My 8th-Grade Status Report
I believe I am a strong leader not only due to my 8th-grade status but also for the following reasons. To begin, from my first year of eligibility up until my last, I was a member of the Girl Guides of Canada. As a group, we participated in service projects that changed communities for the better. I also take pride in having been the troupe leader for 2 years consecutively. Secondly, I strive to be dependable when teachers or other students require me to donate my time and resources. By doing so, I desire to show others that I am a trustworthy student who is devoted to going the extra mile in order to help others. Lastly, I have been awarded many nicknames by my friends. However, the name I take pride in is the "mom friend". I take pride 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…

    Personal Narrative: The Newnan High School Marching Band

    I was a part of the Newnan High School Marching Band my tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade year. It was a great experience. The Newnan High School Band became like a second family, and the band room was my home away from home. As it got closer to my senior year, I started wondering who was going to get the title of clarinet section leader my last year of marching band. I felt like I would be the one for the job. When they finally informed us that leadership applications were available, I was excited to get my application. I wrote an essay and prepared for my interview. I knew I had the qualities they were expecting in a section leader. I was kind to others, hardworking, friendly, helpful, understanding, and approachable. I anxiously anticipated…

    What Makes Me Honorable

    Although I may not hold any official leadership positions, I believe that I possess the necessary characteristics needed in any good leader and enjoy utilizing them. The main place that I see myself as a leader is on the soccer field. On the JV soccer team for the last two years, I played nearly every available minute at center back, or middle defense, rarely coming off the field. As a player who can see nearly the entire field, a center back has many other jobs other than one on one defending. One of the center back's principle responsibilities is to make sure that all of the other nine outfield players are in the correct position.…

    National Honor Society Paper

    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. Therefore with my induction into the national honor society I plan to demonstrate great leadership while also trying harder to be diligent and set an example for others.…

    Leadership.

    Overall when it comes to being a leader you don’t have to have a title to be a leader, as we all have probably been involved with people in leadership positions that are everything but a leader. I think that leaders are molded by their experience, environment and exposure to good and bad leaders and from leadership traits from above. I feel that if you don’t have any of the traits of being a leader you will struggle to be one, but I believe everyone has the traits of being a leader, you just have to dig inside and find that leader inside you.…

    Peers as Leaders

    Basically, I think the most important skill that one needs to be a good Peer Leader is the ability to influence others, but there are other characteristics one needs to have to be an effective Peer Leader. In order to be influential, you need to have the ability to communicate well with others. Without the ability to talk to others, how is it possible to influence and direct others in the right direction? I'm a person that has the ability to engage with others easily, so communicating about what's wrong and right with others wouldn't be a problem to me. The function of a peer leader starts with influencing others in making the right decisions when it comes to peer pressure. A good peer leader also needs to have responsibility. In my freshmen year, I thought high school was a joke to me, and I didn't wake up till around beginning of sophomore year. I knew that this was a big mistake and I was prepared to take the punishment for my poor decision. I woke up and started to bring my grades up. I've been able to maintain good grades, even while being a team member of the basketball team. Overall, I think that I am qualified to be a member of PAL, because I know that I can influence and lead these kids towards the right path. I try my best to accomplish my objectives and know how to balance my priorities.…

    My entire life I have been trained and taught how to become a better leader through scouting, religious activities, and my roles on sports teams. Scouting has had an enormous impact on my leadership skills being an Eagle Scout. As an Eagle Scout my leadership traits have been pushed and tested throughout my 12 years in scouting.
