My Role In The Girl Scouts Of America

Firstly, in my Academic Career, I have held a multitude of leadership roles. My sophomore year , I was a class representative for Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America, commonly known as FCCLA. It was my duty to alert members and keep them up to date regarding meetings and activities. As a representative of FCCLA, I learned how to work as a unit leader and a team member.That same school year, I ran for the district office of secretary for FCCLA. The nomination and election process, gave me the opportunity to grow and nurture my leadership abilities. It was eminently challenging; but I learned the importance of discipline and hard work. I accomplished my goal and was nominated Secretary for FCCLA. This office allowed me to meet plenty

Being a leader has always been extremely important to me. The past few years I have held many leadership positions to deepen my skills as a leader. Some of my most notable leadership positions of high school were that I was the secretary of my class, the secretary of my school’s National Honor Society, a member of the Youth Council for the Teen Leadership Corps, and a Student Ambassador for my high school. I have recently been chosen as a Peer Leader for the College of Business Administration (CBA), meaning that I will be available to help incoming freshman with whatever they may need as they make the transition to college. I was also chosen by the dean to give a speech at one of the largest high school visits for the CBA in order to inspire students to choose to come to Bowling Green. This was a very important experience for me because I had many high school seniors come up to me after the speech and ask me questions and reached out for advice from me. It is important to me that people value my advice because I believe that giving good advice is an imperative part of being a leader.

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.

The leadership role I’m most proud of is my participation in two mission trips. Growing up in a community near the largest city in Iowa, my first mission trip was in an impoverished area of Wyoming, the Wind River Indian Reservation. My second mission trip was in the underprivileged areas of Nashville, Tennessee. During these two trips, I learned how to give more than to receive by painting houses for those unable to, distributed food at a food pantry to those who don’t have the means to purchase food, listened and brought cheer to those injured or ill at a hospital, and read and played with children at a daycare. In all of these activities I gained the experiences that it’s always best to put others needs before my own, give back and to take action when not asked

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.

As people get older, leadership and involvement become a huge part of who they are and how they carry themselves. Are they able to take on responsibilities, express opinions and make decisions among their peers? Are they respectable and reliable and therefore able to inspire and support others? Are they outgoing, and positive? All are essential for a leader. Throughout the past 5 years, I have taken on several leadership roles. I have taken on more responsibilities in 4-H and Kane County Ambassadors. I have participated in high school cheerleading, competitive All-Star cheerleading, and Varsity cheerleading here at St. Ambrose. Additionally, I have gotten involved in SAU’s Student Government Association as the Freshmen Class President. Participation

My own unique leadership experiences have shaped me over the years. Peer leadership and the Chick-fil-a Leadership Academy have offered me a wide variety of unique leadership experiences. I have learned so much from organizing charitable events, to teaching social skills to autistic and other special needs middle-schoolers and the ABCs and 123s to kindergartners. As a role as Varsity lacrosse captain allows me to mentor and share my experiences with other players. Last year, my advice helped a player decide not to quit the team.

I have been a member of Girl Scouts for eleven years. October 2014 I was nominated to represent the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia as a delegate in the national convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am currently working to achieve my Gold Award, dealing with literacy among elementary school students, which I should complete by the end of this year. I also volunteer at the Columbia County Library every Monday. Though I worked backstage in my school’s drama production, I have also been on the stage for many productions including Peter Pan, the Jungle Book, Dear Santa, and numerous church Christmas plays. I am also very involved in my church. I have been an alter server for seven years and I am part of Life Teen and Word Wide

As an introvert, I never believed that leadership would be my cup of tea. Quiet, observant, soft-spoken. Those are not the traits of a leader...or so I thought. Then, I journeyed to Europe for 20 days with People to People to become a Student Ambassador. Meeting a Parliament member in England and representing The United States of America to a group of German students opened my eyes to the world of leadership and showed me how capable of leading I truly was. Entering my sophomore year of high school, I was selected to be a National Honor Society Member, the Vice President of the Beta Club, and a member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society. While all of the leadership positions I’ve experienced have been extraordinary and eye opening, the most significant

Future Business Leaders of America is a fast organization that has taught me a lot about leadership. I have held the office as secretary for our FBLA chapter for two years, and held the position as annual reporter the previous year. Myself and two other individuals created a community service project to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis; we competed at the state conference in Topeka, Kansas and received first place which qualified us to compete at the national level last summer in Atlanta, Georgia. It was an experience that I will never forget. I have also been a dedicated member of FFA for four years, I have held the position as Class vice president for three years, and I have been a member of National Honor Society for two years. National Honor Society is a service club that gives to the community and school. Service has taught me compassion and understanding. I trust that service is contagious. When people help others it can cause a chain reaction; one good deed leads to another. I enjoy helping others and realizing that I have made a positive impact on an individual’s

I have demonstrated the principles of leadership, progress, and service in several ways throughout the past three years. During my senior year of high school, I was the president of my school’s chapter of the International Thespian Society, a community service officer in the National Honor Society and an active member of the Beta Club. Through these organizations, I was able to take on several leadership roles where I not only led others but also served my surrounding community. The most memorable of these events the International Thespian Society's canned food drive. Even though my school had not participated prior to this, through my organizational and planning skills, we managed to collect over 10,000 pounds of food for our local food bank.

As often as little children are, my parents thrusted me into an activity that I had no idea that I wanted to take part in. Most of these activities rarely outlive the years of barbie dolls or legos, due to a general lack of interest, or most of the time, an increase of dislike for the activity. For me, my dancing abilities withered away, as my place with the Girl Scouts of America grew stronger. Of course in the beginning they cater the activities towards the interests of little girls, but they still provided the community feeling. One year a small group of ten year olds made jewelry with the residents of assisted living. Admittedly, the jewelry crafted was made in the interest for the ten year olds, but each of us can still see the smiles on the elderly women when we handed them our finished, stylized, plastic necklaces.

I have multiple physical disabilities that make me unable to participate in sports. Because of this, my extracurricular activities may not be impressive. However, since I am unable to do sports, I feel it is important to dedicate my time to volunteering. This has brought me down the path of being a Girl Scout for eleven years. In these eleven years, I have done many minuscule, but yet very important acts of goodness. Also, as a older girl scout in my service unit, I believe that it is vital to be a role model to the younger girl scouts. For the past two years, I have been a camp counselor in charge of crafts at the Lawrence County Girl Scout summer day camp. Last school year, I helped a Girl Scout troop leader of Daisies, which is kindergarten

It is essential that we have leaders in society so that one can pass down the “dos” and “don’ts” of leadership to future generations. Leadership is about doing things when nobody's watching. It is about going the extra mile without any given recognition. I have contributed to my high school by participating in multiple events and organizations. Freshman year, I ran and won the office of Class Vice President. As Vice President, it was my duty to organize my class’s hall decorations for the annual Football Homecoming Week. After months of work days and meetings, we created elaborant, vibrant decorations that covered the halls from floor to ceiling. Due to my increased involvement in other organizations, as a sophomore I ran and won the position of Class Treasurer since it required less responsibility and I could contribute more to the school. My responsibilities changed from working with glue and glitter to handling money and class dues. Junior year, I continued holding the role as Treasurer while being Vice President on the Pom team. My duties as Pom Vice President included organizing all fundraisers, making and selling t-shirts for any pom-related event, and arrange the annual ‘Pom Little Girl’s Clinic.’ I truly had an affinity working with the Little Girl’s Clinic because we were able to create a bond with the young girls by making their dream of being a high school Pom girl come true. In addition to being

When I was little, my parents decided to put me in Girl Scouts in fifth grade. By the time I was in high school, I had already received both my bronze and silver award, so I decided to continue and go for the Gold. The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout could achieve, and only 5 percent of eligible girls earn it. To me personally, the hardest part of receiving this award, was deciding what I was going to do. Several ideas came to my mind, but I decided to call the Ruthe B. Cowl Rehabilitation Center, my city's local physical therapy center, to see what they needed. We set up a meeting, and they told me how they have been looking for someone to help upgrade their Kids Zone. They had a massive room for the kids to do physical therapy
