Statement Of Purpose: The Colleyville Heritage Leadership Program

A leader is someone who is confident, honest, and passionate. Although I might not have these traits in every situation, I believe I am a leader. At my school, I am a gym leader for physical education classes. This was something that I choose to do because I thought it would be fun, but I ended up learning very much from it. When I first signed up for this class, I thought it would be easy and something that was just easier than working out every day, like a normal gym class. This year, I got a class of sophomores and was the only gym leader, guided by my teacher. This group of students was a lot more challenging than I expected them to be, even including IEP students. Although I might not have been effective when trying to help the students,

To begin, I exhibit qualities of a great leader. Firstly, at my Saturday morning bowling league, I am positioned as the anchor, which means I am expected to lead my team to victory..

When we think of leadership, what comes to mind? Is it the bold, charismatic, and passionate person who takes the group on their back? Or is it really the more quiet and realistic leader who has a compromising attitude? Most people will think of a loud and passionate person who can grab the attention of an audience. But leaders come in all shapes and sizes. Leadership is defined by dictionary.com as the ability to guide or influence others to achieve a common goal.

I feel that being a leader means having a passionate vision, and sharing it with others. Only when you get to inspire your peers, it is possible to share a common goal, you can then direct the efforts and dedication of the entire team. I am a leader on the soccer field. I know what we are all supposed to be doing and I like to give feedback and help teammates improve so we can work better to be stronger on the field.

What is a leader to you? Is it someone you trust? Is it someone you like? Well, I think a leader is intelligent, brave, and sacrificial. I also think that Odysseus is an example of a great leader.

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.

In the past, I never really saw myself as a leader because they were described as people who had charisma and a very strong presence, while I stood as the polar opposite. It wasn’t until high school that I learned more of what makes a leader a leader, and that outward appearance is merely the shallow end of the ocean. My nature of yielding my personal interests for the needs of others and willingness to hear all opinions were long developed skills that I never labelled as part of that ocean, until now. I might not be the center of attention in most settings, but that does not make me any less of a leader. In this way, I fit the pillar of

I feel being a good leader requires having good character. I value being a person whom someone can trust and rely upon.

I’m not a stereotypical leader. I don’t lead a sports team or a club or even group projects, but I lead a pack of my own. I find myself to be a leader in my family, not just because of being the oldest brother but because of how I project as an idiosyncratic leader.

First of all, I believe everyone is a leader in their own way, whether it is professionally or in their daily lives. Each person has the potential to touch someone in a way that can change their life forever. I personally try to see the good in everyone, as well as push them

Overall, I am a pretty good leader in some areas and like to help others in their time of need. However, I am only a good leader depending on the situation and that is the major thing

Due to my passive nature, I’ve always avoided leadership roles. With that being said I still aspire to be someone who can be looked to as a leader. In order to reach that goal I observe and try to mimic the actions of people that inspire me. There have been many people I’ve taken orders from, but I have “followed” few. Those are the ones I consider to be true leaders, and have tried to be like myself.
