Throughout my four years at the Bethel Park High School, I have represented myself as a strong leader. I never focused myself on just one aspect of leadership. To start, I have worked very hard to be considered as a captain of the cross country team, I currently hold the position of treasurer of the Journalism Club, and I am the head of a committee for the Principal Advisory Committee of Students. Being a leader in not something that I could learn from a textbook, it is a skill learned through my countless experiences. My current jobs that I hold give me great opportunities to prove my leadership skills. One of the most difficult is my referee job, which forces me to take the lead over coaches, players, and parents.
As well as valuing being
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
In the schools and also the community we need more leaders. Being a freshman of Lower Richland High school, I want to see students demonstrating more leadership. Often, I see student afraid to say no to peer pressure from other students. I want to see students leading by example. We need more leaders in this community, and less followers. In this essay I will discuss characteristic that describe a good leader, and what I want to see change in my community. .
It is hard to get people to follow you, but an outstanding leader has no problem convincing their teammates to follow their actions. Softball, Volleyball, Basketball, Dance, Cheer and Track have all given me leadership experience. During sports you always need a leader directing you in the right direction. I have learned to fill that role by always encouraging my teammates and try to keep the environment positive. I have attended the FFA Leadership Conference twice now and I have learned to never give up and always put one hundred percent effort into everything I do. I have also paged at the Topeka Capital and in doing that I've learned to always be professional and that getting out of your comfort zone can lead to good things. Another place I feel I have been a leader in is the classroom, not only
I have shown leadership throughout my time at Lincoln High School. When I was a trumpet section leader, I had to encourage the section to try their hardest and not give up halfway through the day. When our band director told us to run to our spots, I ran to my spot and encourage others that were lagging behind to hurry up. As a trumpet section leader, I encouraged others to memorize their music by being one of the first to complete all my music memorization tests. I show academic leadership by completing my assignments early.
Being a leader is being a role model and striving to make a positive impact on those around you. In order to be a successful leader, you have to put yourself second and your peers first. For example, my younger sister and I both play softball. I have played on several travel teams during the summer and this year, she tried out for her first competitive travel team. I was asked to aid her by helping her with the mechanics of the game. During this time, I sacrificed my time to put the needs of another person before my own and it paid off, because she made the team and I got to witness the results of my
I have exemplified leadership in a couple different ways through out my high school career. One way of this is through leading my team members in cheerleading. I look out for my new team members, especially since they are learning a lot of new material. This can be stressful and difficult at times. I know this feeling since I was once brand new to the Mason Cheerleading Program and didn’t know any of the material. If I
What is a leader? According to webster it's the person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. In most cases this is rather true and in ours it is the exact same yet there's so many underlying themes to what a leader is truly. When June rolls around i'll be preparing to represent Highland Park as a youth delegate leader in Washington DC for a summit on leadership . Ill learn a lot here and it ties into how effective a leader is and what a leader should do, but how does it relate to this? Its key to have a person in a leadership to have an understanding on how to lead a group of people as well as be dedicated to pushing positive into the organization, in this case colorguard. I'd love to write a ten page essay on all of my positive
I learned how to be a leader through my experiences in the softball community. A couple years back I tried out for a big local organization called the Bandits. It was suppose to be the best team around with high caliber athletes. And that’s just what we
My high school career has been marked by my leadership skills; I am student body co-president, on an advisory committee for the superintendent, and member of sports medicine. Starting my freshman year, I knew that I wanted more out of high school than a diploma. I wanted to be able to make a difference in the world and I feel that to do so, it is instrumental to possess the qualities of a strong leader. I wanted to learn how to effectively compromise, understand people who view the world though a different lens than I do, and bring out the best in my peers. I have always been driven, persistent, and task-oriented, and subsequently, the administrative aspects of the leadership positions came very naturally to me. However, the relational aspect did not and I learned to harmonize the value of relationships and responsibilities. Through these 4 years, I have developed strong communication skills, learned to be compassionate towards people that I don’t agree with, and the gravity of acting
I found a passion for swimming at a young age and I've been in the sport for over a decade now. As I grew, I noticed I had a leg length discrepancy. This was due to the cancer treatment I recieved when I was 2 years old. As I grew older I saw only horror as my left leg not only grew longer in length , but also larger in circumference than my right , due to the radiation treatment. There were points on the journey where I wanted to quit as I underwent surgery after surgery. For a while I continued to swim , but I didn't care about it much until something changed , this school year ( junior year). I asked myself, "Is this what I want in life? To continue to be held back while watching others succeed?" From then on I started to overcome many

Throughout my time in secondary school, I partook in numerous extracurricular activities. Within these activities, I quickly learned the value of leadership. Presently, I continue to grow as a leader through my participation within my school’s newest athletic pursuit.
Since my freshman year up to my final year of high school, I have always been involved in some shape or form of a leadership position.

The leadership roles I have acquired demonstrate that I can manage and work well with others.I have portrayed these characteristics through being a crew leader at my church’s Vacation Bible School. I lead several children in games, crafts, and songs throughout an entire week. I have furthermore taught children at a dance studio that I have personally danced at for twelve years. I lead two duets by teaching the kids new choreography every week and how to dance with proper technique. Though my leadership roles are limited, I have shown excellence in both by leading and working well with
From high school, I had a chance to work my leadership ability as joined a mission club in my high school. Since I was not talented and active person, I just did my best whatever I could as a member of the community.

I also try to be a leader like whom I met as helping and motivating members.
