Leadership has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have always found myself taking on leadership roles, whether it be by volunteering or coordinating different projects for the benefit of my school or community. Taking on leadership positions has allowed me to develop skills in communication, delegation, and managing multiple tasks and deadlines. As a member of National Honor Society and an officer of Student Council, I am presented with various opportunities to show my leadership skills. For example, I have been in charge of planning multiple pep assemblies for my school. Helping coordinate blood and canned food drives, angel trees, as well as organize an abundance of fundraising events has created a sense of reliability
Leadership is being able to guide other students into being the best they can be. I am a leader who is always positive and cheering others on to achieve their goals. At my school, I have a position as the Vice President of Academics in National Honors Society. Since I have obtained this position, I encourage other students in this group to participate in service projects which is where one volunteers to help out the community in some aspect. These volunteering opportunities are good thing to do because it builds character and it is always fun helping others out. As a leader, I bring new ideas to the table on where we should help out in the community and anything that we could do in school that would fun and helpful. Along with participating in National Honors Society at my school, I am also involved in our Student Government Association. Although I do not have a leadership position in this club, I still engage in the activities that we do. For the past two years, I have gone to an annual meeting for leadership where multiple schools attend. At this meeting there are fun activities where you learn more about leadership and how to be a good leader. As a leader, these meetings help because it is always good to learn new
Responsibility, leadership and commitment are often associated with the term “society.” Being a member of a club requires responsibility, leadership and commitment.However, society often secludes the fact that people who leave their mark on this world, also have imagination. The National Junior Honor Society should consider me for their program because not only do I possess these three traits, but I also have creativity. Creativity has created the most radical inventions ever
My devotion and orderly work ethics have allowed me to achieve this. I have participated in some academically challenging activities like The Spelling Bee, in which I came in 2nd place. I am usually in charge in group school projects. In my opinion, leadership is not only showing people what to do and how to do it, it is for me to be independent and not to rely on anyone to do everything for me. Leadership makes me make my own decisions and helps me be more independent than I already am.
Leadership is an important character trait of National Honor Society. Last summer I had the opportunity to lead a team during the off season. At the end of the regular season, there were no captains elected. Captains are in charge of organizing events and practices when the coaches are not allowed to communicate with the team. I took on the responsibility of organizing activities. I communicated with other players and got their input for the activities. I had to reach out to incoming freshman by organizing a group message as well as emailing parents. I also made sure to keep our coach updated on how everything was going.

Leadership is very important to our society and to myself. It gives us guidance on what to do and if the things we are doing are appropriate. Leadership is not only something everyone could use, but also needs. I believe I can demonstrate directionism while being involved in the National Junior Honor Society.
I exemplify the National Honor Society’s core value of leadership because of my responsibility and my hard work. When working in a group, I am the person who takes charge and gets all of the group members on the right track. I divide up the parts as evenly as possibly and do my best to ensure that each person contributes. If a person is working slower than others, I help them complete their work as soon as I finish my own. Because a leader must be responsible, I prove my responsibility through the fact that I have never turned an assignment in late. If I am given a task to do, I always do it to the best of my ability no matter what it takes. I also demonstrate leadership outside of school when I am at swim practice. I serve as the role model in my group by always being there and
Being a leader is a valuable skill, not just for the National Honor Society, but also for life. Leaders must take initiative and make hard decisions, even when it is difficult. I am one of the leaders of a praise team group for my
Leadership can be defined as the action of leading a group of people or an organization. Being from a small town, opportunities to show leadership come few and far between. However when they do, they provide a learning experience that is hard to find anywhere else. Over the years, I have had many opportunities to show my leadership skills both on the job as a student supervisor at Tim Hortons and as a youth is the small community of Wawa.
Being president of the MGC council not only taught me leadership skills, but it also helped me realize my potential. If I were asked during freshman year of college if I would make a good leader, I would have been unsure. I valued aspects of leaderships such as good communication, teamwork, and taking on responsibility. However, I would have been hesitant to call myself a good leader because of my lack of confidence, fear of public speaking, and working under pressure. While I held the position during my junior year, I found that the obstacles became easier. Consistently talking in front of others facilitated my public speaking skills and increased my confidence. Being organized and seeking help lessened the stress. It was also rewarding to
Going into my final year of high school, I had been elected as the Vice President of the National Honour Society for Murphy High School’s charter. With this new position, I had to contribute ideas on how to raise money for our club and school, how to improve the students involved, and how the club could better the school. The election was based on nominations and popular vote. I was elected because I was outspoken and provided ideas as much as I could in meetings. This allowed for my fellow peers to understand that I cared for the honor society and wanted to better the program.
As a leader, I try to inspire and have an influence on people. I see leadership as a responsibility to be a good role model for others. Therefore, from the people I have interacted with, I make sure no one is afraid to say or give an opinion on something and I’m there to listen. For example, in National Honor Society we learn the principles which are scholarship, service, character and most importantly, leadership. As the Vice President of National Honor Society, I have hope for success in each member. This year the president and I have teamed up to create new opportunities for all of the members of National Honor Society to contribute to our community. Not only do they lend a hand, but they are also willing to come up with new ideas to help,
As my resume indicates, I have a strong leadership background. When I attended Archbishop Ryan High School, I was the the Secretary for both the Student Council and the National Honor Society. My participation in these clubs required a lot of dedication and organization, and my involvement has positively influenced my
The leadership roles I have acquired demonstrate that I can manage and work well with others.I have portrayed these characteristics through being a crew leader at my church’s Vacation Bible School. I lead several children in games, crafts, and songs throughout an entire week. I have furthermore taught children at a dance studio that I have personally danced at for twelve years. I lead two duets by teaching the kids new choreography every week and how to dance with proper technique. Though my leadership roles are limited, I have shown excellence in both by leading and working well with
My personal experiences of leadership started when I was younger, roughly 7 years old, I was elected the captain of my travel soccer team. At the time I didn’t think much of it, nor did I have any extra duties that I was explicitly told that I needed to perform. Later throughout the season, I started to notice my teammates mimicking my styles and techniques and I highly enjoyed this feeling of being looked up to. I didn 't realize until years after that the recognition and pride I felt was leadership. This privilege of being captain was the first time I had realized that people weren 't necessarily following my actions because I was extraordinarily skilled, but because I provided this role model status with my confidence and encouragement. Some of the most valuable leaderships traits that I acquired and fortified are:
