Youth leadership and development is a huge part of agriculture education. It is one of the many things that FFA is known for. Leadership is important in all career areas and should be a part of every student’s education. As a teacher, I will strive to integrate leadership development in all of my classes.

After noticing a fierce division in the community over the recent political events, the school proactively created the conference to both facilitate peaceful conversations about the political climate and to help teach the students how to express their opinions in appropriate ways.

Most of the things I learned from this experience was a sense of purpose, cooperation, and expansion of knowledge dealing with the various forms of discrimination, as well as oppression. As the semester passed, I felt like I was finally advancing towards a career field that fits me. The topic/subject made it to my list of fields I may want to pursue when I attend a University, which is another benefit gained from my class. Like many other high school students, my mind ponders on the thought of what I truly want to pursue in college, so this was a huge step for me. Oakland Community College gave me the opportunity to test the waters and depict an idea of what attending a University may be like, so that is to say how much one can really learn from an experience like mine. Another thing I learned was that not everything can be done at the last minute, the way you imagined it should be. There should be an excessive amount of planning and thought that goes into completing certain assignments and projects, I remember staying up on some nights just to complete two to four essays. As guilty as I am, sometimes working under pressure motivates and builds my energy up. There times when I would try to work on the assignments during my break at my job and even start on the outline of my

I display the core value of leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship by being the captain of the cross country team, and the president of the National English Honor Society (NEHS). It is my duty to demonstrate qualities such as organization and competence since I’m the face of both of these associations. Being the captain of the cross country team has made me into a role model. The cross country team is very diverse with African-American, Whites, and Hispanics runners. Furthermore, my role as captain has allowed me to grow closer with my teammates and learn more about their heritage. Being able to train and compete with people from different backgrounds has helped me interact with different people and better understand the world. Through this

On November 9th 2015, a town hall meeting took place in my political science class. This meeting was a chance for students of the school to bring up concerns, or issues regarding there education. For their voice to be heard directly to the faculty that runs the school, the students could finally have a chance to get a valid answer. There was questions about safety, mathematics, community college education, and typical student issues.

From all my research, the collaborative nature of the work at KPMG could be an incredible way to learn and prepare for my future professional career. I will bring my strengths as a natural leader and ease at working with and teams. Throughout my life, I have held leadership positions in most every activity in which I participated. Prior to starting college, I displayed my leadership donning the captain’s “C” on nearly every ice hockey team that I played for; from my first travel pee wee team through my years I captained Gonzaga College High School’s Hockey team in my junior and senior years winning back-to-back league championships, including Gonzaga’s only undefeated season in school history during my senior

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

This is another experience that this school has given me that I will never forget. I was able to meet with Senators and Assemblypersons to advocate for the proper funding for community colleges. This experience has improved my knowledge of the legislative process, taught me the importance of networking, and had rid me of my fear of public speaking. It also peeked my curiosity, I am now considering expanding my academic interest to include law and policy.

My position as Conference Chair was my first large responsibility in college. This position developed my interpersonal and team working skills; it also instilled the importance of time management and organizational habits. Through the inspiration of my peers, I became committed to bring creativity and innovation to all events that I planned. This position allowed me to explore my passion of minority advocacy though the Asian/Asian American population and serve as a catalyst for the promotion of education and awareness of Asian history and culture. Our greatest accomplishment was the development and passing of the Asian American Studies Minor at the University of Florida. Our first step was garnering support from the community through assembling a committee of students and faculty, and created

When we become too comfortable, we often miss out and ignore things as the world continues to spin. I think that this section was definitely persuasive. This section was an encouragement and reminder of our Christian duty to be active participants. In the section on tolerance, my mind automatically thought of LGBTQ rights.

A great impact that I witnessed that year is when I took the school field trip to numerous colleges close to the city. I had never been to a university or even a community college. Therefore, me going to those visit gave me a greater idea on what type of college I'd like to attend. One of the colleges I remembered we toured to was Lakeland Community College. I really liked the aspects that it has, with the classrooms even the on campus living. Taking trip like that sets your mind up but also prepares you to know what to expect and look for when you are college searching.

The presentation about poverty at CCNC was very informational and interesting. Before this presentation I was not aware of what Bridges out of Poverty was. I come from a pretty well off middle class family and poverty is not something that comes to mind on a daily basis. So it was helpful to become more educated about the community and things you don’t always see. Bridges out of poverty’s mission is to reduce the poverty, strengthening the workforce, and help build a more sustainable community. Learning about the different approaches to help poverty levels and how prevalent it is was an eye opening experience for me. To learn that federal poverty is in the $15,000 was kind of shocking to me because in a year I can make close to with a side

While many of my peers stressed and sighed over having to complete this assignment, I looked forward to it. During this activity, I was able to experience first hand how diverse our campus is, I was able to tour the college, and most importantly, this activity required me to step out of my comfort zone and further strengthen my ability to interact with others. I took advantage of the resources available and participated in all of the workshops, events, and presentations I had the opportunity to. In brief, all events I attended were beneficial, yet by far, my favorite, and the most memorable, was Cookies and Current Events. Attending this event allowed me to have a better look at what is happening in the world around me. It allowed me to see different issues and events, issues many, including myself, due to busy lifestyle and hectic schedule, didn’t even realize are occurring. Completing my G.P.S requirement enabled me to become a more diverse person, it was influential to the utmost extent. I truly enjoyed attending the events and being able to experience everything Florida SouthWestern State College has to
