Leadership is a big part of my life. Being responsible for a large group of people and participating in situations where leadership played a big role shaped me to be the person who I am today. It is a very crucial characteristic that all societies need to function properly, achieve goals, and maintain order and peace. People don't work for a leader; they work with them and together have many great accomplishments. The value of leadership is high, especially in learning environments that help shape people into who they are and prepare them for the rest of their lives and I am glad I can say that I played a role in that. My major experience with leadership was being my school's Class of 2016 Student Council President. Student government, unifying students, managing responsibility, and taking initiative have always been passions and interests of mine. From my few years of presidency, I can confidently say that I know, through experience, what qualities an educational society requires of a leader. As the head of council, I took everyone's ideas and helped link them together in order to accomplish multiple goals. A few of these ideas were how to raise money for the various organizations we sponsored, such as the Humane Society. We came together and one of our ideas was collecting cans and bottles that were going to be thrown away anyway and recycling them for money, which would buy food, blankets, towels, and more for the animals' health and care. We also worked hard to benefit our student population by pitching ideas for school activities that brought students together around the school while also making education a fun and positive experience for everyone involved. All of these, and more, achievements were made possible through hard work, dedication, and the unification of the student population.
