I am very excited to be nominated for a membership in the National Junior Honor Society. I believe that I am a good candidate because I possess the qualities needed to be a good member. I am very invested in my grades, leadership skills, helping others, and staying true to who I am.

But like every leader, I am not perfect, and have my strengths and weaknesses. Experience helps with this and the least you should get out of experience is learning about yourself and your style of leadership. Because of my experience I have learned what I am good at and what I need to work on in my leadership
decision rests on a leaders shoulder. It can be overwhelming, stressful, and even intimidating at times. At what point do I know that I am and will continue to be a successful leader? That can be a difficult question for one to answer, because success, as I have learned, is different to everyone. A great place to begin is to point out all of the things I am doing wrong as a leader. After the reading and understanding of “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There”, I’ve come to learn I have a few of the
I am not the type of person who needs to be in charge of every detail. Generally, I prefer to put my energy into supporting them by carrying out their instructions.

The question was: how? I attended orientation and it was one of the best weekends at UNG. I fell in with the love and passion the orientation leaders had and from that moment I knew that I have to become an orientation leader. I want to share the amazing experience that orientation offers upcoming freshman. In addition, I am a commuter and want to help upcoming freshman know that they have access to resources that UNG offers even if they are commuters. I want to make them feel welcome and part of
