    I have participated in NYC’s Ladders for Leaders program for the past two years and I have not once regret participating. In those shorts 2 months each year, I had gained an extraordinary amount of experience that I can take into the workplace.

I would like to join Ladders for Leaders once again to gain even more experience in order to be more prepared for the workplace.…

    I would love to join and participate in the program NYC Ladders for Leaders because, I hope that as a teenager, I will gain the basic skills to act in society with a sense of responsibility, leadership, teamwork, and to have an optimistic outlook on life itself. And when on the note with that, I hope to receive more first-hand experiences with real-life situations and ordeals such as budgeting, T-accounts and such.

I think that amongst all possible challenges in a policing organization, that I’ve chosen a challenge that surpasses the typical organizational hierarchy.…
