Why Are You Interested In Being A Peer Leader

I personally believe that Physical Education is a beneficial part of our knowledge and well-being. If accepted into the Physical Education Leadership Program, my motive is for other students and incoming freshman to see P.E. class as a place of growth and improvement, and also a place where you can enjoy and meet new people. During my 1 ½ years of being a student here at MCHS, I have met many people and have made many friends through P.E. class. If I become a P.E. leader, I will encourage and help students to do their best and to have confidence in what they do in and even out of P.E. class. Like many others, I am a shy person. If accepted into the program, I feel it would help me break out

Since childhood, I had a chance to develop my leadership and organizational skills through sports and had my school team win many competitions. My school is one of the places where my leadership qualities are valued as I often become a head of many activities, such as staging plays, organizing shows and school trips with my teachers. Being a leader gives me the opportunity to work in a team and consider my peers’ ideas to make our plans creative and enjoyable for everyone. My personal traits help me to gain trust and respect of my peers as they believe me to be a positive, open-minded and reliable person. I have learned to solve problems and conflicts thanks to this great experience of leadership, and I am always ready to assist my peers when it is

I am intimately familiar with the workings of the club, as I have been involved in a leadership role from nearly the first day. While the rest of my fellow officers are seniors and will graduate this June, I hope to carry on in a leadership role and ensure the club we have worked so hard to establish will continue to flourish. Through my experiences this year, I know specifically which aspects of the club are running smoothly and which need more work; I know which of our efforts were successful, and which missed the mark. I hope to bring my knowledge to the NHS leadership team in my senior year so that the State High chapter will have a bright and stable future. Furthermore, I possess the qualities necessary to be a strong leader. In addition to my organizational abilities, I can communicate effectively and appropriately with both my peers and my teachers. I am dedicated to my work, and independently motivated to achieve success. I am an excellent team player, having had significant practice this year both leading a team as an officer and working within a team and delegating tasks as head of the Bunny Hop 5k advertising committee. Given the opportunity, I would enthusiastically utilize and continue to develop all of these skills as president of the State High

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.

Being an older sister, friend, and active student in and out of the classroom, I’ve oftentimes been the person that others look up to for advice or ideas. One specific area that I am a leader in is the Cherokee Art Club. This year I was named group leader, which is a person that guides fellow club members by giving them directions, providing support and encouragement, and making sure that everything is going as planned. I was appointed to this position because of my dedication and effective leadership skills last year. Because of all the clubs and activities I’ve been apart of, I became a very confident and effective leader. Even though it wasn’t an easy feat, it is extremely valuable thing to offer to the world and to the National Honor

By seeing their leadership roles you get to look at how they work in groups which links back to their character. If the student can only work by themselves, it shows they aren’t versatile. It is useless if you know everything but can bring nothing to a group setting. Especially when you learn so much from a group. This summer I went to a leadership camp and all of the activities involved my leg, which is what we called a group, of 10 future leaders.

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

Within the last three years at Westside High School, I have not only pushed myself academically, but athletically as well. I do everything within my capability to keep my grades to a high standard while absorbing knowledge that will help better my future. Beginning in my ninth grade year, I decided I wanted to take leadership rolls within my school. I was a member of the varsity cheerleading squad, a member of Westside student council, and a member of the track and

I have demonstrated the qualities of a capable and trusted leader through my involvement in my school, work, and community activities. I have held a part-time job at my church's daycare where I help create a safe, loving, caring, and nurturing learning environment for children of the ages zero to five. All the while, I have continued to be an active member in school functions and be in leadership positions in various clubs. Currently, I am serving as the District 17 FBLA President and the President of Northeast Vernon County's National Honor's Society Chapter. I have also been involved with sports throughout my high school years where I also demonstrated leadership abilities serving as our cheerleading Captain last year and Co-Captain the year

I do lead by example by using my volunteer hours and volunteering constantly on my own spare time. I am an individual who is open to others opinions and to experience. I am very respectful always trying to follow the “golden” rule, of treated others like you would like to be treated. I value diversity and inclusion as we all do not come from the same walk of life, but we all should appreciate each other differences as a blending of ideas lead to greatness. I am non-judgmental to people that I meet or speak with as the outside of someone doesn’t always reflect the goodness that could lie within an individual. I have the ability and willingness to represent the chapter in a positive way, by wearing my Wells Fargo volunteer shirt when I go to events and engaging team members to participate in volunteering. I have the willingness and the ability to be a valuable contributor to the team and be a part of a team to get others more involved within the community. I possess good communication skills verbally and written when speaking to others. Finally, I will be able to make the minimum one year commitment, but hope to be a part of the chapter leadership team for many years to

I recently attended a leadership conference at Dixie State University where they had students that were in leadership roles come and interact with different schools. In that meeting they explained the importance a person can have on others and the benefits of becoming involved in the school can have on us. We had great speakers throughout the meeting, one of which was involved in the computer program and he explained the amount of knowledge he had gained since high school and college. He was into computer technology all this life and just recently got into the medical field where he expressed how happy he is to be advancing in technology. All the roles I have been a part of have strengthened me as an individual and I know I can take all these experiences and apply them to my future goals.

6. What kind of impact do you hope to have on your college campus and during your college experience? Why?

Working with others helps to bring the best out of one selves. Just like how I worked with my friend to come up with successful teaching strategies. I will continue to be a volunteer there to help support the students in their everyday academic struggle. I will continue to work as a team member with the Principal as well as the other volunteer to best come up with ways to better help the students. We all start out as a novice, however even the experts had to at one time start out as a novice. I am soon working on becoming an expert by practicing and polishing my teaching skills, however it will take more experiences and more hours volunteering. I heavily relied on the Principal and my friend who was a volunteer there as a mentor to help and guide me.

To become a peer leader, you obviously need to be a good leader. In fact it’s even in the name! My strongest skills are being very democratic, a good coach, extroverted, confident, empathetic, and motivated. I do not mean democratic as a political preference, but I am a firm believer in carrying the whole team to the goal and letting people vote for what they would like. If the team can’t come to consensus, I am able to either make a decision out of the majority or come to a compromise with a blend of all ideas. I am also a good coach; I will be able to show a lot of empathy and awareness to know when and who to tell when trying something new to improve a team member. I will be able to develop relations with
