Personal Narrative: Becoming The President Of My High School Dance Club

Improved Essays
In distinction to becoming the President of my High schools dance club, I now acknowledge myself as a leader. I would define myself as a leader from the time I had to organize my teams first dance show. I had to develop eight dances for my teams showcase and set up days for my team to practice. On the days we had practice, I focused on the dancers movements being nicely synchronized. I also set up days for practice that focused on athletically training the dancers so that they would have the endurance needed to perform eight dances in a single showcase. I made sure to always keep contact with my team for important events and for them to have several ways to contact me for assistance. I would always take my teams ideas into consideration and

    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.…

A leader does not mean you have to go and do something outrageous; the little things mean more than the big once in a while. Last…
