Graduation Speech: Leah Garland

Decent Essays
Hello I'm Leah Garland and I am enrolled in leadership class at Saint Dominic High School. I'm a senior at Saint Dominic and I am also on the varsity cheer team. I enjoy going on mission trips and going to watch my younger brother play baseball. I know I can bring a positive spin to this class and help anyone who is in need of it. I am also organized, which is a very good quality to possess. As a person, I try to be outgoing, even in awkward situations. I always try to go above and beyond the goals I set for myself. My weaknesses though are procrastination and time management. Although I am organized, I always seem to put thing I know about off until the last moment, such as this candidate statement. Time management has always been a problem

    The aspect of leadership that I need to focus most on improving is that of having the ability to balance work, school, and time with my family. I find that a great deal of the time I spend at home is spent working on schoolwork. This unbalance takes away from time that I should be spending with my husband and children and often leaves me feeling overwhelmed. Many people have the tendency to procrastinate on projects, and find them having to rush to do these tasks at the last minute. A big part of my problem is feeling that I need to complete assignments as soon as they are given.…
