I want to be a Link Crew Leader because I would love to be able to mentor freshman as my previous Link Crew Leaders did to me. I also feel that becoming a Link Crew Leader would not only allow me to help shape freshman to become better people but to help me become a better person myself. I have been both a volunteer at a summer program for first and second graders and an assistant coach for the special needs program at Alta Loma Little League. At the summer program I was tasked with teaching 3 classes of first graders to type and code. This leadership position not only taught me how to actively communicate with people who learn in different ways, but also taught me to become a stronger leader.…
I have a strong desire to become an officer in the United States Navy. To achieve this goal I wish to be accepted into Officer Candidate School where I will later graduate with a commission as an Ensign. I believe myself to be of both strong mind and body, and I accredit this to my commitment to my school, my work, and my training. I graduated top ten percent of my class in High School and Magna Cum Laude in college and I continually try to increase the diversity of my knowledge so to become a better rounded person. I majored in Criminology and Criminal Justice and minored in Psychology, so through convention teaching methods I have gained a firm grip in the Social Sciences; however, its through my work experience that I have really grown.…

When I was appointed as a Varsity Co-Captain for the high school swim team in my freshman year, I was still new to the high school scoring system, which differed from the club meets that I grew up participating in. I devoted my time as a captain leading activities I was accustomed to- running warm-ups at meets, facilitating practice dives, and assisting in equipment setup. During this period, I couldn’t help but notice that some swimmers, especially new members, were not getting as much attention in activities and workouts. In high school swim meets, I learned, points are earned based on the order that swimmers finish.…

Everything through being part of the first XV rugby tunnel to shouting war cries at school carnivals. Goal Setting Steve Waugh a role model of mine once said “I’m is a big believer in having realistic leadership expectations.
