Personal Narrative: My Leadership

We all know that the National Honor Society is focused on the four main points of character, service, scholarship, and last but not least leadership. I am asking that you take consideration of these four points in my very own life.

I try to live a life of integrity: I follow established rules with obedience, I do not break any academic honesty through cheating, nor do I cross any moral or ethical boundaries. Possessing a strong, virtuous character is a basic foundation for my life and I will use this trait to achieve my future ambitions while respecting and maintaining honesty with

Character is a combination of all the qualities listed above, but also the overall kindness and integrity one can offer to the world. Even though character is not measurable, everything I’ve done in high school so far has been to become a better person. I’ve never cheated or broken a rule in Cherokee, and I always try my best to make every club meeting that I have. In every class, especially my art classes, I’ve taken every bad grade and criticism from my teachers to heart to make improvements and I do the same when I realize that my actions or words aren’t helping someone. I’m by no means a perfect person with perfect character, but the hard work and dedication I’ve done to get where I am today is what should be valued by the National Honor

I do not lie to teachers, friends, and elders and expect the same from them. I am goal-oriented and set goals for almost everything I do, from academics to sports, and I work hard to reach them. For example, I determine a time I want to hit for each of my events in track and work towards meeting those goals. Lastly, organization is one of my top values; I stay very organized, and very rarely to I lose papers or

It is on a personal note, that I believe that character is effected by one’s relationship with the other three core values. With the proper sense of scholarship in a person they would have the intelligence needed to get through life. The correct amount of leadership in a person they would have responsibility and the ability to take charge when necessary. Then with just the right sense of service they would be helpful and assist their community or others when they are in need of it. It is also my personal believe that I as a person do not have a perfect character but will always make an effort to have an exemplary

Having a genuine character means to always stand for the truth, to have compassion and respect for others, and to commit fully to the position you have accepted. In my family, we are called to live out a life that includes kindness, honesty, humility, and perseverance. These characteristics guide me through my day-to-day

As a supportive B.A.S.E. Leader, I participated in Frog Hollow's Halloween Carnival, B.A.S.E. kick-off - an event in which B.A.S.E. leaders lead, support, and have fun with incoming grade eights, and B.A.S.E. lunches - a weekly event for grade eights that B.A.S.E. leaders supervise, and clean up afterwards. In fact, one of my most memorable experiences include the time when a shy kid, named Spencer, was eating all alone during a B.A.S.E. lunch that I was supervising. Hence, I decided to have a welcoming conversation with him, and introduce him to some of the other grade eights in the room because from my experience in the past as a shy kid, I would've greatly appreciated it if someone had introduced, and welcomed me to other kids as well. In

Many people have left legacies from when they were alive. Some are good, and some are bad. Those people may not agree with what they have left behind, and some may be perfectly okay with theirs. For me, I would like to leave behind a legacy that shows my family that I was a good person. I would want them to know that I had good intentions for my life and that I wanted to do good for myself and others. In this essay, I will explain what I would like my legacy to be like.

I always find myself staring blankly at my computer screen. The cursor flashes, mocking me, and the only word I have written is ‘the.’ I close my eyes, trying to think of all the things I did over the summer and in the past four years, and somehow, my mind only draws up the lyrics to Beyonce’s “Run the World.”

This day was busy, but I was able to help out more by checking patients in and checking them out this time around. Felt a lot more comfortable with the system and interacting with the clients and their pets. This was my last day working in the front, I enjoyed working with Leonore and the rest of the staff in the front but, I am very excited to work in the back to get hands on experience working with the technician’s and the doctor’s.

During my Educational leadership Program I have gain so much new knowledge about school administration, laws, and situations that I have kept myself looking for additional information which helps me on a daily base in y work as an aspiring leader in my worksite. I have learn to ask the necessary questions and to make suggestions about daily challenges that could be overcome with a different approach.

For the duration of this Intermediate Leadership Experience (ILE) the five concepts that stood out to me most are the dehumanized climate from Interpersonal Communication, the Contemporary Motivation Model from Leader Influence, Ethical Dilemmas used in Military Ethics from Leadership and Followership, Discipline Model (DM) Arena 1- Prevention from Leader Influence on Subordinate Behavior, and from Effective Negotiations the Who, Stakes, and Situation concept. These concepts standing out lets me know that I am still developing as a leader. To define myself as specific leader or with a specific style, I would say that I’m adaptable. These concepts also let me know that regardless of what I already know there is always something to learn

She once sat with the other wives of servers without thought of trouble and yet now she was always forced to move to another chair. A wife of a server who husband took care of anyone greater than another’s’ husband had right to demand this bit of respect. With her husband serving a Third Level, every wife of every working server had right to tell her to move. However, it was the wives of those husbands who served the Highest Levels who always took a cruel pleasure in telling her that they wanted her chair even if there were better seats nearby.

There were many thoughts, feelings, and reactions that I experienced being a group co-leader. This was the first time that I had ever lead a therapeutic group and knowing each individual on a personal level made everything a little more difficult for me. I actually had a very hard time co-leading the group and I think that my problem with leading was due to the subject matter, the individuals in the group, the fact that I am a member and have been a member of the group since the group started, the differences among group co-leaders and my inexperience leading groups.

For my personal leadership development, I attended the fall Leadership Academy. Leadership Academy was a half day experience. I got to attend two breakout sessions in the morning, and there was a guest speaker in the afternoon.
