Personal Statement : Being A Senior Official

I am writing today to express my interest in the newly posted Senior Advisor position at Tulsa Community College. I am an experienced advisor with proven skills working with students from diverse academic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds. This position aligns well with both my personal and professional aspirations in college student development.

1. Purpose. To describe my philosophy so that you understand how I will make rating decisions.

Over my short yet extensive career in both the healthcare, local government, non-profit areas I’ve had several experiences that triggered some form of leadership development. One instance would be as follows; several years ago when I was just a councilmen I firmly believed in saying what I thought was true as long as I could backup and acquisitions with facts. I was the person who tended to ignite the discussion since I said what no one else wanted to say. After running and getting re-elected to my second term I realized I could do more if I stopped being the ignition for discussion and switch to the shaper of the flame. I decided to run for Council President so I could take the discussion that came up and shape it into a workable solution for everyone. Becoming Council President stopped my ways of looking at things from my point of view. It lead me to

I bring activeness, as well I would keep chat clean from arguments, spamming, and advertisers. As well I would bring a calm, freindly environment to the board and answer questions for new or even veteran players. I don't keep grudges against one person because it could lead to terrible things in the future. I know personally becoming a Trial helper will be a big responsibility because of the amount of players that join and play on Arkham daily. I would like this role as Trial aswell because it could teach me new things, and help me with growing responsibility even more.

I am writing in reference to the Senior Instructional Designer position available at Point Park University. I became aware of the opening while reviewing the Point Park website. I am currently working as an instructional designer in higher education and believe my qualifications and experience would make me an excellent candidate for the Senior Instructional Designer position at Point Park. As an instructional designer for the last eight and half years, I have gained valuable experience designing instruction for extremely diverse populations. I have developed academic programs in a variety of disciplines and credential levels and also conducted research to support program review, revision, development and implementation. My project management,

I am currently Junior Class President and I would like to transition into Senator of Academics. Accepting the position of leadership this year was a true pleasure. I have learned and evolved as a leader this year because of the projects the junior class has to plan. Planning prom and Mr. Palm Desert has not been easy, but we are currently moving along. With some bumps in a road, we are on track to make this prom one of the most profitable and fun prom yet. Working with my fellow class officers has been fun because we bank on each other's strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am not an artist and I don't can not visually imagine something, so the other three class officers take charge with wall posters. I am very comfortable filling out paperwork

Profile of a Leader: My mom is a leader in my personal life that has had a positive impact on shaping my leadership skills. She has always been a leader in my life and my household. She makes sure to put people’s needs before hers and makes sure everyone is comfortable with what their responsibility is in the house. She makes sure to listen to everyone’s thoughts and concerns before making a decision and has always made a good and thoughtful decision according to everyone.

I worked as an assistant manager at a dry cleaners, Sky Cleaners, from July 2013 - December 2015 where I demonstrated the ability to work in a fast paced open environment. I worked on both discount days where activity in the store was higher than usual and I was consistently taking and fulfilling

Action Plan Achieving my personal leadership goals are will take place by me allowing myself to work with others more often to obtain a better understanding them. In my chosen career field I will always have to work with other. I will achieve this goal by working on my group skills as an undergraduate student through different organizations I am apart of and attending conferences that are inclusive of working with others and understanding others. Renewing organizations I am passionate about instead of quitting is another personal leadership goal. I will achieve this goal by staying committed to organizations I join and evaluating positions I take in certain organizations.

My primary short-term academic goal is to earn my Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Event and Meeting Planning before the end of 2016. My short-term plan includes reducing and eliminating the academic tuition cost from out of my pocket by obtaining scholarships, grants and tuition assistance from my employer and sponsors. Further, I plan to reduce the time required to obtain the degree, to quickly have the necessary skills and education to jump-start my own business as a Special Events Planner in 2017.

In our lives, we have to make important choices, and sometimes our choices determine our happiness or sadness. As a Filipino, our families tell us to do well in school and to not make bad choices because they want us to be successful and to have ethical morals. Growing up as a Catholic, I was taught to be obedient and respectful to my family which has shaped who I am today. Yet, I too made some mistakes, and I learned from the consequences. From my failures, I learned to not belittle myself, but to grow.

Since the time I was a child I have found myself to be very bossy. Leading others has always come very natural to me, I have found myself always assigning the tasks in group projects, keeping everyone in line, settling arguments. For the past four years of my high school career I had no idea what career I was going to pursue. One day I found myself thinking of my uncle, he is a top executive working for a branch of the Kentucky lottery. I am jealous of the lifestyle he lives and his financial security. But I am also jealous of his job, I realized that I would love to be in that career field, and would love to do what he does. So I decided that a career in business was the only logical career for me. Based upon my research

Business administration is a field of study that is the polar opposite of what I am known for. My whole life I have been known for being the creative musical type, no one ever saw me on the path of business. My social skills were not great and neither were my math skills, but those were not necessarily important in singing and acting. My path changed when I was asked one question; if you could work in any environment what would it look like, and the rest is history. A nice chair, no movement, and air conditioning. With some quick google searches I found it, Business administration!

In my last professional position I chose to blatantly disregard several obvious red flags, one of which indicated a strong undertow that certainly brought about second thoughts and felt troublesome. Again, qualitative measures such as organizational culture and their associated ilk represent incredibly difficult phenomena to wrap one’s arms around.

I have a wide range of skills and knowledge that I have acquired throughout my personal and professional life. I can communicate with different types of people regardless of age, race or class. I have accessed a huge range of courses that have enabled me to develop interpersonal skills including negotiation and dealing with different types of people and personalities. I also have the knowledge, drive and enthusiasm to work alone when required as I am self-motivated and can meet targets and deadlines. I believe that challenges are best met positively by developing and improving knowledge and skills and through professional reflective dialogue that leads to change. I am very hard-working and reliable. I work well under pressure achieving a high standard of work. I have practical and organisational skills and I can find solutions to problems and face challenges confidently.
