Edward Everett Hale: President Of Randolph Community College

As a committed member of the SGA/Leadership class, I was taught to lead by example. I achieved missions to instill values of integrity, passion, and service as I cooperated that into my school and community. The class handed me the opportunity to host school-sponsored events while giving me a hands-on, authentic opportunity to learn and develop leadership skills for the future and put the skills learned into practice through the coordination of planning and implementing events. I was nominated to chair numerous committees. Through delegating tasks, working tight-knit with others, laying a foundation for rules, integrity, and values, I earned credibility. My leadership skills spoke "do as I do" and not "do what I say" which enabled others

“I alone can not change the world,but I can cast a stone across water to create many ripples” (Mother Teresa) shows my willingness to make a change in life even if it means I have to take it step by step. Since the age when I began to speak and walk I would always find the way to help those in need. I watched my parents struggle to pay bills and always stressing out over if we had enough to eat. Helping others was what made me feel like I had a meaning in life. It was the littlest things that made me happy from watching a baby’s laugh to feeding the poor. In eighth grade Mrs.Perez the librarian along with myself helped to organize a group which gathered donations of clothes and canned

Prior to read all the articles and the book, I did not regard myself as having any leadership position because I believed that to be a leader you need to have a title. Moreover, in my opinion leaders were people that exerted power over someone else. However, after reading the book You Don’t Need a Title to be a Leader, by Mark Sanborn my definition of leadership changed. According to Mark Sanborn (..), “leaders are people that inspire and influence others, coordinate efforts and work with others to achieve goals, affect the quality of others experiences, and shape their life and carriers (p.).” Through this point of view, I can consider myself as being a leader in many aspect of my life. I am a leader as a nurse when a coordinate care

Firstly, in my Academic Career, I have held a multitude of leadership roles. My sophomore year , I was a class representative for Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America, commonly known as FCCLA. It was my duty to alert members and keep them up to date regarding meetings and activities. As a representative of FCCLA, I learned how to work as a unit leader and a team member.That same school year, I ran for the district office of secretary for FCCLA. The nomination and election process, gave me the opportunity to grow and nurture my leadership abilities. It was eminently challenging; but I learned the importance of discipline and hard work. I accomplished my goal and was nominated Secretary for FCCLA. This office allowed me to meet plenty

The role of leader did not appeal to me, the only reason why I didn’t look forward to leading was because I didn’t think anyone would follow. Mr. G expressed to me that I needed to take pride in what I do and set the standard for others to follow. I took these words and put them into action with my first step starting with the track team. I quickly began to inspire others to reach beyond their capabilities and perform with maximum effort. The classroom processed the same way, Mr. G made each and everyone of his students give their best efforts on each test we took and our test scores gradually

Before now, I never really thought about being a leader. I always believed a leader was someone at the top, making decisions like a general in the army. The summit gave me a lot different perspectives on what a leader actually is. One thing that was said that really stuck with me was, “your college degree isn’t just for you. It is also for all those who come after you.” It was then that I really understood what a leader is. A leader is one who works their hardest to become the best person they can be, so they can set an example for others and help those who come after them.

Being a leader is more than simply holding a leadership position or having the ability to lead. Everyone is capable of being a leader, but not everyone exercises his or her leadership abilities. Each person’s idea of leadership is different. My idea of leadership has developed over time, and being a member of the President’s Leadership Class has helped me develop my philosophy of leadership further than what it was two months ago. My personal philosophy of leadership is the ability to effect change through leading by example, taking initiative, and encouraging others.

I occupy my time in clubs and activities that both captivate my interest and are most important for my peers and me. These include but are not limited to my positions in Link Crew, Student Council, and Senior Board. They range from Senior Class Representative to Vice President. Many of my teachers and mentors have identified a characteristic of mine as a great leader, and I wanted to improve on these skills. I don't dominate discussion or action, I simply guide it. I take all of my positions seriously and always bring my best attitude; my leadership methods distinguish me from other

A true leader stands high on on the pillars of success: dedication, servitude, respectability, and honesty. The mark of a fulfilled life is not one who has collected many awards, not one who has an insurmountable amount of money and fame, it is one who has touched the most souls in his journey of life. A leader destined for greatness will touch many people along their journey to the top. In my short years on this Earth I have made it my mission from the start to leave a lasting impact on everyone I come in contact with and as a student of Howard University I will continue my mission without fault. From birth my parents noticed I had an insatiable thirst for knowledge, a heart of gold and an unconquerable ability to lead. In the 5th grade I was awarded the

One way that I can be a changemaker at Boehm and my community, is by showing kindness. Kindness is a great way to to show others that you are thinking of them. For instance, if I were to see a student in the hallway drop all of their books, I would help pick them up. Doing this, the student might not feel as embarrassed, and see that not everybody will just walk past and laugh. In addition to that kindness could be a changemaker in your own community. For example, if I were to be playing outside, and I saw my neighbor struggling with their groceries, I would go and help them out. By showing this random act of kindness, they might think that I am a great help, and know that would be their to help them anytime.

For many years, I have been told by teachers, family, and friends that I am a good leader. Until fairly recently, I had never truly thought about what it means to be a good leader and just took it as a compliment. Leadership is an intangible concept which cannot be properly outlined in a dictionary, but one which must be formed and explained only through one’s own philosophies and experiences.

After being in the community of Godinez I can see how people would struggle to see how it is possible to cause a change in a Community if something you do can be seen as so little, however, even the smallest things can make the biggest difference. For instance, during my Sophomore year, I began to attend Saturday School not because I needed to but, because I wanted to help out the teacher in any way I could. I would assist a teacher in instructing a full Class of Chemistry students, now this isn't the most memorable or impactful feat that one could do, but, I felt like I was helping people gain a greater understanding of the subject by just helping out and giving away those Six hours every weekday to help those upperclassmen gain higher grades.

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something” (Edward Everett Hale Quote). Everybody has the opportunity to make a positive change in the world, yet so often people do not take advantage of the opportunity they are given. In many cases, it is because people are too concerned with how much of a difference they can really make. If what they do will not change much anyway then why try at all? For example, if I donate fifty dollars to my charity then I have done something good, but it is nothing compared to a sponsor who can donate ten thousand dollars with one check. I walk away feeling like I could not make a difference like the sponsor can, so why should I even put in the effort…??? Trapped in the same kind of

Everyday individuals try to find effective ways to make a difference in their community. I try to improve the quality of other people’s lives by working together with other people. Individuals can work together to make a difference in the community by volunteering at a nursing home or tutoring people who are having problems with schoolwork.

When reflecting on my experience as both a student and a life learner, I never would have considered myself a leader. In fact, I have always been the shy kid who hides in the back of the class and panics whenever it is their turn to respond to a question. College however provided me with an opportunity to develop myself as a leader. I became more active in school activities and actively sought out leadership roles. As I’ve progressed in my professional life, I’ve become more interested in what it takes to make a strong leader. When assuming leadership roles, I’ve always considered myself an authentic leader but I know I’ve often struggled in detailing clear goals for my group or organization. Thankfully, Enrolling in the effective
