High School Senior Project

Improved Essays
Throughout my years of high school I have learned many invaluable leadership skills that I feel is important to impart on the future high school students. Therefore my senior project will have a focus on teaching elementary kids skills that they can develop throughout the next several years and become involved in middle and high school activities. I have worked with children for many years through different activities like organizing Art and Crafts events, mentoring in local elementary schools as well as teaching my Sunday school class several times. This project will allow me to further develop my work with children and I hope to leave the students I work with priceless skills that they will not soon part with.

For the next couple of months

    My Semester Project will consist of two musical pieces, one representing the journey that individuals with tuberculosis from Peru go through, and the other the journey that individuals with tuberculosis from the United States go through. The former will end in death, and the latter in a recovery. The different stages will be the initial stage pre-diagnosis, followed by being diagnosed with TB, then holding out hope that the TB will be cured, leading ultimately to the demise/recovery.

    I would hope that in my six years prior to being promoted to an assistant principal, I would have laid the foundation for positive relationships with the students, or at least some pocket of students. Additionally, I would think about the mindset of not necessarily the students, but the current faculty and staff and begin to measure the outlook that is currently in place. From here I would want to make changes that lead the community to a more positive mindset and outlook. Green (2013) states, “Effective leaders emphasized the development of interpersonal relationships while focusing on the personal needs of followers and the development of the kinds of relationships that would motivate followers to set and achieve high performance goals”.…
