I could not really do much). Over the years, my sense of helpfulness continued to grow, and it began to show. However, I believe I hit my first (of many) high points during Teachers would ask me if I could help them out in an assortment of different events, ranging from helping to set up band concerts, or helping man a station during the Fall Festival. Also, I joined the National Junior Honor Society in my 6th grade year, and
This has kept me out of many of the elected leadership positions in our school. However, there are many other ways that I exemplify my role as a leader. One of these ways is by being a part of athletics. I have always felt like a leader in this environment, as I have always exceeded at sports. As an underclassman, I would be the one who helped out with cleaning up, and pushed my teammates to get better. Being apart of these smaller groups allows me to feel more comfortable when leading others. I also lead the team to getting better by helping to set up practices when the coaches were not allowed to coach in the off season. This made me a better leader in everyday life as I am now a more active leader. I lead in group projects, telling people what needs to be done and when. I make sure people are on track, and do not act out. Despite not being a leader to the many, I have still been able to make a big difference by being a leader in my everyday life as an athlete and a
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
I think that if you were to ask my close friends or family, they would say that I am a natural leader and hardworking. As the captain of my lacrosse team, I am a leader on the field. In this position even though I strive to be the best I can, I find it more rewarding to watch my team succeed and improve above myself. I’m very passionate about motivating my team mates to be better and not just bossing them around. You can also find me as a leader of the Student Council at my school. Here I have been in charge of and organized countless events like the CB East’s annual Homecoming. This example also goes to show how hard working I am. I take these school events very seriously and I want every student to have a great time; I stay after school for
I also show leadership in track with one of my relay groups by getting the baton, making sure that everyone has practiced their handoffs, and cheering them on during the race. I also show leadership by being in charge of the recreation center at my church’s vacation bible school and running the technology. I show the service level of National Honor Society by helping at my church’s fair stand, swiss steak supper, and doing various things around the church. I also show the service level because I helped at GLOW with one of my classmates, teaching 5th graders. I show the character level by helping other students around the school with personal problems or class problems that they need help with.
This summer I won a scholarship from Delta Airlines for being a leader in my community. While I was there I was awarded squadron leader and was given the job of watching 10 other individual perform and succeed at the tasks and missions we had to complete every day. Also during my ninth and tenth grade year I was awarded MVP for my volleyball team because of the positivity and leadership I brought on the court. And lastly I was the president of my youth group and was asked to organize and lead special events. These are just a few of the was I have shown leadership, and I hope I am able to further this role in
I’m most interested in becoming a peer leader mainly because of my integration at Lynn. When I came to Lynn I came in for soccer and I didn't really branch out much, but through the first forty and resident hall activities I really branched out to meet new friends. I want to be able to give incoming freshman this same experience and allow them to enjoy their college experience with supportive friends by their side. I truly believe I'm qualified for this position in many ways. I have a fun, bubbly, and energetic personality. I redshirted for two sports this year and I never let it bring me down, I always brought positive vibes and joy everywhere I could. I’ve also always had a passion for people as well, I
I think I show leadership very well. I encourage people to stay on task. When my peers need help, I volunteer to help them. I cooperate with them. Once I even led a debate team. I listened to all of their ideas and I we helped each other. My team won the debate. I also taught a Social Studies lesson before. The students understood the lesson. I answered their questions and acted like a teacher would. I’m a good role model because I stay positive, help those around me and work very hard. This is why I think leadership is one of my best qualities and why I should be inducted into the NJHS.
