Great Shakeout Drill
Out of all the times that I used my leadership to help a group of people, there is one that stands out as clear as day to me. It would be the Great Shakeout Drill which millions of people practice how to drop, cover, and hold on during drills. By participating with the Community Emergency Response Team club in this drill, it is a great way to be prepared to survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes wherever one is at.

    NJROTC Reflective Report

    During high school, I committed most of my free time to my NJROTC unit and my 4-H club. In both of these organizations, community service, leadership, citizenship, and initiative are indispensable values that are essential to their functioning, and I like to think I have learned to embody these traits. In 4-H, I have attended, and then went on to teach, numerous leadership and group trainings.

    Community Service

    It is difficult to narrow down the many instances where I have showed great leadership but many can be found in my involvements in teamwork. I have been looked to as a leader and have taken responsibility for various group projects. I have discovered much about fairness, compromise, and responsible qualities that are required to be a "good" leader. Often, I have had to sacrifice my own free time and personal desires for the benefit of the group. I believe this is the most important part of being a leader, the ability to sacrifice individual time and desires for the overall gain of the people that you are leading.…

    Becoming 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…

With the atmosphere created in our drill team, I can feel that with hard work we can accomplish anything. It’s not only marching, it creates a new way of thinking and you develop new organizational skills. Drill Team allows you to work as one in a team with other members and see the results of what coming together can do. Trust is instilled, for you know that without one or two members, your team cannot work as well.…
