Personal Narrative: My Role As A Section Leader

The lives I would touch for my legacy would be my family and friends because those are the people that care about me and what I do. That they would help me out with anything I need. My major accomplishment would be a pro soccer player and go to Rutgers College. The other accomplishment in my life would be to get very good grades in school to get a good education.

In my senior year i've had lots of experience in leadership as I am a Section Leader in my band and im the president of Key club a student lead service based organization that is focused on improving out school and community. An example of my leadership role is that as a section leader I was responsible for teaching incoming freshmen the ropes about marching band. There was a particular difficult freshman who was joining band. This young girl was very shy and did not really interact with others. Many of the other section leaders had tried to encourage her yet she only seemed to brush them off. They were ready to give up on her but I could see that she wanted to care about band but didn't know how to show it because she was so shy. I decided

During Senior year’s marching season, I was given two leadership positions. Section leader of the french horn section as well as Hornline Captain for the whole entire wind ensemble. I had many responsibilities and obligations to fill with both positions. With time,patience, and much failure I was able to rise to the challenge.

About three weeks into marching season, a spot opened up. Of course, I had to audition for the spot with the other alternates, but I was successful in winning a marching spot at that time and have never lost it. I also worked hard on becoming a better musician. I drastically increased my practice time and was fortunate enough to be able to hire a private tutor to improve my musical abilities. Now in my senior year I am in the top band and I am on the varsity marching squad. I have even obtained a leadership role in the band as a rank leader. As a rank leader I am a mentor and coach for several other students in the marching band. I really feel like I am providing these student the same thing that Zack Santos provided for me. It makes me feel good that I am assisting other kids in achieving their

Sensabaugh my leadership capabilities I knew I had them I just had to show it. Junior year came around and I became a squad leader for the show TIME. It was a great honor to be a squad leader. I had my squadlings and I taught them the drill, I made them laugh, but I kept them in line. During that band camp I went to the press box to ask Mr. Sensabaugh a question about the drill. After answering he stated “you are doing a very good job out there Mr. Dulka” I felt proud of myself in that moment I felt like I showed him what I could do as a leader, but that wasn't where I was going to stop. My entire career I lived under Andy Planitz’s shadow he was the best trumpet in our grade and he got most of the recognition. This moment where I was told I did a good job really made me confident in my abilities. Senior year came around and I ran for the Band Council President position after weeks of awaiting a decision I got the job. I was the leader of the band I made many key decisions regarding band camp the the shirts. I took the position and the responsibility with great pride I was ready to lead the band. Band has helped me create a lot of friends my best friend Adam will now stick by my side through

Summer before junior year of high school, I was looking at a lot of standardized tests, essays, a heavier school workload, college applications, and getting a driver's license; my most immediate concern, however, was the soon to begin marching band season. Spring semester of sophomore year I had decided to audition for a leadership position in the band, and I suppose I was the best candidate because I managed to snag Section Leader for my instrument, clarinet. As the final days of July passed by, I anticipated the start of a season where I would be mentoring and teaching my fellow clarinet players the complex art of marching band. A few days before leadership camp I received a letter in the mail from the Head Band Director, Mr. Larry Brown, and immediately I knew things were not going to be what I expected.

I have taken various leadership roles during my time in high school and I’ve contributed to multiple organizations including Maryland School for the Deaf. I volunteered for Camp Invention, a summer program focused on creativity, innovation, real-world problem solving and the spirit of invention. I, as a leader, taught elementary kids and encouraged them by proposing new problems, applying principles, and making suggestions. I also founded and currently manage social media accounts for our class (of 2018). During MSD football season, my coaches have recognized me as a captain multiple times for my excellent leadership and always encouraging my teammates to strive. In addition to that, my coaches also invited me to train and prepare elementary

For my freshman and sophomore years, I auditioned and was accepted into the symphonic band as a saxophonist. This was a major achievement for me because the symphonic band is our school's most prestigious band. I was unable to participate in symphonic band as a junior due to my surgery. Because of my passion for music, I did not want my jaw surgery to stop me, so I learned a new instrument in the percussion section. I participated in jazz band, concert band, and marching band. As a senior, I am back to playing my saxophone. I am also back to marching on the field. Additionally, I am an integral part of the band's leadership program. As a group, we find ways to improve the band program so that it will strive to be the best that it can be. I want to ensure that students behind me have the same opportunities I did so they can achieve their musical

A band is composed of many people with different personalities and skill sets. It is one organization with many different parts that work together to produce a final product. Everyone has to come together to make the performance happen, but it may be tough to get task completed when everyone

I have and continue to exhibit outstanding and excellent leadership throughout the progression of my junior and senior high school years. My primary source of leadership is through a school club called the Interscholastic Reading Team. I have been involved in this club for 6 years (7th-12th grades) while possessing leadership positions such as the Treasurer (10th grade), Secretary (11th grade), and the President (12th grade). The director of this club chose me for all three of these positions because of the leadership that I showed throughout the years of being involved in the club. As the positions I was chosen for I delivered passes to members of the club, organized the club, designed the t-shirts, presented the club to the junior high students,

I became section leader of the flute section in marching band for the 2016 season. To get into this position I worked extremely hard in marching band throughout the three years I participated. I had to be interviewed for the position by the band director, have good grades, and be hardworking and dedicated to the music program. I was so happy when it was announced that I would be section leader because it was a position I wanted since freshman year.

Until I reached high school, my parents never stressed about college. They never talked about college and majors or even scholarships. Moreover, I believed college was a dream, something that I shouldn’t pay much attention to. However, I desired to attend college, and at that time I assumed I would

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.

I had been working for a children’s summer camp for three years, I had been supervised by the same manager for two years. On my third year working there in the summer, there was a new manager for the camp and I received a higher position, Division Leader. One of my responsibilities was dealing with children, parents and staff conflicts. During my third year, when my new manager, Jason came in, he also brought some of his old staff with him. During our training, there was one staff member that got my attention, Joseph who was a previous staff member of Jason. He was a very outspoken and enjoyed being a leader of activities. When I recieved my list of staff members, I noticed that he was on my list as a regular counselor. When I announced that he would be a regular counselor
