For the Future
Not a thing about the results of this survey surprise me in the least bit. Not to be too harsh on myself but, I have never encouraged anyone and actually meant it. Something in my character really says that I am not a person that brings up the team as opposed to just myself. The three categories I believe I act the worst in are categories in which people are receiving direct action as opposed to them just analyzing what I do(Model the Way). As a leader and a person that has been in leadership positions in the past, I know for a fact that I do struggle in these areas and my connection to the people that follow me. I may be a fantastic model to follow leadership wise by getting things done when they need to be and being on top …show more content…
Becoming more open means expressing myself expressing who I am, sharing the person that I am at heart will help to deepen connections between myself and others and strengthen bonds that are needed when it comes to a leadership role. I also hope to strengthen my integrity especially now that I am in college. College has been such a life changing experience even within the first couple weeks. This new experience has made me believe that in some aspects I can start over and I can change and be closer to the person that I want to be. Shooting for the values that I hold is not always something I’ve done. Even though I have tried to not be a hypocrite, once in awhile it does happen, my hope is that it never happens. The leader I wish to be in the long run must be built up by immediate change to how strict I am with values I place on myself. Integrity isn’t something that is recognized right away so I need to start my record now. These goals are not goals focused on leadership, they are mainly on my character. The foundation of leadership and what causes someone to be seen as a leader is who they are however, how people see them. If I build up my own character and my being, I will in turn hopefully become a better leader in some aspect. There are also many people that do not see me in a fully positive way, and if I end up not wanting to achieve

    Competency Goal 3

    My vision is to bring people together to create positive change, but this cannot happen without being able to effectively manage others to implement change. In order to become a stronger leader, I plan on integrating my values and motivations with my personal abilities in my endeavours. By playing to my strengths, as well as recognizing my personal areas of improvement, I will be able to develop confidence as a leader. I aspire to become a role model for others who want to influence change, similar to how Craig Kielburger inspired me when I was younger. An example of this is my ability to speak publically and communicate my ideas clearly.…

    Reflective Essay For College

    “I have to go here, dad. I just have to,” I told my father during our first tour of Colorado Mesa University’s campus. “I already feel like a Maverick,” I admitted as I straightened out my new CMU ball cap from the campus bookstore. It was a strange feeling knowing that I would no longer be Lakeland High School’s most spirited student, but there was excitement in knowing that I would soon show my pride for Colorado Mesa. Images of my blue and white spirit wear quickly changed to be maroon and gold.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience At Radford University

    I admit, I’ve always been a bit of an introvert. In high school, if there was an opportunity to lead or stand out, I hurried in the opposite direction, I was too self-conscious to participate in any situation where I might fail or face abashment, and I particularly avoided events where I would have to interact with people. Therefore, if you were to tell me back then that I would describe myself as ambitious, intellectually curious, and socially responsible, I would look at you dumbfounded. However, since leaving high school, an extensive range of experiences has led me to transform from follower to leader. One of my greatest experiences was attending Radford University for my first Bachelors.…

    Evaluating Professional Dispositions In The Classroom

    Professional Disposition I believe that teaching involves many factors that work together to make effective teachers. This involves effective planning, differentiation of instruction, implementation of differentiated strategies and interventions, and professional developments. When evaluating professional dispositions, it is important to understand what that entails. Professional dispositions are one’s beliefs, value system, attitudes and actions in and out of the classroom.…

We were the smartest of them all, is what the counselor told us. All we had to do was pass the final test to figure out who were leaving to go to the new community.…

    Personal Leadership Philosophy Paper

    I am now aware that my idea is not always the best idea, and that there can be more than one solution to a problem. As a leader I am very punctual about time constraints and working to accomplish all of my responsibilities by setting priorities. I am very good at deciphering what order to do tasks in depending on importance, time constraints, feasibility, etc. When I lead I expect that others will respect me, but I understand that this is not always the case. I expect that my followers will trust in my decisions, and that they will work as hard as they can when they have a duty to accomplish.…

    Reflective Essay: Three Lessons Learned In High School

    Three years into my high school I hadn't gotten into the state of mind that most over achievers have. I had floated through high school thinking I was trying my very hardest to get good grades and become a consistently studious candidate of my school. However, no matter how hard I tried I failed I gave into all the distractions and used all my obstacles as excuses became frustrated and developed an attitude problem that I had created myself. Being a consistent 2.5 student wasn't satisfying or inspiring. Uniquely enough, I had decided to take challenging courses my junior year.…

    Reflective Essay: Challenge Conventional Thinking

    The words “Challenge conventional thinking” have been something I've tried to live by day to day. I actually made a game out of it, using everything my friends, parents, even siblings have said or told me to do and tried to find an alternative or what I thought was a better solution. I'd always take precautions to make sure they didn't think I'm deliberately undermining them, but I always felt doing this challenged my programmed way of thinking. I want to be the exception that I'm always hearing about, I want to be the one to fix the problem and teach others how to do so. Orthodox Thinking is a problem I want to combat.…

    Many people have a place that is extremely special in their eyes. It could be a spot where they killed their first deer, high school football field, or any place they hold dear to their hearts. When they look back on experiences and memories, there is that one special spot that sticks out. When we think of our significant place we are easily to describe the feelings we grasped from past memories, and exactly what the place looked like.

    Reflective Essay: Three Lessons I Learned

    Throughout life, we learn different lessons be it from a teacher such as your parents, guardians, spouse, etc. or just going out and living and collecting experiences. From these, we grow and become the person we are today. We learn to shape us into the person we are and motivate the things we do and believe. I believe heavily in three core things I’ve learned in my life through experience. These core principles are Trust is something earned, sometimes you must think outside the box, and don’t let the bad moments outshine the good.…
