The foundation to my success started at an early age, and I have been able to build upon these competencies, skills, and abilities throughout my life. In addition, it has allowed me to recognize and understand how I learn, and how to apply these concepts to my situation. When I graduated high school, I enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College to study Business Management and started working full-time at C.V.S. While I was learning the principles of management and how they integrate into management practices, and how leadership skills correlate to communicating vision, ethical decision making, innovative strategies, and creating a positive work environment; I would practice these skills on the job through interpersonal communication with
Developing leadership abilities early in my life is vital to becoming the person I aspire to be. Having these kinds of skills is something that can help me become a more effective communicator. Communication is necessary in many careers throughout one’s lifetime. Acquiring attributes of a leader
When assigned my first essay, “My Greatest Accomplishment,” I took time to brainstorm different ideas that defined me. The accomplishment that stood out the most to me was qualifying for State Track in four events on a sprained ankle. While writing this essay, I felt like a baby learning how to walk. My writing was unsteady and I took a few tumbles trying to get the paragraphs to flow. This reminded me of trying to run on my sprained ankle at the State-qualifying meet. However, like I finished the paper, I finished my events with qualifying times. I knew the essay would prove difficult, but I grew hopeful while writing because I knew I had numerous
My leadership skills have greatly increased throughout my high school years. I started off as the history fair project group leader to the Development Director and speaker of my Philanthropic Board in Education class. I used to be the type of person who was shy and stage fright but I learned to face those fears and became the outgoing person I am today. My purpose was to be in charge of and interface with my classmates to create a fundraiser for a non-profit organization in our community. I had to communicate with each individual in order to bring the plan together, which wasn’t a piece of cake since not everyone interacts in the same manner. Although it was only a group of twenty-one students, I still faced challenges that I eventually conquered.
There is no other place that would make me work this hard at everything I do, but now I know I could do it. Before being an MEHS student, I relied in only my grades, but getting those good grades with such simplicity was bringing me nowhere. After hearing about Mt. Edgecumbe I was scared that I could not make it up there. After two years of being a student there, I understand that succeeding at Mt. Edgecumbe is no simple task, but it could be done by someone who truly give it everything they have. Although this would be one of he most streaneus accomplishments I had ever achieved, I know I that I could do it if given the
My most significant accomplishment would have to be maintaining who I am, and keeping my grades up through the tests of life. Even though it is a broad topic, seeing as there are so many things that life throws at each of us, it really is a big deal to me. Staying true to myself through everything is one of my biggest goals in life, and I am happy to say that I have managed to do that so far. One thing I have learned through all of this is that it takes a lot to really become who you want to be, and you have to be very understanding of what makes others the way they are.
1. My most significant accomplishment at this internship would be impressing my Team Members. The ways that I have impressed my Team Members how fast I was able to put up on the navigate through our store computer system, how much overtime I would put in to get my trainings done, was by how hard worked the entire internship taking in an learning how much I could every single day I came into work. 2.
My number 1 greatest accomplishment would be providing a safe, fun, educational environment for my students.
The instance that I felt the most significant sense of accomplishment was in the seventh grade. At the time, I was learning how to program and was struggling to understand how to proceed with the project that I was working on. I remember spending a few days on the project–a simple calculator, trivial now but back then it was a mountain of a task. After a long session of learning I finally got the program to work, a simple GUI where I could do many powerful but simple calculations; I was ecstatic. I felt like I could learn more and do more and build things that were fun and stimulating. That feeling has kept with me through my self-study of computer science and my work in programming. It has been a quite significant turning point in my development
I believe that developing leadership skills is not a rapid process, but it is a daily process. The best place people learn how to lead is from their daily experiences. Therefore, my job experience helped me to be more familiar with this topic and I gained additional worthy information from the class materials and lessons. Writing a biography was an amazing experience that helped me to look back in my life, review it in details, know what I did in the past and discover myself better. I did many of the book’s assessments and exercises and I found them totally thought-provoking and useful materials. They assisted me to think more about my leadership potentials and skills. Doing the exercises made me more aware of my strengths and weaknesses in the area of leadership. I read in the book about 10 qualities that mark a leader and help influence the leadership process. Those qualities listed as: vision,
I thought I knew everything about high school then I met Da’kevus Arceneaux. Well it was 7 o'clock in Ms. Phyllis’s English 1 first hour when De’kevus Arceneaux smoothly cruised into the classroom with a smile from ear to ear. De’kevus discussed with me how high school changed him and helped him grow and he answered with a bright smile and clear answers. Speaking with De’kevus, I learned more about the high school experience, coming of age and making future plans.
Accomplishments often mark a new step in an area of your life. Whether it may be in your education, childhood, and more. One event that helped my transition from child to young adult was when I promoted the eighth grade. It was a formal promotion in which I got to dress up and accept a piece of paper that said I was entering high school. This accomplishment stands out for me because it symbolized that I was no longer a little girl.
What's mine is yours. Having lived a year in a student hostel I understood this phrase was the best to describe my first year student life. We shared everything: all of bright spots, all of difficult moments, all of the books and all of the cakes. My roommates are my best friends now and I trust them as I would myself. I believe amazing adventures and close friendship are waiting for us too! Also I believe, my dear roommate, you’ll get at least one new hobby living with me. I promise I’ll share to you with my frenzy for mountains. Oh, that’s really amazing! I’m a participant of the university tourist all around team(sports tourism university team member) and every weekend we get to go to incredibly picturesque places of Zailiyskiy Alatau.
My most meaningful accomplishment will be graduating from Ohio State. I am proud of this because I will be the first in my family to graduate from high school and now from college. Graduating from Ohio State is such an incredible accomplishment for me not only because of the mere fact I am graduating, but because I am graduating from a University away from my hometown. Within my high school graduating class, only one other student came with me to Ohio State for college and unfortunately, he dropped out after our first year. Being away from home, family, and familiar faces made my transition to Ohio State more difficult because I had to learn to be independent and make decisions by myself, for myself. The greatest challenge for me academically
From leadership theories and observations and my personal experiences, I found that leadership is a life learning process and best practices of leadership skills. Surprisingly, the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) points out that informal development opportunities, such as training, are responsible for only 10 percent of the actual learning in leadership development, and ninety percent of learning for leadership development is achieved in formal settings, mainly in everyday job activities such as development assignments and challenging tasks and interpersonal interactions at work, such as networks and mentoring relationships. Cronin and Genovese (2009) insist that what is required in leadership are three things: practice, practice, and practice. Mastery, however, requires more.
My greatest accomplishment thus far, has been getting high grades in college. Accomplishing this required: patience, dedication, tenacity, stamina, and confidence. It took patience because there were long hours that were dedicated to homework and studying. It took dedication because I had to continually tell myself that it would be worth it, even when it was difficult. It took tenacity because I knew that I couldn't accept anything less than my best. It took stamina because there were a lot of late nights and just a lot of time in general to complete everything that was required of me. Lastly, it took confidence because if I didn't believe that I could, it would have made it a million times harder.
