    Steel Magnolias: A Leadership Analysis

    Leadership is a lifestyle, not a role one adopts. Leadership requires strength and power, but also the ability to empathize and recognize others' needs. As a high school student, I have had many opportunities to be a leader, whether it be through clubs, group projects, or extracurricular activities. During my Junior year, I assistant directed the play Steel Magnolias under the eye of my drama teacher as well as a college student director. This role allowed me to learn the ropes of directing as well as take care of the six girls cast in the show. I adapted the role of the "stage mom," making sure every hair was curled to perfection and every prop was in its place, as well as ensuring their lines were memorized and their staging was proper. I…

    This is I think my leadership skills improved through my capstone project and other various volunteer opportunities. For my capstone project I adopted a classroom of a head start preschool program in Chaska where I filled backpacks with school supplies that each child needs for the fall school year. My leadership skills played a significant role when having to contact outside business to ask for donations to receive the schools supplies. In addition, I delivered the backpacks to the classroom where I had the responsibility of leading the…

    Gates Millennium Scholarship Response Essay

    I teach them how to use proper diction, proper posture and eye contact. I teach them how to be respectful. I teach them how to apply these skills to other areas of their lives. In the Summer of 2011, I was privileged to work with the children at Vacation Bible School. This included children from my church and members of the community who did not attend the church. I took reluctant kids from apprehensive parents and transformed them into excited, energetic, eager singers. I transferred my love of music to this group of 86 kids, who became motivated and inspired by my energy, innovation and gymnastic skills. Through the use of interactive signs and audience participation, I evoked in them a spirit of leadership while teaching good moral values. Each child wanted a chance to lead out in front with me. Parents were awed at the transformation in their kids after one week. My goal is to unlock the potential in…

    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…

    Bullying As True Drama Analysis

    In “Bullying as True Drama,” writers Danah Boyd and Alice Marwick describe how adults need to listen more to the dialect of young people during discussions of bullying. Upon hearing the story of a 14-year old boy committing suicide after being mercilessly bullied, they felt compelled to write the article for the New York Times in 2011. Their desire was to communicate toward concerned adults the differences between their thoughts and the teenagers. By sharing their research, they wanted adults to see the need to listen more carefully to what was being said by teenagers.…

    Personal Narrative: My Robotic Team

    I believe that when I became the captain of my robotics team, I have gained countless important life skills. For example, I believe that I have gained a great understanding of resilience, dedication, responsibility, and teamwork. More specifically, to have resilience means to be able to quickly recover from difficulties and failures, to have dedication it means to be committed to a task or purpose, to have responsibility means to be accountable for your actions, and to have teamwork means to combine the efforts of a group of people. Furthermore, being a leader has also assisted me in my socializing and networking skills. When I was younger, I was a shy person. However, because I have to present various presentations and meet many new people as the team leader, I have broken out of my shell and I know greatly enjoy acquainting myself with new people. Frankly, I have had many challenges and failures that I have had to overcome throughout my years, but with these life skills, I believe that I have been able to accomplish many of the goals I reach…

    AEM Major Personal Statement

    I am a great leader and throughout my high school career I have taken every opportunity I could to display this. For three out of my four years I have participated as a Muskoka Woods Leader. This required me to spend a week at a summer camp at which I would lead a group of grade 7s through a series of fun activities. Being a leader at this camp wasn't always fun and games though. I had encountered many situations with the grade 7s in which I would have to improvise and apply my knowledge of leadership to sort out. For example, during one of our games we would play, there was a little boy who was sitting off on the side not participating. I went over to talk to the boy to find out what was wrong. When I found out that he didn't understand how to play the game I knew exactly how to fix it. I brought him over to a corner and me and him played our own little one on one version of the game. I taught him how to play and I played with him until he was finally ready to join the other grade 7s. As well as being a Muskoka Leader, in my grade 11 year, I was a Link Leader for my high school. This was different from being a Muskoka Leader because this time I was working with grade 9 students who were entering high school. Throughout the year I worked with the grade 9s giving them secret tips and tricks about how they could survive their freshman year of high…

    Stereotypes In Marching Band

    Fortunate enough for me, marching band taught me how to be an effective leader. After a few years in marching band, I was chosen to be the section leader of the trumpets. A position of this magnitude requires a great deal of leadership abilities, abilities at which I was not yet very proficient. In the marching band at my high school, we had an assistant band instructor who is in the Army National Guard and an assistant technician who is a former Marine. With these two around, our band operated in a very strict manner. At first this seemed to be a bad thing because the level of intensity that was expected of us as members was extremely high. Now, looking back at my experiences, I am able to appreciate what these two gentlemen provided me. In my first year as section leader, the former marine held a three-day mini leadership camp. This camp was the groundwork for my leadership journey. I learned valuable leadership skills that I still use…

    SASF Reflective Essay

    Attending SASF’s after school program has helped me to improve my leadership skills,my citizenship, my service and my character. While attending SASF’s after school program three were many times when I had to take writing class. Attending writing class reflects good leadership skills because during writing class there were many times that the teacher divided the class into groups. We would be put with people we weren't familiar with to write a story together. During this time the teacher had always chosen a leader for each of the groups. I remember constantly being chosen as the leader of a group. When I was the leader of the group I would constantly check up on the others to make sure that they were doing the work correctly and when they had a problem I would try my best to help them. I believe that being constantly exposed to such situations as the leader has given me a lot of experience which has greatly increased my leadership skills.…

    Conflict Is the Heart of Drama

    In the play, ‘The Crucible,’ written by Arthur Millar, conflict is the cornerstone around which the text is moulded. Although most of the conflicts are external, there are also examples of severe internal conflict, as can be seen in Millar’s protagonist character, John Proctor. Mary Warren, Proctor’s servant-girl, is also a victim of internal conflict within the play. Proctor, in addition, is involved in external conflict too, between him and Judge Danforth, him and Elizabeth Proctor, and him and the Court of Salem. Each of these conflicts are crucial to the plot, and when represented, complicate the action of the text towards its final resolution.…
