politics, government, and law. Students have to demonstrate abilities like leadership, compassion, respect, and pride. I am intrigued about learning in this program and believe that I could be a good model and representation of what a student learning in the Law and Public Service program should be. Being a leader is not always directing people in the right direction, leaders have to have enthusiasm and be helpful. During my experience in Eisenhower Middle School, I have participated in school…
unemployed populations. I myself have gravitated to the positions of leadership and entrepreneurship even at an early age. Growing up, I would go to grade school with a backpack full of sugary treats and sell them during test days so my customers would come to class with something to look forward to. The children would always buy from me even after the price inflated because they had nowhere else to purchase the candy from. My profit margins were high but at 9 years old I didn 't even…
Leadership is the process of influencing or motivating others to accomplish a task or goal (Kelly, Tazbir, 2014). I always find these type of self assessments difficult because it 's hard to justify a true assessment with primarily questions, without actions or history to justify the outcome. I will do my very best to be completely transparent as I feel it will give me the most realistic self-assessment. While completing parts one and two of leadership characteristics and skill assessment I have…
Leadership can be defined in many different ways based on your values or belief system and the leadership experiences you’ve received throughout your life. I define leadership as the ability to communicate with your peers, subordinates, and supervisors and guide them towards a common goal. Communication is essential in effectively leading.

The Naval Academy is often described as a "leadership laboratory," and I have found this statement to be true; my experiences at the Naval Academy have greatly impacted my development as a leader. After the past two and a half years, through various experiences, I have made many developments as a leader and I have a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses as a leader. My two main strengths as a leader include high emotional intelligence and self-discipline. In regards to emotional…
If I could choose between being at my desk and not being bothered versus walking around talking to my employees, I’d chose the solitude at my desk. But, because I know how important it is for good leaders to have relationships with their people, I force myself out of my chair to develop those relationships. I struggle committing to find a mentor for myself. The thought of me needing to look for someone with a bigger title than mine and always having to be the one to drive the conversation…
After my two full years at Roscommon High School, I am very grateful to have reached the standard for National Honor Society membership. This is an opportunity that not everyone has the privilege to be a part of during their high school career. I would like to display the ways in which I have demonstrated the required assets to be a part of this organization. Not only do I possess the qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, but through N.H.S., I am certain that I will grow…
undoubtedly affect your attitude and behavior with your students. I wanted to begin my studies in the teacher leadership program because I would be able to distinguish and identify the best teaching practices for all students. The teacher leadership program has taught me how…
about his experiences and suffering in a concentration camp during World War II. Throughout his book, most of the prisoners, including him, adapted because of the crisis they were in. These alterations of their character demonstrate examples positive leadership. After reading and reflecting on Frankl’s experiences, I realized that they also relate to past incidents of leadership and conflict in my life. The interactions that Viktor Frankl and I had in our personal lives in relation to leadership…
for a stable business is to be established. These points form the basis of interactions in business and as a result, enhance success. The aspects of self-control, alertness, initiative and intentness are critical in that they foster objectivity in leadership. Aspects of the condition, skills, and teamwork are also important because they enhance the establishment of a common goal in the organization. I also agree with Woodson’s points in the second block which address poise and confidence. It is…
