Coast

As I have been exposed to all different kinds of leadership style in the Coast Guard and out in corporate America, my definition of leadership has evolved. When I first started out in a leadership position, I was a firm believer that certain people are born leaders and others aren’t. While I still believe partly in this, I also believe that good and bad leadership styles can be taught. One thing I think cannot be taught is changing people’s personalities. For example, if someone has a habit…

The coast of beauty can be broken into two factors, and they are being beautiful or being healthy. As we all should know most beauty products can have dangerous chemicals, and they can damage your skin. The people buying these products need to be more careful about what they are putting on your skin. From my point of view I think being healthy is more important than damaging your skin just to impress some guy. There are some products that we use in our daily lives that are industrial chemicals…

My Years At Gulf Coast The following photo is of my eighth grade class climbing the majestic trees at our school. During our three years attending Gulf Coast Middle School we have always been forbidden from climbing any of the trees on campus. For our 8th grade graduation pictures we were actually permitted to climb the trees, it felt like a right of passage. The staff took pictures of us all lounging around in our dress clothes. Although it was a fun experience, I was looking forward to…

Virginia’s coast is seen as the highlight of the state. The only gem that should be protected at all cost. So we pour millions of dollars to beautify the beach and bring in more people. We do this because in the end more people means more money. This mentality has made us blind to the fact that we have other wetlands in far greater danger than the beach. Marshes and swamps are just as valuable in what they offer the community. Factoring in the knowledge makes wetlands worth saving, not for the…

1. The Coast Guard has Core values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to duty; certainly these values are needed in a superior leader. A leader needs to gain the respect of those that are expected to follow; as a result of gaining respect, they will want to follow rather than have to follow. This makes for an extremely effective team effective that is willing to perform at their highest capacity. A leader can be defined as an individual that gains the trust, confidence, and respect of other…

Since I was young, I have always been fascinated with the world, and the diversity that it holds. I became very fascinated with traveling and studying abroad when I was in Middle School. My grandparents are avid travelers and have gone to almost every continent and stayed for months at a time. In middle school, was the first time that I vividly remember hearing about one of my Grandparents trips, when they went to Peru. My grandmother took thousands of pictures, and while she was there she…
