This continued into school, in my religious life, the workplace, and my mission. I can explain more about things that helped me in a later essay. I have been looking around for opportunities to be directly involved in helping others, and I believe I found it in being a sports camps counselor. Not only is that, but the opportunity to help others learn and develop in their adolescent years something that I enjoy.

I had the opportunity to show responsibility in helping the history teacher with teaching certain sections of lessons. I will then be responsible for working with the youth under my jurisdiction, even when not supervised. I the opportunity to be a drama and debate team captain for my high school. The ultimate goal was to work as a team and have fun while doing that. I see this being important in helping youth to work together and have fun while doing it. I also was held responsible that everyone was present in their hotel rooms as we traveled around the state, and if anyone was struggling a bit, I made sure I could be there to listen at the least. If anybody is having problems during the camp, I will be sure to help in the situation. In church capacities, I have had the privilege of being a quorum president of a group of 5-15 young men at my age which was about 12-14 at the time.

    Personal Narrative: The Four Pillars Of The National Honor Society

    The National Honor Society is based on four pillars, which are, Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character.

However, there are several other ways in which I plan to lead my school, serve my community, and build my character, during my final years of high school. As I have mentioned, there are some ways that I have already shown leadership, service, and built my character during my first two years at Parkway South.…

    Phi Theta Kappa Honor Student Analysis

    I got elected as Vice President of Leadership, and since then I have been continuously looking for new ways to better our chapter. Communicating directly with our members and answering all their wonders is very important for me, as well as maintaining a good partnership with them.

Additionally, I do acknowledge that learning leadership skills (like public speaking, time management, delegation, etc...) is imperative in order to become a good leader. For this reason, I enrolled in a leadership development course at my college called the “Student Leadership Institute” and for which I received credit.…

    During my time at the Governor’s Office of Community Initiatives, I experienced a different setting in which I was given a great amount of independence and responsibility. I helped manage Day to Serve, an annual initiative, that our office coordinates on behalf of the Governor of Maryland. I worked with two other interns and we were given almost complete autonomy in overseeing this huge program. I connected with many community leaders and nonprofit, business executives to network Day to Serve with organizations across Maryland such as non-profits, faith institutions, corporations, and the Maryland public school system. We planned and hosted events in relation to Day to Serve such as press conferences, webinars, and service events.…

    Leadership Conference Reflection

    I was fortunate enough to attend the 2016 H. W. Sumners Leadership Conference where I would have the opportunity to meet a unique pool of influential individuals. Most of my leadership experiences had come from group projects with students who I were familiar with, and the conference gave me the chance to become a team with strangers from across the United States and Mexico. I was not aware of how much I was actually going to get out of the conference. Through the elective workshops, I learned much more about my leadership style and who I could become as a leader. Through the speakers, I learned about the power of creating a vision and pursuing with unyielding faith.…
