I have held multiple positions within the United States Air Force Auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol, including the position of First Sergeant of the Valkyrie Cadet Squadron. My job was to provide a dedicated focal point for all readiness, to watch the health of cadets, boost the morale, ensure that operations flowed smoothly, and make sure the orders of the commander were carried out by the support staff. After nine months of being a First Sergeant, I was promoted to be the Executive Officer, which is the third in command of the 52-cadet squadron. Furthermore, the leadership skills I have attained in the Civil Air Patrol carries out to various parts of my life. Specifically, my job at Western Steel Inc., where I've been tasked to train employees
I attend a military school and i have been a part of many leadership roles at Fork union Military Academy. One of my unique experiences was when we were drilling my company to prepare for a parade. I am a day student which places us in our own platoon. In my day student platoon there were no cadets with rank at the time which means we had no particular leader. This was the perfect opportunity for me to take charge and become the temporary leader for the drill. I had no real experience with drilling besides the steps i have learned while being at FUMA for 2 years at that time. . I drilled the cadets in front of the 120 cadets in my company. I did particularly well besides one mistake on a facing movement. Taking this leadership role earned me
Throughout my military career I have had the distinguished opportunity to work with some of the Army's finest officers. My last platoon leader in particular, LT Adams, was a major influence in my decision to pursue a career as an officer. There was always something about the way he carried himself. He was the symbol of integrity and confidence and truly lived the Army Values. With the help of his impeccable leadership I was able to achieve feats not many have. I was able to attend and graduate the United States Army Sniper School, an honor not bestowed upon many. I truly contribute my successes at that school, and others like it, to the guidance given to me by LT Adams. In coming to this realization, I now am confident and motivated to give

I have learned the importance of leading a large group of differing opinions into a unified force. I have also developed a strong sense of responsibility for my actions towards others and in holding a powerful position. I have held numerous leadership titles such as “Miss Junior Seven Hills” as well as “Miss Teen Seven Hills”. Through these opportunities I represented the city of Seven Hills at city and county wide events and learned the importance of communication and how to be a positive representative. I am a part of a handful of other clubs at school including Key Club, National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Student Government, and Jazz Band. I am a completive dancer at Caliber Dance Company and have danced since I was 8 years old. Dance has taught me discipline and has proven to me that hard work pays off. Although I have experience in these various activities I think my most significant experience comes from my time as a member of NIMB. I have firsthand experience of feeling too intimidated to have fun and I want to ensure that no member of NIMB has the same feeling at any point throughout the season. I have seen many leaders of the band come and go and have learned that in order to be effective a Field Commander must be positive, personable, focused, and dedicated. I promise to personify these traits and use my experience in a beneficial
After I became a Civil Air Patrol cadet, I was enlightened to learn that problem solving skills were an integral part in succeeding in the program. One of the major aspects of the program is allowing cadets to serve in leadership positions corresponding to their rank and experience. My first leadership position was as flight sergeant. As the person directly accountable for the flight, I learned that the flight's ability to drill and march was a direct reflection of my teaching ability. I realized that since drill is meticulously graded, it must also be meticulously taught. Fixing even little mistakes I found was the key to success to the flight's drill. After teaching drill, I always felt richer, pouring myself into others so that they had the ability to teach cadets how to march and had the opportunity to triumph over their successes like I

Growing up I was always the kid who was picked on. No matter where it was I went people would always doubt me and what I was capable of doing. In high school I chose to make a change that would not only benefit me but, a change that would I benefit my community.

Through learning how to hold these officer positions, I have grown into a stronger, more complex version of myself.

The first week I went all out teaching and drilling the new cadets - and loving it. I made mistakes, and had to practice using a command voice but I was not averse to working hard. I made great improvements in the first month. Slowly, the girls started to clash, and rejecting the system set up at school. Every morning I had to wake up my squad at 0630, and I started receiving refusals to wake up, and get ready. I was surprised - they had been waking up every day previous. I thought they were only slacking, and just needed to be given a little space and motivation. Very quickly though, I was proven wrong. My attempts to wake them up, get them outside for formation, behave correctly at mess, and gather them together for sports practice became a trying task. Having every command answered with a resounding “no,” was exhausting after only a week of constant nagging. I did not enjoy hovering, but it was my job. I lost motivation to do my job, it didn’t feel like I was learning anything, but just set the tape to repeat day in day out. Fortunately, I realized my issue quickly, and my insistence on being a good leader won out. I sought advice from my counselors, upper cadre, and instructors. Talking about the rejection I was dealing with and coming up with methods to counteract it helped motivate me and turn around my squad. I did not have the experience or skill to convince my squad, my peers, to do something they had already set
