Personal Learning Style: Jeannette High School Cheer Captain

In order to accurately describe myself, I need to relate my personal learning style—described best with the letters ENFP, also known as the campaigner—with a significant personal experience in my life. The personal experience that I endured should create an meaningful explanation for my personality type. For six (6) years of my life, I was a very passionate cheerleader. I completed four (4) years during my high school career and two (2) years during my time spent in middle school. During my senior year of high school, I was chosen as the Jeannette High School Cheerleading Captain.

Due to the violation of the rules, the entire cheer squad was required to complete “suicides” in the gym, which is a form of exercise. After our punishment was complete, I forced the cheerleaders to power their phones off and keep them inside of a bag, out of reach. If I had an introverted personality, I believe that it would not have been as simple to punish the members of the high school cheerleading squad. I would have been to shy to speak up. A lesson that can be taken from this specific example is as follows: in order to be a successful leader or role model, an extraverted personality type will make the experience(s) easier. This specific personality will help a leader communicate better with a group of people, which will lead to an overall better connection. Therefore, I believe the letter E is most fitting to my personal learning
