The Spark Peer Leadership Class

Leadership is being able to guide other students into being the best they can be. I am a leader who is always positive and cheering others on to achieve their goals. At my school, I have a position as the Vice President of Academics in National Honors Society. Since I have obtained this position, I encourage other students in this group to participate in service projects which is where one volunteers to help out the community in some aspect. These volunteering opportunities are good thing to do because it builds character and it is always fun helping others out. As a leader, I bring new ideas to the table on where we should help out in the community and anything that we could do in school that would fun and helpful. Along with participating in National Honors Society at my school, I am also involved in our Student Government Association. Although I do not have a leadership position in this club, I still engage in the activities that we do. For the past two years, I have gone to an annual meeting for leadership where multiple schools attend. At this meeting there are fun activities where you learn more about leadership and how to be a good leader. As a leader, these meetings help because it is always good to learn new

I would like to be in the Peer Leadership program because I want to obtain the skills necessary to be an effective leader. This summer I will be a counselor in training at Fairview Lake, so I believe that this Peer Leadership Program will fulfill and help finish my goal to strive to be a good leader and role model. In addition, I want to be one of the Peer Leaders who will serve to be a positive influence on students all around Summit. If I am a peer leader, knowing that kids will want to look up to me will help improve my impulse control. I tend to do things without thinking and I am continuing to improve this. One of the three qualities that make me a good role model is I care unconditionally for people because I along many others can relate to those who

A leadership experience in what I positively influence others and helped resolve disputes was Link Crew. Link Crew is a program where we help incoming freshmen to high school and show them around school and help them out on anything they need like homework. When I was a link crew leader I helped many kids who had low grades. While I was in this program I noticed that many kids had low grades and didn't turn in work or even their homework I did my best and talked to them about how they will struggle so much to get there credits later on some kids listen and did all their work where they at least passed their classes with a D or C. I had people who I got to meet during this I communicated with many people who joined this program and helped many kids. Students who come to high school think it will be very easy like in middle school but it will get harder each year. Many times I was helping the students I feel like It influenced them to work harder and be better in school and help each other in some ways. Link Crew was such a good program that it was where others students helped other students. I showed many leadership experience by joining this program.

Being a leader has always been extremely important to me. The past few years I have held many leadership positions to deepen my skills as a leader. Some of my most notable leadership positions of high school were that I was the secretary of my class, the secretary of my school’s National Honor Society, a member of the Youth Council for the Teen Leadership Corps, and a Student Ambassador for my high school. I have recently been chosen as a Peer Leader for the College of Business Administration (CBA), meaning that I will be available to help incoming freshman with whatever they may need as they make the transition to college. I was also chosen by the dean to give a speech at one of the largest high school visits for the CBA in order to inspire students to choose to come to Bowling Green. This was a very important experience for me because I had many high school seniors come up to me after the speech and ask me questions and reached out for advice from me. It is important to me that people value my advice because I believe that giving good advice is an imperative part of being a leader.

I think also as i work with students I’ll be able to give insight into situations I'm dealing with to my other peer leaders allowing us overall to be a stronger and more knowledgable group. No one of us is perfect so by grouping together and sharing our strengths were sure to impact each others lives.

I am interested in being a peer leader because I want to be able to help ninth graders see that high school is not an intimidating place. Most ninth graders are intimidated by high school because it a new environment- their future experiences there are uncertain. By sharing with them the reality of how high school works and giving them a more accurate representation of their experiences and relationships with teachers, I hope to lessen their fear of high

My own unique leadership experiences have shaped me over the years. Peer leadership and the Chick-fil-a Leadership Academy have offered me a wide variety of unique leadership experiences. I have learned so much from organizing charitable events, to teaching social skills to autistic and other special needs middle-schoolers and the ABCs and 123s to kindergartners. As a role as Varsity lacrosse captain allows me to mentor and share my experiences with other players. Last year, my advice helped a player decide not to quit the team.

I was part of the Freshmen 15 Leadership Program last year. It built on procured abilities such as scheduling, team building, communication and reaching resolutions in an 8-week seminar.

Although extracurricular interests provided by the school aid in the formation of my young adulthood, activities outside of this institution are indispensable to my psyche. One such aspect of my evolving development attributes from my service for the community. Through this work, I have not only acquired leadership expertise through social interaction and empowerment skills, but also through the positive reinforcement of others.

As a former employee as a cashier at Walmart, I had to meet strict expectations. It did not matter if I was sick or tired. I had to work 32 hours a week. I had to get hundreds of customers out the door and I had to scan at least 800 items per hour. Most importantly I had to do it all with I smile. I always did. I am a strong believer in hard work and putting other people's needs before your own. To sit and wait for the day to be over, for your bed to rest in, is no way to live. But to take every last ounce of your energy and put it towards another, that is something to take pride in. As a part of the Freshman Leadership program I would try my best to involve myself in order to be an affective contributor to the organization.

Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better. A youth leader is someone who helps and supports the young people in their community. They do things, not because they have to but, because they want to. Although this is my first year working with Marion Barry Youth Leadership Institute, I feel that I have grown as a youth leader. Marion Barry Youth Leadership Institute has helped me to better my networking skills and communication skills by being able to come face to face with my peers to discuss similar issues. The Marion Barry Youth Leadership Institute has helped me in my development as a youth leader by empowering me to be confident in my abilities and decisions. They have also helped me to become more approachable and accountable to others with the ability to communicate. Serving as a role model to my peers has helped me with the ability to analyze my strengths and weaknesses set personal goals

Before this class, I had a very primitive and vague definition of leadership. Not only did I define it as per my views and ideologies, but I also said that each individual has their own definition of leadership. My initial belief was that leadership does not have a clear cut definition, but there were well defined leadership traits which made an individual. I also initially believed that personal traits did not translate into leadership traits with no strong correlation. After going through the various modules this class offered, it is safe to say that I have significantly redefined leadership and underwent a strong personal assessment. This paper talks what I took back from each of the class activities, assignments and how my self-assessment compares to the perception of others.

For this assessment, the industry is defined as the handful of top business schools within the world that provide elite MBA degrees to Executives.

“He promised to find another route tomorrow. Wait a few days, and he’ll stop barking. I told him, you were sleeping and the barking would wake you. Don’t worry. We are okay. Remember, we are the pillars of society around here.” Sitting beside her on the sofa, he asked, “Are you all right?”
