Qualities Of An Academic Advisor

Decent Essays
My academic advisor is Mr. Harrison. Mr. Harrison is my guidance counselor and he helps me navigate through many things during my college experience, for example when I get very anxious about being so young and in high school and college he always has words of inspiration. He let all of us (the students) know that he chose us for a reason and that we can do anything that we try hard enough for. Having a good relationship with him will be great so that he can get to know me personally and put me into the classes that I need to take to get where I need to be long term, and his motivation.

    I met a man my freshman year that the upperclassman swore would change my life. I had a hard time believing that I would grow as close to Mr. Kauffman, who was my student council advisor and physics teacher, as much as so many people already had. I quickly discovered that my gut instinct was far from true. Throughout high school, Mr. Kauffman recognized my potential, and encouraged the development of my confidence and leadership. Our bond grew as I began to feel the pressure of academics, athletics, student council, and work.…

Without key qualities of leadership, an individual cannot fully provide their customers or its employees with the experiences they deserve. Without proper skills and reinforcement, leaders cannot foster a positive workforce or support their employees. Without certain key factors a leader or manager becomes just another employee, and not the leader they are required to be. Having leaders with the skills such as honesty, accountability, the ability to inspire and to delegate, and basic communication skills are all necessary parts to becoming proven and respectable leaders within a business.…

The two I have worked under were inspiring leaders who worked diligently to lead the teachers on the missions they declared for the school.
