Securities Commission Scholarship
It is a well-known fact that human beings are judged by their deeds. Of no doubt the most demonstrative deeds of individuals are their experience and achievements in life. It is very often said that the amount of every person’s achievements indicates the level of his integrity. However from my point of view, a person should be judged not only by his past achievements but also by his future aspiration. In the present paper I would like to describe my personal achievements, the ones I already gained in my life as well as those that I aspire to achieve in future.
At the age of 6, I have shown extraordinary problem solving skills and analytical skills. Mental arithmetic taught me how to calculate fast and it developed my interest in Mathematics. I have won so many mental arimethic competitions in International and National levels. At young age, I always have strong curiosity towards the surrounding environment. I asked my mum questions that she couldn’t answer like ‘why is the sky blue?’, ‘Does lion put sauce when eating meat?’ ‘Why my clothes getting smaller?’ My strong analytical skill has helped me to excel in my exams especially in Mathematics, Science, Comprehension and Accounting. I consistently got into the top 10 students during the exam in the primary school. Even though essay writing is never my strongest subject, I studied hard during the exam to make sure I can get good grades. In my Primary School Evaluation Test(UPSR), I scored 7 A’s. I was the primary school Mathematical Olympiad team and have won third prize in Perak. I have participated in the Invitation Round of the Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools in Singapore for 2006 and 2007. For both years, I successfully obtained a Gold Award.
Throughout my primary and secondary school years, I have been exposed towards leadership skills and qualities. As young as 7 years old, I have started to develop and polish my leadership abilities in me which turn out it keeps developing

While here at JMU, I am currently serving as a mentor at the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County Boys and Girls Club to disadvantaged to youth.

    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…

    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…

    The final and possibly most important key to me becoming a leader with a gallant personality is me developing my communication skills. The development of my communication skills is arguably the most important thing that I have done in high school. It all began in a communications class that I took during my sophomore year. Our first assignment was to give an informational speech on a topic of your choice. Despite the fact that I was apprehensive about giving my speech I did amazing and scored a ninety-nine percent. I believe that this speech is what began my fascination with communications, interaction with other people, and the business world. My junior was my first year in my marketing class. In marketing we take part in DECA competitions which is a business competition program. This is one of my favorite aspects of school simply because of the face to face interaction…

Are you born with leadership ability or is it something you acquire and obtain during your life experiences? These questions have been posed many times before and have generated many different answers to them. Over time, various models have emerged to explain the leadership “phenomenon” during that period. The basic theories can be grouped into three distinct areas; trait, behavioral, and situational or contingency.…

    Prior to partaking in leadership 1, there were some traits I possessed and believed they were fit for a good leader but I soon came to understand that being a good leader is not all about the qualities I possessed or about doing things to please myself, but rather bringing out the best in others. “Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson. I have realized that I possess some weaknesses but the best thing is to attack these limitations and turn them into strength. I was not always…
