Middle School Leadership Essay

Decent Essays
Growing up, leadership has always played a huge role in my life. It has helped me grow as a person and allowed me to learn new skills. In middle school, I enjoyed working with my peers to organize events and help others. For example, as a member of my school’s choir, I took the opportunity to help organize concerts, design brochures and make posters to inform the school community about upcoming concerts and events. In addition, I took part in the fundraiser to help raise money for our music department at Carson. I sent out emails to sponsors and publicized the fundraiser all around the school in order to get people to donate. We collected about 3000 dollars in total for our music department. As well as being part of my school’s choir, I

It was up to me to teach her the tricks of the trade for everything-- from tying her shoes to studying for her first math test.

    Another time that I have taken a leadership role is when our sideline cheer team had a booth at the Water Festival. I took the morning shift and when I got there I had all of the materials but only me and my coach had shown up and she still had to head back to the school to get the things we were selling. So while she went and got the stuff I stayed at the booth and lead it by myself until my teammates came and helped. I decided to be a leader in this situation because I knew that it was what I had to do to help my coach out so that she could get her stuff done. I believe that by leading the booth for a few hours I helped my coach accomplish what she had to do for the day and helped my team by sitting at the booth fundraising to help pay for some of our debts.…

    During my freshman year, I participated in teaching in the cheer clinic. I was assigned certain younger kids and taught them cheers and chants for football games.

This is one example of how I showed leadership at school.…
