My definition of leadership is to be able to support, motivate, and inspire a team to accomplish any goal at hand. I have first hand experience in the leadership role. I have been involved in group and team related projects for the majority of my life. For example, I have been on a dance team for the past eighteen years. During those years, I was a part of the University of Monroe’s Hawkline. Also on campus, I am involved in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Being involved in those groups
A good leader inspires people to better themselves. I feel I am a good candidate for the National Honor Society because I have leadership experiences in refereeing youth soccer games, volunteering in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and taking Links, which is a class that helps students with autism in their classes. While referring children's soccer games I had to pick and choose the calls that I had to make so the kids could learn the game but also have fun playing the game. Even though some
It will also inspire others to sing for themselves even if they think they can’t. I do believe that there will be other musicians in this compound but I believe that there are never too many musicians to take in. I remember as a little girl, how much I enjoyed singing. I’ve experienced many events that have to do with using this talent of mine. For example, In 2010, I sang “10,000 reasons” at a Christmas Banquet and now I sing on a praise team at church. Music is a big part of me and is also
People argue about what develops a person: is it the environment or their genetic makeup that make someone who they are? I agree with the former. It is the experiences that cause a person to change; it is the experiences that a person learns what they seek; it is the experiences that teach a person about life. The death of my father and the ensuing financial instability is the environment I developed in and ultimately drove me to be who I am today. My father’s death rattled my family and put us in
Lebanese culture. I have learned how to successfully incorporate both of these cultures into the person who I am today, and I’m equally proud of both parts of me. Growing up as a minority, I learned that diversity makes the world a special place and that there is beauty behind every culture and religion. I firmly believe that my cultural background has helped me develop into the accepting person I am today. As I transition to the new chapter of my life, I am very excited to interact with and
heroes were my utmost comfort; they inspired my confidence and my character, and moved me to be a more visceral, understanding person. I believe that during my time I have been wizened, and connected to the roots of all humanity; in my imagination I see it as the growth of a sampling into the dampness of the earth and the jaded formation of rough bark. Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose transcendental views have inspired me, was once quoted as saying, “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make
experiences have led me to this point—an accepted student at Tulane University. While I wish I could take all the credit, there have been so many people who have influenced and helped me along the way. My parents and my sister have been my rock throughout the years. No matter what I have taken on, no matter how impossible it may have seemed, my family has supported me. My parents are hard-working, caring people who have raised me to be a considerate, diligent, and selfless person. I owe all of my success
show that inspires people to follow their dream. There are many shows they were produced to do just this. They demonstrate that no matter how different you may be or where you’re from anything can be possible if you work hard enough. Motivating the youth as well as adult population to go after a career or passion. For this reason, no one show is the greatest of all time for the entire population. Each individual has a show that they admire and enjoy watching. This show should allow the person to forget
We are only strong to a certain point. We can only bend so far before we break. Frederick Douglass is an African American abolitionist leader who was born into slavery around 1818. Douglass slave owner was Covey and he always managed to find a way to punish his slaves. Douglass was at least whipped once a week. He didn’t even have time to heal from his previous beating before he was whipped again. This is what caused Douglass “ breaking point’’. When Douglass became older he realized that slave owners
Reading was my ultimate escape from the realities of life. My parents immigrated from Cali, Colombia to Queens, New York when I was only three years old. My education in New York is what deeply rooted my love for schooling. My parents instilled within me a set of beliefs that included the importance of education and literature. In recent times, literacy rates in Colombia are on the rise after multiple campaigns geared towards improving the amount of resources available to schools for teaching reading
