Obstacles Of Organizing A Bible Camp Analysis

One of my very first instances of leadership was during a Boy Scout meeting about five years ago where I led our

Based on a unanimous decision, the scouts in my patrol voted for me as their leader. I was not the loudest nor the strongest individual, but I was a well respected and I listened to everyone’s opinions. I made myself clear as the leader that I was their best friend that happened to make decisions. I never put myself on a pedestal and I believed that a true leader is someone who represents and takes on the difficult responsibility of the team. Three years later, I achieved the Eagle rank as a boy scout as I served as a leader and qualified for the

In 6th grade, I was chosen to participate in a leadership program at Richard Hull Middle School. At this program, I worked with girls who possessed similar leadership qualities, and I learned more about what it is to be a good leader. This leadership position taught me what makes a good leader. For my three years in high school, I dreamed to be in NHS. This is not only a role, but also a responsibility. This past year, I was selected as one of four board members of the Youth Church Committee. I was placed in charge of organizing quiz meet, dance, and banquet programs in which it would occur at various times throughout the

Though I no longer have the position due to the leader coming back and wanting more age appropriate help, I strongly believe I made a big impact on the group's life, not only as a leader but a friend. Also, I took over the leadership of the worship team from my church because the members before were not taking their positions seriously. Once I saw the disinterest in my fellow group members, I decided to have my own worship team in which I make sure that everyone has the mindset on the same goal. My dad picks them up every Sunday morning and brings them (three girls) to my house around 9 where we practice,playing a few hours later in the English service offered by our church. Once I started the new worship team, I took it upon myself to help out the English service no matter the how many girls attended; my only exception was whenever I was either extremely sick or I had to be at a robotics competition because of the

Acting as a leader in an international organization called Cru is a human service activity I participate in while I am an undergraduate student. I am a professing Christian. Cru's mission is for everyone on Grand Valley State University's (GVSU) campus to know someone who is faithfully following Jesus. The movement has a deep commitment to learning about God and caring for people; I align with these core biblical truths. As stated, I am a student-leader in the movement at GVSU. My role to is lead a freshman community group, disciple (spiritually mentor) faithful students in the movement and give some talks. God has used Cru to aid in discovering who I am and why I was created. Entering freshman year, I was lost and didn't know who I was. All throughout high school, I was an athlete. I began searching and thinking critically about what I believe and who I wanted to become. I was attracted to Cru because they promote critical thinking, analyzing context and discovery. Additionally, Cru tackles hard life questions which leaves me desiring to continue learning.

At the sleep away camp that I attended this summer, I was appointed "General" for an all camp activity known as Color War. For four days, the camp is divided into two teams that compete against each other in athletics and other competitive activities. Having been selected out of 400+ campers to take on this elite position was such an honor - I cried tears of happiness. While acting general was extremely rewarding, it quickly became a challenge. Carrying the responsibility to lead cheers, hold team meetings, while making sure the people I led were happy and enjoying the most exciting days of camp was nothing short of nerve-racking. However, every challenge I faced during those four days made each experience that more rewarding , even if my

Starting from Girl Scouts to CJSF, my early love for aiding others quickly developed. However, my most pivotal service experience is my involvement in Key Club. As I became further involved in this organization, the thought of advancing my role by becoming an officer became very persistent in my mind. Being extremely shy and withdrawn, the idea of being a leader was incredibly intimidating to even fathom. Despite my shyness and anxiety causing me to doubt myself, my love for serving others outweighed any uncertainty I had in myself. After a daunting speech and election process, I gladly accepted the challenge of a club secretary, which has given me the opportunity to not only serve my community, but the members of my club. My experience as a Key Club officer has enriched my perception of myself and widened my range to serve. It has taught me to take risks and step out of my comfort zone in order to pursue my passions. Key Club has served as a platform for me to become more engrossed in my community and lead me to consider careers in which I can help those in

For this assignment the group that I observed was the Churches Touching Lives of Christ Bible study located at W Ave G Temple, TX 76504.The bible study group was small, it consisted of six adult group members in total. Each individual person had their own uniqueness about themselves and their contribution to the group. The leader of the group was a slender Asian male in his late forty’s who was well spoken and maintained order in the group while still delivering a short sermon to the group. Whenever a person would speak out of turn he would let them speak and when they were done he would publicly correct them and tell the other adult group members that they should wait their turn to speak and if they have a

City Youth Ministries is a family, even though they have social responsibility and a code of ethics. As soon as you watch the way Director Denise Snider interacts with the children, it is evident that this is an “organization family” treated like a “nuclear family.” (DeSensi & Rosenberg, 2010) I have also learned the value in the way we communicate with others. This opportunity showed me that a successful organization, or team, begins with enthusiastic leadership. The book presents motivation “as the basis of the function of leading” (DeSensi & Rosenberg, 2010). One day, I might find myself leading a group, and I aspire to act like Mrs. Snider. The acquisition or loss of social roles affects the psychological effects of both men and women (Wilson & Musick, 2000). Adding this “social role”, gave me a place where I felt appreciated. There was always something that needed to be done, and someone that needed to be loved. Whenever I finished an afternoon of volunteering, I was not tired or drained. On the contrary, I left with a sense of contentment and thankfulness. The children, faculty, and staff cared for each other in more than a typical organization, and I was lucky enough to be a part of

Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs and organizations to help me become a leader in my community. At Auburn High School I took on the role of being a Publicist officer for National Technical Honors Society the first two consecutive years that it became a part of our school. I gained a lot of leadership experience through this club. Implementing a new organization is never easy and takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the leaders of the club. By being a part of a very helpful, dedicated and motivated team, we helped affiliate all the eligible members into the club and in turn helped introduce this new club to the school. As publicist my role in helping the club grow was crucial; I helped in publicizing the clubs various projects and involvement.

Over the past few months in our Business Communication class we participated in a service learning project called “Big Brothers Big Sisters”. We divided into small groups in order to focus on different aspects of the organization during this project. The project included three main groups, each focused on different aspects of the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. The first group was responsible for social media around campus. The second group managed Public Relations which made flyers and used other media resources to spread the word throughout campus. The third and final group focused on planning. This included different activities and parties for the children. As a class we were to plan and coordinate two functions that included the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

In the upcoming year, I would like to focus and work on my leadership skills, one of the four pillars of the National Honors Society. This year I was elected Vice President of marketing for the Jupiter High School DECA chapter. This role will help me with my leadership goal by teaching me the responsibilities of being part of/taking charge a larger group. it is now my responsibility to create invitations, direct social media, membership, and advertising the chapter and its activities. I am the head of a group of four directors who help me carry out and delegate these duties. in the next year, I plan to get all things done in a timely manner and treat all my responsibilities with equal value and necessity. Leadership is also about influencing

In Bridges Youth Music Ministry, I have been in charge of keeping practices and services running smoothly. This requires communication with others leading, speaking, and doing the technical aspect of the event. Another aspect of being a leader is being dependable enough for events to be entirely dependent on me. During a worship service I am responsible for leading while much of the flow of everything is entirely dependent on me running things smoothly. In theater, sometimes the success of show can depend on me. Another example of this takes place while leading for Link Crew. The flow and mood of the room depends on those leading, and the focus is put onto
