Becoming Drill Team Captain
Drill Team Captain

Becoming Drill Team Captain was such a great experience. I feel as if becoming captain helped me with my leadership skills. Whenever my coach isn't at school, or she's busy, I have to be the one to make sure my team is on task with whatever we are doing. I lead warm ups, go over routines, etc. What made being captain so special to me was that I was able to help out my teammates. I helped them not only physically , as in perfecting the routines, but I also helped them emotionally and mentally. There's so many girls that come to me, needing someone to talk to. I love to help girls become more confident. Throughout the years I've been on drill team, and having different experiences each year, I've

    JROTC Drill Team Leader

    One word to describe myself would be leadership. As the commander of my high school’s JROTC Drill Team, and the President of the National Technical Honor Society I have had many occasions where I had to step out of my comfort zone and take control of situations. Before joining JROTC I did not know what being a great leader was, but after becoming a squad leader I realized I needed to step out of my comfort zone and be the great leader that my squad deserves. Now three years later I am now the Drill Team commander, which I absolutely love being. I love being a guide for others, to be a supporter for them as they go through difficulty. Being a leader has taught me to be humble, to put others before myself. When being a leader you have to realize…

    NJROTC Character Analysis

    Personal Narrative: Lebanon High School Marching Band

    I am a leader. I have all the qualities that make a great leader, but I was not born this way.Experiences and how someone reacts to those experiences are what truly make a leader. One of the most influential experiences I have gone through is called the Lebanon High School Marching Band. I am certain that I wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for marching band. Before coming to high school I already had leadership qualities, but band helped bring all those great qualities together and helped me get past my two major flaws: my lack of self-confidence and the fact that I was probably one of the shyest people you would EVER meet. When I joined marching band, I spent most of my waking hours sweating and suffering alongside wonderful people that I longed to…

    Odyssey Of The Mind Program Analysis

    For as long as I can remember, I have had a natural inclination to lead. Throughout middle school, high school, and even college, I was always the first pick to lead whenever a group was involved. I enjoy doing group work and getting other people's input on projects, so my enthusiasm and drive toward accomplishment makes me a natural choice for the group lead. I do well at keeping people on task, assisting them when required, and making certain that we complete all necessary objectives.…

    HOSA Personal Statement

    In 8th grade I became heavily involved in my schools STEM program who specialized in Medical Skills and partook in HOSA state competitions. All my life I had shown an intense liking for helping others therefore medicine seemed as my calling and once joining STEM my interests in the medical field grew deeper and deeper as well as my passion for leadership. So when the chance to compete in the HOSA competition came about I jumped at the chance to win an award for my school. I teamed up with 3 other girls and together we were to educate the public on careers within the medical system. We did careers from pediatrician to an aquatic vetenarian, my job was to keep creativity as well as knowledge flowing, I exhibited strong character, drive, detemanation, as well as patience during our project, these were extremely important in keeping the team focused as well as appreciated since we all contributed amazingly to the project and so it won second place! This experience taught me social skills as well as time management, it helped me become a more rounded person and strengthen my character. I was able to keep my team happy and restrained from being overbearing or bossy, which are not qualities a leader should possess. Another instance where a held a position of leadership was this year where I became the president of Alonso’s Anchor Club, where young ladies partake in various community service projects to better the world around them, the most recent event our girls took part in was the 5k Walk Against Breast Cancer with Dr. Lee right here in Tampa, Florida. With the massive help from our girls the team raised $6,000 all going towards the National Breast Cancer Foundation.…

    Mrs Hack Leadership Style

    Never in a million years did I think someone could open me up to the potential I had to be a leader. My mindset was, “Why would I want to be a leader when I could quietly watch from the sidelines?” After I did not make the dance team in seventh grade I felt incapable of making the team in eighth grade. Mrs. Hack, the new coach that year, proved me wrong. She has helped me to grow as a person, recognize my ability to be a leader, and supplied me with a second family. Honestly, I can not thank her enough.…

My school also has a Technology Students Association (TSA) chapter and in my junior year of high school I was the vice president. In my senior year I am running for president. I am also a member of our National Honors Society chapter and will help lead and guide new member into a new year of service.

A servant leader is well accepted and very efficient as those they lead respect and often like to be around…

    How Soccer Helped Me

    After I took a more active part in society in high school, I noticed that had become more of a leader than I was before. Rather than just going with the way other people were, and trying to blend in, I did my own thing and tried to add my own piece to the groups in school. Soccer gave me this new confidence. In soccer, even if you aren't the captain, you still must have some kind of leadership ability. It is best for the team if you do your best to help lead teammates on and off the field in every situation possible. I believe that I took this idea and brought it into everyday life rather than just…

    It’s not all that hard to be a leader. Anyone can do it. Leadership is something anyone can acquire, if they have the passion. Personally, I’m not the first person to raise my hand when the teacher asks for a leader. But when I am chosen as a leader, I try my best to lead my “team” to “win”. I strive to always make my team number one. As a leader I always try to earn the respect of my teammates and always try to respect them back. Not only being a leader in school, but also being a leader in today’s society is a benefit to me because I know that I am helping to have a better future for not only me, but for everyone else.…

    Pursuing My Military Career

    True, many of my leadership positions are just merely put you impute in on what is best of the program; on the other hand my leadership opportunities through sea cadets has been character building. The most Humbling part of my sea cadet career was when I was placed as the bravo yeoman for a recruit boot camp. As the training not only test our leadership, but also the mental fortitude of the cadets. One of the recruits was suicidal and over halfway though the training. I was honestly scared that I wouldn’t be able to handle it, that I would fail and he would go home and commit suicide. I couldn’t let that happen, so I did what any other leader would do, tell my superiors and try to calm him down. And it worked he finished the training with his head held high. No other leadership weather I’m the vice president of FFA or the president of theater club, no other organization can give experience like that and the funny thin is in an environment like that I thrived even if I was scared I adapted, over came and…
