Nashua Plainfield Reflection

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

It’s about knowing your team and yourself, and doing your best job setting both up for success. I demonstrate leadership in One Act Play, FFA CDEs, Spanish Club, and so forth. In One Act Play, as a sound technician, I contribute suggestions that could improve the aspects of the play from my point of view and share my views to the other technician members. As a technician team, we depend on each other and to be efficient in all tasks undertaken during the play. In reward, we placed as an alternate one act play and one of the technician members placed as an outstanding crew member. In FFA CDEs, we work together as a team as well. I demonstrate leadership by applying my knowledge and solving problems with my teammates. We diligently pursue for excellence in our competitions and work together to resolve questions. In reward, I was rewarded with my Green-Hand FFA Degree in grade 9. In Spanish Club, I demonstrate leadership by inspiring others and myself to do chariable related work in the community. For example, over the Christmas break we visited the White Hall Nursing Home and visited the elderly. We had great conversation and had a great time there. Good leadership descends from character which is based on truth and

Playing sports is a great way to develop leadership skills. I’ve played softball since I could walk. It has been my passion ever since I started. Being the captain of my team for 2 years has taught me how to be a great problem solver, to be confident in myself, and to be a very hard worker. Leaders should be the first person you think of to go to for advice on a problem you’re having. Being a leader I have to do the right thing all the time not only when it is convenient because everyone is watching me. No matter what the situation people turn to me to help guide the team as a whole, on and off the field. If I make an error everyone sees how I react and they use that as an example for how they should act and have good sportsmanship. I have

I have shown leadership many times while working in a group project or in an activity. I assign parts of the project to others and myself and share my ideas in the group. I try my very best to include everyone and try to incorporate their brilliant ideas in the project or activity as well. I make sure that everyone has a contribution

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

For as long as I can remember, I have always volunteered to lead in all of my classes. For example, I lead the yearbook Instagram account which requires a lot of effort and responsibility, but I am committed and never forget to post the photo of the week or spirit day photos. I also raise my hand anytime a teacher asks for a group leader for a project, activity, etc. All throughout elementary school, I took every opportunity I had to be a part of student council. In fifth grade, I got to be the historian. I have lots of experience leading the school with the responsibility of being the historian. Although that is nothing compared to the hard work ASB puts into our school every day, I do have experience being a leader in other ways such as former student council and at

The Student-Athlete Leadership Team is a program that was designed in order to develop the leadership skills of our student-athletes and will be facilitated by North Atlanta High School’s own Andre Regan. The student-athletes are nominated by their respective head coaches, most of which are team captains. The basics of the Citizen Leader Framework are leading self, leading with others, and changing your world are the core of the leadership model created by Andre Regan and so many other coaches nationwide. Discussion topics will include accountability, self-awareness, resiliency, communication, collaboration, and empathy with and for teammates and coaches, in hopes that the Student-Athlete can help their team on and off the playing field.

A strong example of my leadership experience is my senior season of football. Following the 2016-2017 academic year, our head coach resigned on short notice and lacked any coach to fill the position. Because he left on such short notice, we didn’t have a coach for the first two weeks of the preseason, a crucial developing point in the season. However, a small group of other seniors and I were able to schedule workouts until we got a new coach. This established our group as team leaders and allowed us to lead the team to success in the regular season. I was later named a team captain for my leadership on and off the field. This gave me the ability further lead by example as well as keep the team’s morale up in the face of adversity. I ran extra

In terms of leadership, I try to take it upon myself to step into a leadership role whenever I see that a situation is becoming disorganized or indolent. For instance, my English teacher last year assigned the class a group project where she took the liberty of creating our groups for us. As I began working with my group to plan out our project, I quickly noticed that not much was getting done due to uncertainty and a lack of communication while the due date grew closer and closer. Instead of just sitting back and doing nothing about the issue, I steered my group in the right direction by opening up discussions about the project where I made sure everyone had a chance to have their ideas heard. I effectively listened to each person, offering constructive feedback and deeply considering any feedback my own ideas received, and then delegated tasks to myself and to the others based on what was best for the group. If someone needed help with his or her part of the project, I gave them all the assistance I could, rather than just focusing on my own personal goals. Whenever I noticed conflict among members of the group, I courteously mediated the problem, as

This has kept me out of many of the elected leadership positions in our school. However, there are many other ways that I exemplify my role as a leader. One of these ways is by being a part of athletics. I have always felt like a leader in this environment, as I have always exceeded at sports. As an underclassman, I would be the one who helped out with cleaning up, and pushed my teammates to get better. Being apart of these smaller groups allows me to feel more comfortable when leading others. I also lead the team to getting better by helping to set up practices when the coaches were not allowed to coach in the off season. This made me a better leader in everyday life as I am now a more active leader. I lead in group projects, telling people what needs to be done and when. I make sure people are on track, and do not act out. Despite not being a leader to the many, I have still been able to make a big difference by being a leader in my everyday life as an athlete and a

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 demonstrated my leadership in both Student-to-Student and my track and cross-country teams. In eighth grade, I was one of the captains of my track team. I would help lead stretches, warm-ups, and sometimes the workout. I was not a captain my freshman year, but I exhibited leadership skills and influenced my teammates to do their best. Being a new student to RHS, I was not a captain in cross-country either, but, again, I proved my ability to be a leader through my actions and motivating those around me.

As a leader, I encase these values as demonstrated through my leadership positions as the Cor Jesu’s Junior Varsity softball team manager, Luke 18 member, volleyball leader, and member of the 2016 shadow program at Cor Jesu. In these positions of leadership, I was given the opportunity to showcase my hard work ethics, character, school spirit, dependability, and opinions. I especially believe that participating as the softball manager shows my courage to step up in a situation that I wasn’t very confident in. When I started as the softball manager I didn’t know the most about softball, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to showcase my leadership abilities. At the end of the softball season I reached my goal of assisting the team, showing the pride I have for my school, stepping out of my comfort zone, and meeting new people.

National Honor Society Essay I am greatly honored to be considered for the National Honor Society. The National Society Essay is an exceptional organization that allows students to help the needy and provide essential characteristics for life. Ever since my sister was admitted to the National Honor Society I have strived to make it one of my goals to be apart of this prestigious society as well. Throughout my high school career, I have demonstrated many examples of character, leadership, and service that I believe will qualify me for this coalition. I believe that I posses qualities of a good character because there have been many times where I have exhibited good character.

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
