Student Leadership Philosophy Statement

Everyone wants to be respected. It’s in our nature, but in order to obtain respect, first of all one has to respect oneself. Second, one has to show respect to others in order to gain respect from them. If one doesn’t show respect to someone, that person may often feel blown off and lose respect for you. Respect in my eyes is like a math equation loyalty plus duty equals respect. respect is gained in conducting ones self in a way that others can stand

Most of the time, I act as the leader in many activities such as group projects and class events. Additionally, I currently tend to the job of secretary of the sophomore class of 2020 with diligence and in an organized manner. Moreover, being a leader possesses more to its aspect because it is not only a role, but a lifestyle. Living this certain way assisted me in constructing my character and formed me into loyal, empathetic, accountable, determined, encouraging, respectful, selfless, honorable, innovative, and passionate student. In fact, it’s not about leading, it’s about serving our fellow peers to rise by lifting each other

When I joined marching band in my freshman year of high school, I felt nervous and reluctant about joining because I questioned my abilities. However, I decided to commit myself to it so that I would know if it was something meant for me to pursue in the future. On the first day, I was overwhelmed with the many people who I did not recognize, and I started to feel as if I should never have come. Things began to change for me when I met an upperclassman named Sophie, who was my flute section leader. She was kind to everyone and did not get upset if anyone made a mistake in the music or marching technique, but rather, she gave constructive criticism. Sophie was an amazing leader and musician, and she was, and still is, a role model to me. Without

Your quiet leadership and what you do behind the scenes to help your section and those around you become the best they can be is such an example. I am so proud of you. When somebody asks me about the Marching Band program at Alta, I immediately think of you and the different memories that we have. My heart swells with love and passion for our friendship and how much you go through to make those around you proud. It is so ridiculously hard to leave this program each day; knowing that the day is over and we cannot progress as a whole until the next rehearsal. Though each day we rip ourselves away from this room, I know full well that you are continuing to better yourself and grow in your abilities wherever you may

This week explored and learned that there are desirable leadership traits to acquire, that becoming a leader can be a conscious process and that being a leader also means to owe respect and have a responsibility to others.

When confronted with failure, we can give up or stand up. This choice can go all the way back to the playground. That first leap for the monkey bars more often than not ends with a face full of wood chips. At that moment, one must choose to dust themselves off and try again, or to wait for mom and dad to save them. As a freshman, I didn’t fail because I never ”leaped for the monkey bars.” My feet were planted safely on the ground, so I never took any risks. Being guarded meant I would never fail, which really meant that I would never grow. Luckily, I got involved with student leadership. My feet loosened from the ground and my character started to grow. I decided to apply to become a Colorado State Student Leader Repressive at the end of my freshman year. At that

If the world was a piece of sheet music, I would be the time signature. I would be the source of consistency to bring an entire population of people become of one accord. I make a difference on my team and in my community by being the pulse of the environment I'm in. This impact is embodied in my love for building and teaching.

The inspiration to touch the lives of other people espoused from this and began to manifest during my time in high school, especially in marching band. To my eternal gratitude I was granted the position, flute section leader where I was able to pass down my knowledge and witness the growth of the younger students. The two years of leading marked the starting point for my future endeavors into leadership and service. One of these roles is evidenced in my job as a Student Lead at Traditions at Scott and the higher role I take in assisting the current employees and training the incoming

If I wasn’t in band, I can scarcely fathom how my life would have turned out. It was only through this organization that I met so many wonderful individuals who have the same passion as I do. The summer of my freshman year, I attended my first marching camp. At first, I didn’t know anyone and was afraid of not fitting in. However, by the end of that summer, I can honestly say that the people I met there are like a second family. The challenges we faced, like marching competitions, would only strengthen the

Think of a school without a principal, or a hockey team without a coach. They wouldn't have very well outcomes will they? No, they would not, and thats because of a very simple reason; they don't have the leadership that they need in order to be a well rounded school or team. Having good leadership is essential in order to strive and accomplish things that are important in todays society. To me a grade 12 student at Memorial Composite High School leadership is an essential part of society. Leadership to me means order and commitment. We see leadership on an everyday bases. We see it in our teachers, our coaches and our principal; these are all people whom us as students look up to and respect.

I learned that leadership can be taught in a variety of ways to many ages. A leadership fable is a fun way for kids to learn about leadership theories. I learned that many forms and styles of leadership can be applied to everyday situations as well as rare occasions. People of all ages can understand leadership theories and apply them if taught in the right format for their age.

Becoming part of the band family my freshman year changed my perspective of life. Discipline, sociability, and early morning practices had became my daily routine. Being a member of band showed me that to be successful, work and time were to be put in. Not only did my instructor, Mrs.Meyer help me grow to learn that the best parts in life will be difficult. But that you will find yourself within time. I struggled with giving up when i thought situations were difficult. Yet it changed when I experienced my teacher helping me overcome fear. To this day, Now being a leader I thank my teacher for sharing her passion for helping us students realize that in life, we have to strive for our succession that will benefit us at the end. We all want to

Respect – The process of influencing goes beyond the use of rank, hierarchy or authority as the primary source of motivation to achieve the outcomes. The leader has to exhibit the correct values, act in a way and adopt a style that is consistent with his values.
