Peer Leader

I would like to be in the Peer Leadership program because I want to obtain the skills necessary to be an effective leader. This summer I will be a counselor in training at Fairview Lake, so I believe that this Peer Leadership Program will fulfill and help finish my goal to strive to be a good leader and role model. In addition, I want to be one of the Peer Leaders who will serve to be a positive influence on students all around Summit. If I am a peer leader, knowing that kids will want to look up to me will help improve my impulse control. I tend to do things without thinking and I am continuing to improve this. One of the three qualities that make me a good role model is I care unconditionally for people because I along many others can relate to those who

Freshman of Lower Richland High school, I want to be the change that I want to see. I want my life to speak for itself! I am a strong young lady that will go very hard in school, and is always known for being gracious and kind. I want to lead by example! Putting God first in all that I do, making good grades, having the ability to say no to sex until marriage, and always saying no to drugs and alcohol. I want to show the freshman class that we can still be on top, and not give into the things of this world. As I mentioned early, no one starts as a leader however, the importance of being a leader is to start having a mindset as a leader early in life. Knowing that you can lead, and you will lead by

A peer leader should provide support, encouragement, and information to incoming ninth graders because they have their own experiences to use a guided framework. Because of the peer leader’s experience in the school, they could give advice on classwork, homework, how to interact and reach out to teacher, and other social issues. Overall, a peer leader should make a meaningful impact on ninth graders. A peer leader should be readily accessible to their peers whether if it was through facebook, email, or texting. A peer leader should also be honest and be empathetic towards the ninth graders. Also, a peer leader should be an outgoing individual as well. Furthermore, a peer leader should have a genuine desire to want to help the ninth graders, not for selfish motives such as an extracurricular to put on their college application.

One experience I have had is getting to take part in peer coaching. In that class, I assist the Special Ed students with their school work, and help show them how to behave in class. When I explain to other students what the class is, they almost always say “I want to do that”. As an introverted leader, this is how I demonstrate my influence. I affect others by setting a strong example. I result to me taking this class, I am not just helping others who need

My three main goals as Peer Leader will be to support the creation of school events, to assist the teachers and fellow students, and to continue to improve Union Ridge. First off, I wish to become part of the Peer Leaders because I would love nothing more than to be a part of this school. I always strive to help out around the school as much as I can. Being part of the Peer Leaders would allow me to further aid and serve the teachers, students, and others all around me. If I were to be selected, I would hope to accomplish putting together or helping to design interesting events for students to partake in. Likewise, I would always be ready to lend a hand to anyone who may need assistance, teacher or not. I would also try to fix issues within

As previous students of the grade school level,we did not have difficulty recalling how we nonchalantly dismissed the intense atmoshpere that was told to us would come with college. There was a necessity to impress upon the students the severety of the information that we were going to tell them, however the they first had to be captured. How better to catch a swimming fish than with a little bait. Leadership. What young person does not desire to be a leader. Weither people strive to be a team leader or they simply wish to cure cancer they all desire to be at the head of their dreams. By introducing the topic we were goiing to discuss as Leadership 101 the students would focus in on the speakers. There are always those few who make snide remarkes and sneeker back and forth but they pay attention non-the-less. Then the speakers introduce themselves firmly with authority and passion, demonstrating a lack of hesitation and a sense of perpose. This is an important moment for the speakers because subconciously the students acknowledge the personal certainty with the topic that the speakers, who are only one year ahead of them, are there to

In last semester classes, I feel like I learned a lot. My teachers did a great job teaching me.

I feel like I've learned a lot of thing from this class that I probably would have never thought about before. Firstly, I learned how community colleges work and about some of the policies they go by. I also learned about a lot of different career options that I never explored before. I think this really helped to open my eyes to all the options so I'm not limiting myself. Lastly, and most importantly, I learned about ways of managing stress and my time. This is something I have always struggled with and now I feel like I have the tools to change. I think this will really improve many things in all areas in my life but especially school. It was really great to hear everyone's dreams and goals as well as their stresses. It just shows that

I would like to serve as a peer leader because I truly understand the struggle of being a new student. The perspective I have gained while developing from being someone with no Jewish day school background to feeling like every other member of the community is something I find very special. The unique development that I experienced is something I owe to the welcoming and sincere peer leaders that helped guide me during the nerve-wracking transition phase. As a result of my experience, I want to give incoming 9th-grade students the same open arms that I received early on. Furthermore, Schechter Westchester has drastically changed my perspective on the world and taught me values that have helped

Throughout my two years in high school as well as middle school, I believe I have shown a considerable amount of this ability in myself. For the past five years, I have been a representative in the Fayette Student Council. This year alone, I was chosen to attend State Student Council as well as the Fulton Leadership Workshop in June of 2016 to represent Fayette, Missouri. These events are accompanied by many ideas of how even something little, such as taking charge and leading, can make such a big difference. I was chosen as alternate for Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) for the Northeast District. In a more hometown sense, I was recognized for being completely in charge of decorations, thank you notes, and preparation in our Pink Out event which was held in January of 2016. Following these actions, I was chosen to promote Fayette High School and hand the check of all funds made from Pink Out directly to Dale and Lisa Lang. I have been elected by my peers and educators to uphold the position of Sophomore Class President. Through this position, I connect my classmates concerns to my teachers to make high school an overall better experience for everyone. I am an active member of FHS Junior Optimist Club where I have volunteered as a cheerleading coach and coordinated numerous fundraising events for our communities youth. I believe these leadership actions, as well as others, prove that

This semester, I have grown as a student by taking action to benefit the life of other people. I have gained a better understanding of issues that many people face and how to get involved. My American literature class allowed me to grow through my “Perks of Being A Wallflower” essay and my civil rights project. The essay and the civil rights project allowed me to take action,learn a new perspective, and Improve on my reading analysis skill.

Many disabled kids are not taken care of properly whether it is at home or school. However, the Peer Assistance Leadership (PALS) program can be a lot of help. To be involved in this program, a little funding is necessary due to the fees that are needed for training. This may be the reason why many schools try to avoid being a part of it. Budgeting can be an issue for some while prioritizing what is beneficial to others. The necessities that special needs kids are required aren't really understood to some people, nor is it considered important due to the fact that they are not educated on this subject. Nor are they aware on the benefits of the PALs program that will make a difference on the disabled kids and their students too. The students

Kingman High School is considered a large Class 3A high school, with about 255 students. This may seem average compared to many other high schools, although, no matter how big or small the class sizes, leadership offices usually come natural to the popular students in the high school. I am not the most popular student in my high school, so I did not hold any leadership offices until my senior year. Despite this fact, I have been a leader in my school the past four years, even if it was “behind the scenes.” Leadership doesn’t mean being class president all four years, it means being the best role model for others as possible. If I were to give advice to someone who is assuming a leadership position for the first time, I would tell them to obtain

I am a born leader. Even when I am not looking for leadership opportunities they always seem to fall into my lap. My life has been one that is based on service to others, so I regularly volunteer for committees and extend myself to help others. It is important to me to be the best teacher I can, I regularly attend professional development sessions and implement my new learning in the classroom. However, upon starting the Teacher Leadership Master’s program at Lamar University, I was just beginning my career as a teacher leader. I had not had many opportunities to show leadership outside of my grade-level team. During team planning meetings, I normally directed the discussions. My coworkers looked to me for guidance and interpretation of the curriculum. I regularly made suggestions about teaching strategies. Additionally, I was a member of various campus committees including the Campus Performance Objective Committee (CPOC) where worked together with campus administrators and community partners to develop the Campus Improvement Plan. However, I did not view these tasks as leadership opportunities.

Throughout this semester, I learned so much and gained so much confidence in my ability to lead. I had never led through the Honors College before this semester nor had I ever felt so involved and included within the Honors College. Being an Honors Year One mentor has allowed me to grow in ways that I would have never grown if it was not for this experience. Through my experience, I have made friends, realized what all the Honors College has to offer and connect freshmen with others. I learned how I lead best, how to not always be the leader, what my strengths are and how to use them to their full potential, and what needs to happen differently next semester in hopes to improve the experience for the freshmen.
