Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Program: A Personal Analysis

The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is an example of a community activity that I have actively taken many leadership roles in. Having served the Royal Canadian Air Cadets for more than four years with the 540 Golden Hawks Squadron, I partake in various activities. I have also learned numerous invaluable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and confidence, all of which are not spoon-fed to us, but rather acquired from the experiences that I have been through with cadets. We are constantly coached and supervised by Officers who encourage us to lead others. As we age and climb up the ranks, we are encountered with many leadership opportunities that we are strongly encouraged to take.

The core mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to become better citizens, a goal that shapes me for greater success. Through this student-led program, I’ve learned that leadership isn’t always authority and rank, but instead the influence left behind. Being involved in JROTC, I have seen many who have used their positions, high or low, to influence positive attitudes, team spirit and respect. Besides understanding the mere concept of leadership, I applied this trait in the program, with teams such as color guard and drill allowing me to command and mature my gregarious nature that helps me work with others. In-class curriculums taught me how to combat problems involving harassment, workplace ethics and moral values,

I have learned from fellow classmates and peers on how to become a selfless leader and follower thinking of others above myself. Throughout my four years of high school, I’ve been a part of many clubs, some that I am still involved in and some with important leadership positions. My main motive in getting involved with my community and school is to improve our school and community. In AFJROTC I have done over 250 hours of community service just within ROTC and have done over 1,000 community service throughout my community and school. I believe in selfless actions to help benefit my neighbor and peer to overall make us both superior. I am currently the Steele’s National Honors Society President, a Flight (class) commander and squadron (leader of all flights) commander, Business manager for 2017-2018 Squire magazine, Class of 2018 reporter (class officer). I have key positions in many clubs and organizations that have over this year improved and exceeded expectations. As I am a Leader, I have learned to become a respected, caring, strong-willed, straight forward, and reputative leader. I learned this mostly from the direction and teaching of Steele High School making me the leader I am

As people get older, leadership and involvement become a huge part of who they are and how they carry themselves. Are they able to take on responsibilities, express opinions and make decisions among their peers? Are they respectable and reliable and therefore able to inspire and support others? Are they outgoing, and positive? All are essential for a leader. Throughout the past 5 years, I have taken on several leadership roles. I have taken on more responsibilities in 4-H and Kane County Ambassadors. I have participated in high school cheerleading, competitive All-Star cheerleading, and Varsity cheerleading here at St. Ambrose. Additionally, I have gotten involved in SAU’s Student Government Association as the Freshmen Class President. Participation

Introduction: Years of commitment, dedication and serving the military with honor has paid off, and brought me to the threshold of Loyola University Chicago. For eight years I served as a Staff Sargent in the United States Air Force, but I began to desire more. I saw everything I had done thus far as a prequel to my next career goal. I was taught to be a leader in a place where a split second decision could change lives. Loyola’s focus on making students responsible leaders will strengthen the tools already in my toolbox.

I’ve been involved in Boy Scouts since I was in the 6th grade. My leadership abilities, self-discipline, and personality really developed from my Boy Scout career. The Boy Scouts also fueled my passion for the outdoors and exploration. I’ve been camping more times than I can remember and it's truly developed me as a person to love and respect the outdoors. At the age of fourteen, my troop elected me Senior Patrol Leader, the highest position a youth can hold in a troop. I attended N.Y.L.T. (National Youth Leadership Training), a weeklong training seminar that focused on leadership. Attending this training was the single most influential experience because I still refer back to what I learned four years later. The leadership skills I learned

By getting my chance to be a captain this year, I had to step up to be someone the girls would look up to and respect. My current leadership qualities have not always appeared due to my introverted personality, but by maturing, it has been easier to provide advice and guidance to others regarding tasks that I have struggled with in the past. My growth from being a shy freshman to a supportive, focused senior has been a true transformation that has helped me become more active in Chilton High School extracurriculars, and will also aid me in succeeding in higher education by making it easier to cultivate personal connects with

A major leadership experience that I had at my high school is in our student government: REBAR, an acronym for Reinforcing the Student Body of Academy of the Redwoods. Our primary role in the community is facilitating school events, most notably the new student orientation. At the beginning of every year, REBAR members including myself apply leadership skills to a group of new students to teach them about our school and show them around our campus. This opportunity leaves a lasting impact on all students at my high school, Academy of the Redwoods. This is largely because REBAR is responsible for creating the first impression that new students get of our school. This responsibility lasts beyond orientation day. Since we have familiarized ourselves

My education, life experiences, motivation, hard work, and compassion allowed myself to grown into an affective leader. In turn, my growth as a leader enhanced my professional development. My organization and drive to succeed lead my group of adolescent youth to mature and grow into themselves at a faster rate. This leadership role can be summed up no less than difficult but has taught myself just how much balance can equate to well roundedness. These four summers have taught me to capitalize on my strengths and learn from my mistakes and weaknesses. I can now say that through these four summers the skills, knowledge and leadership I have gained will transcend into my life both in college and in the real

As a student, I’ve always been a little different from others, though not in a bad way at all. If you ask many of my teachers, both previous and present, I’ve stood out for my peculiar strategies, eccentric energy, and over all the way I express myself. With this being said, it did not surprise me at all when I got chosen, so bless-fully, to attend the Maine Youth Leadership Seminar in May of my sophomore year.

As a Junior Counselor at Camp Graham Girl Scouts Camp I watched after all of the kids, planned fun academically charged events, and made sure everything ran smoothly. This organization gives strong leadership characteristics and other vital skills to young girls of all ages. It also provides positive role models for them to aspire to become. After attending Camp Graham for my summers as a kid, I looked up to the counselors and someday dreamed of becoming one. This dream became a reality this summer. From this inspirational life changing experience I learned how to be fun, how to be a leader, and most of all; I learned how to be a role model for children to strive to one day be like. I helped mold young girls love for reading, STEM, and other

During the summer in between my Junior and Senior years of high school, I attended West Point’s Summer Leadership Experience. The main focus of the summer camp was to submerge high schoolers into the West Point culture by allowing them to live like cadets. Living the military lifestyle made me completely change the way I typically am. The students I was with took the opportunity very seriously so I mirrored their intensity. I began talking and even walking much differently through being in the military setting. I was extremely obedient and much more stern than usual. I took on a new role in the situation based on others’ expectations—this sense of societies norms that I used to evaluate myself is what George Herbert Mead

I am one third of the way through 12th grade at Newark Academy in Livingston, NJ, finishing up my fall semester and in the midst of my college applications. Academically, I have earned National AP Scholar and National Merit honors. I am also heavily involved in my school’s Student Government, as I am the current Upper School Council President in our School Council. After holding the positions of representative and scribe during 10th and 11th grades, I ran for president of the school in order to lead the council during my Senior year. Over the years as a patrol leader and assisstant senior patrol leader, I have advised scouts on rank advancements, outdoor skills, and merit badges. I applied these skills to the similar environment of th school council, guiding younger representatives through familiar processes and events in order to teach them skills of organization, responsibility, and how to represent the people. However, none of this guidance could have been possible without the leadership skills I learned in Scouting.
