194 Words1 Page

Being a Grade 8 Retreat leader was an amazing opportunity that I will continue to look back on with fondness throughout my life.

Creating team posters and name tags were some of the more routine tasks that had to be completed before the retreat. However, the more rewarding aspect of the retreat was being able to bond with the children. Simply making conversation with the kids was extremely engaging.

During the first semester of my sophomore year, I was selected to become a mentor for the freshman class of 2026. After previously participating in drum major workshops to support my interest in becoming a stronger leader, I was able to apply the lessons I learned to a real environment. Having the privilege of being a mentor for my section allowed me to gain more confidence by helping others. I found myself enjoying the long, scorching practices because I was happy to be aiding the growth of others- those that needed the confidence I needed during my first year of marching band.

But actually, my junior year I was chosen as a team captain and as a team captain I had to lead practice, starting with warm ups and stretches to leading them on the field and yelling my lungs out. Sometimes practice was rough to the point the girls wanted to give up but I always motivated them to do better and try their hardest because at the end of the day you were only cheating yourself or benefiting yourself. When my coach had to leave early for work, instead of finishing practice early, I continued to lead practice even if it meant taking the huge bag of balls home with me and

    In the three textbooks that I read, this past week, I have taken a few main points from them and applied them to my life. In the first book “Emotionally Intelligent Leadership”, I learned that every setting and situation affects leaders and how they lead their followers. I linked this concept to my life because I act different around my coworker’s verses how I would act around my teammates and opponents when I play sports. The people in each of those groups also affect how I would act as a leader in certain situations. I tend to be more serious when I am working with my coworkers, but when I play sports I tend to be surrounded by my friends which would lead me to act the complete opposite.
