I consider being able to rebuild my confidence in high school after going through a difficult time in elementary school to be my greatest achievement.

I learned that this organization was a student- led group dedicated to improving school unity, which appealed to me as I wanted to make a positive impact in the school.
I decided to apply to be a part of the junior management team. I was accepted for the role of Daily Manager where I would oversee and manage the school store. In my newfound position, I learned the importance of teamwork as every position in the team had a vital role to play in the organization. I also took on extra initiatives that pushed me outside of my comfort zone which allowed me to go above and beyond the duties of my position.
I was recognized for my hard work and dedication by being promoted to the position of Director of Communications. In this role, I was in charge of ensuring that communication flowed effectively throughout the entire management team. Also, I was in charge of facilitating team meetings to ensure that everyone completed their action items. As a senior manager, I got to develop my communication skills as I had to work with a number of people with different personalities. Naturally being an introvert, it was initially not easy to manage a large group of people, but as things progressed, I became more confident in my abilities to be a leader. My involvement in this organization showed me my leadership potential and pushed me to become the successful leader that I am
