Middle School has impacted my life in such a huge way by giving me responsibilities, multiple opportunities for different activities, and lots of friendships. I enjoy being a big part of the school and showing my abilities as a student, in and outside of the classroom environment. I've done student council the past two years at Whitford Middle School, as well as yearbook community the past three years. In my 8th grade year, I have definitely learned multiple qualities and advantages of being a leader. In fact, in my third year of being on the yearbook community, I became the editor who was in charge of everything. That really showed me a lot about myself, and that I really can improve and help Whitford and hopefully Beaverton next year. I like …show more content…
Also, I try to include many others in the way I want to change or exceed something at Whitford, to see different opinions and what the majority of the students really care about. Although I only count as one, my outgoing, yet easygoing personality really helps me lead at Whitford, and will hopefully at Beaverton as well. I'm not the student who sits in class and doesn't talk for 90 minutes, although I do my work efficiently and to the best of my ability. Talking is helpful to me so that I can ask my peers for help, as well as their opinion on something class related. I try my hardest to achieve my goals, as well as pushing myself harder every day. I would like to bring new, unique ideas to Student leadership, and use teamwork to bring even bigger and better ideas for the …show more content…
For example, varieties of colleges and jobs like to see the different activities I was a part of during high school. Also, being on student leadership would help me with job interviews, class discussions, and planning. As of now, I am a leader at Whitford Middle School, and that makes me feel proud of myself to be able to lead the school in such a positive way. In High School, there are even more opportunities in Student leadership than there are in Student council which will hopefully expand my ability to lead. Also, I have always been interested in leadership because I like to take charge of responsibilities and am always on top of my academics. During middle school, leadership has been a great way for me to get more involved with the school and help out in the best way I can. Leadership has already taught me so much, as well as helping me as an individual. I hope to learn more qualities of being a leader and become an overall better person if I get the chance to be on Student leadership at
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 was part of the Air Cadets, a program to help the youth with leadership and teamwork skills, I showed my leadership skills by raising money for my squadron. Air Cadets allowed me to take part in my own community. I am active in many sports such as; golf, tennis, table tennis, soccer. I also enjoy playing chess with my brother and father and I enjoy skiing and skating during the winter time. At school, I try to enjoy it instead of seeing it as a stressful job, I make sure that even if I have stress, I can deal with it calmly and effectively. I easily understand concepts and learn new things quickly which will benefit me if I miss a month of school for this program. I usually do my assignments beforehand so that I have time to add any final touches and have it edited by my peers and teachers. I show my leadership in many different ways. I take the initiative of helping teachers, my fellow students and my parents. I help
I have been the president of my school’s Junior Civitian club for 2 years now and I was color guard caption for two years also. I have learned how to become a leader. I also went to Girl State where I learned how to become a better leader. Becoming a leader is challenging, especially in high school, when you want to do what everyone else is doing. I have learned that being a leader you should be fair and treat people as if they are your peers and not lower than you are. As a leader I am the first person their and the last person to leave. I also have made myself available to the people in Junior Civitan and the people on the color guard team. I also have an ambitious attitude, as should ever leader. I will always try to keep everyone cheerful
I really appreciated watching the documentary about Little Rock Central High School in class this week. “Little Rock Central High School is an accredited comprehensive public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.” I had never hear about the school before or knew the history behind what happened many years ago. I cannot imagine what it must have felt like for African American kids to go school for the very first time with a bunch of white Americans who did not accept them at the time. Nine simple ordinary African American kids worked so hard to allow a chance for them to receive an education in a school that was not segregated. To think about how much bullying they went through and how much verbal and physical abuse they must have endured
The leadership that I have is quite impressive. I do not find messing around in class as part of my motto. In my eyes I believe I am very worthy to be in N.H.S. I won’t be missing meetings because if I commit to something then I stick with it. Having great leadership is very important in being a part of this society which is what I have.
I think that if you were to ask my close friends or family, they would say that I am a natural leader and hardworking. As the captain of my lacrosse team, I am a leader on the field. In this position even though I strive to be the best I can, I find it more rewarding to watch my team succeed and improve above myself. I’m very passionate about motivating my team mates to be better and not just bossing them around. You can also find me as a leader of the Student Council at my school. Here I have been in charge of and organized countless events like the CB East’s annual Homecoming. This example also goes to show how hard working I am. I take these school events very seriously and I want every student to have a great time; I stay after school for
When it comes to leadership the mores experience you have, the high chance of success the team has. National Honors Society is a brilliant program, in which it allows students to take part in programs that have a positive impact on the community. This would help me in the future because with the ability to be a leader I can see what works and what does not. Also with the lessons I learn about leadership I will be able to use it in my future career field. With the experience of being a leader, I can further my career by planning events with museums and exhibits.
1. What is your main reason for applying to be a leader? In all honesty, the main reason why I would like to be a leader this year is because I love helping people. This past year, they needed any type of assistance, and I love that I was able to encourage them to do their best.
Academically, I rank 107 in a class of 1010, have competed on our cross country team and competed with great success in cross fit competitions as well as serving as an instructor. I was honored to serve as President of the Student Council as well as the organization. My leadership roles in high school have presented many unique challenges that I have met through team building, a strong work ethic and personal example. Our success has resulted in our groups being stronger and more cohesive. I am especially proud of leading students from different backgrounds, establishing common goals, working together and initiating action plans that have made our school a better, safer, wholesome
I have grown and learned more than I thought possible. I discovered about myself. I’ve never thought of myself as a leader, but because the class used group thinking in more than one occasion, I found that I am a good leader. I communicate my ideas to the group while trying to balance the ideas of others so the group can come to an agreed upon decision. The biggest hurdle in the
The reason I am applying to be a leader predominantly is because I think being in this this leadership position is likely the best way for me to learn. I have found that when I am leading I get a lot more out of the experience than simply being a participant. For example, leading a Bible study on campus I have to think critically about the text, examine my own thoughts about it, and then create questions that will spark discussion. I have found that I love leading that Bible study because it has forced me to be completely engaged with scripture in ways that I haven’t before, and in ways that I might not have if I was just a participant. I am realizing more and more that leadership is not a burden, but rather a privilege to see through this new
I lead to help other people come out from their shell and see the opportunity there is in the world. I lead to bring a sense of security in every class I encounter with my classmates. I lead to let people know that their voices matter. I lead to foster an environment in which everyone has their shot in society and in life. I lead for the people to enjoy the high school journey, not to complicate it. I lead for a indispensable mission, not an agenda. I lead to remind everyone that work
As the years have passed, however, I have definitely emerged as a leader. Over time I have become involved in more and more leadership positions in my extracurricular activities. I joined the Beta Club, a perfect opportunity seeing as it is a club dedicated to cultivating new leaders out of students. It seemed to work. The following year I ran for Student Government and was elected as a page. I also took on management of the
During my middle school years, I met so many new people, created bonds, and tried new things. I created memories with different people and through things I never would’ve expected myself doing. Throughout everything I did in middle school, they were the greatest memories ever. I treasure these times and will always. Looking back on middle school, I really appreciate the opportunities that were given to me.
The teachers taught me well, while my peers taught me more about life. I made my best friends in middle school and we are a family now. I cherished the time I spent in middle school. I was a top student who was doing well, had many friends, and was making a name for myself in sports and extracurricular activities. Then once again graduation rolled around and I had to leave all of the good things behind. But I was ready to embark on an education that was more geared towards my future.
