“All it takes is one idea to solve an impossible problem” - Robert H. Schuller.
I read this as I was surfing the website of your esteemed organization and this is what I follow.
I choose to believe that some qualities are just inherent in an individual that one needs to recognise, nurture and use productively. For me, those qualities are the analytical and managerial abilities which I have inherited from my parents.
My analytical skills come from my dad, who is an engineer by profession. I have seen him analyze a problem, emphasizing on minute details and looking at the big picture before coming to a conclusion which has always led to successful delivery. On the other hand, I imbibed the managerial abilities from my mom. Being a home-maker,

I have participated in various extra-curricular activities like debating and anchoring, and cultural events like music and dance which have brought me numerous accolades. I was instrumental in the fest organized in my college and was also the coordinator of the Cultural Committee in my final year. All these events have helped me gain distinct experiences. For example, while I was the coordinator of the cultural committee, it helped me hone my leadership qualities. Taking up a responsibility and working on it to deliver the best gives me utmost …show more content…
College of Information studies provides me with the best and most suited curriculum by combining 3 different fields, Data Analytics, Strategic Management and Information Systems which would be a huge advantage to accelerate my growth in the field of analytics. Apart from academics, The University of Maryland, has a large cultural diversity which allows ample exposure to the outside world. This would help me experience and acknowledge diverse ideas of people from every corner of the
As a student of the DuBois Area High School, I think I have the motivation and academic accomplishments needed to receive the Big 33 Scholarship. My family is also in a tight budget so they can provide for my sister and me. My father currently works at DuBois Logistics as a laborer while my mother works at a Sheetz as a salesperson. I also work at a Sheetz in order to save money for college in the future and any other financial needs. As a student, I participate in many clubs and extracirricular activities to promote myself as a positive leader or influence to others.
Currently, I am participating in several activities that I believe will be conducive to my goals of becoming a valuable asset to any organization that will have me. In the past few years I have been surrounding myself with activities, academic and otherwise, that I believe to be at least in some way beneficial to my goals in future. My participation in National Honor Society, Student Government, Model Debate, History Bowl, and Tennis each reflect a different aspect of myself that I wish to forge into one cohesive individual. National Honor Society is representative of service and character, Student Government of leadership, Model Debate is for debate and compromise, History Bowl for scholarship, and finally Tennis for camaraderie and teamwork.
I am looking for more than just academics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During my four years at Northwood High School, I became involved in numerous academic and extracurricular activities. As a result, I have been recognized and honored for achievements both inside and outside of school. I realize that titles and academic achievements are limited, but some of the impact I have on my community and other people’s lives is what really matters. Therefore, I plan to continue my active involvement in extracurricular activities while I am a college student.
Throughout my four years of high school, I have kept myself occupied by participating in three student organizations that has developed me into a helpful and prestigious individual. My participation in the Alexander High School UIL Academic team taught me the lesson of hard work pays off. I took the opportunity to join my high school's UIL current events and social studies team which allowed me to compete against others based on my knowledge of the topic. By competing, UIL has educated me that in order to succeed, you must be willing to make sacrifices and dedicate your time towards studying in order to earn a medal or a ribbon. Thankfully, I got to place in many invitational events.
My ultimate endeavor since attending community college has been my involvement in school, specifically with Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. As an engineering major I am limited to a diminutive amount of free time, due to the quantity and difficulty of my classes. However, this limitation and the fact that my ride to school is a two hour trip on public transportation, has not stopped me from participating in extracurricular activities. Applying my time management and responsibility skills that I acquired from taking several math base classes at the same time, I managed to become a member of clubs and attain leadership roles. I first became the Vice President of Service, for Phi Theta Kappa and organized service events on campus and outside of campus.
The Community College Completion Corps event was particularly important to me because I was always told that I would end up married and without a degree. Serving as an officer in Phi Theta Kappa Beta Delta Omicron chapter has also helped me demonstrate my leadership ability.
I was involved in volleyball my sophomore year in high school, I learned the rules of volleyball as well as some team-building skills. Being involved in a sport I learned to support the other team members, as well as encourage one another. The summer of my sophomore year I participated in the Summer Transportation Institute, where I was able to learn more about engineering by visiting ASU, talking to college students who were majoring in engineering, doing some workshops, and engage in a competition of “roller coasters”. Throughout my four years in high school, I have also actively participated in M.E.Ch.A. Club. My freshman year, I was only a club member, but the following three years, I have been an officer for the club.
In high school I was a part of thirteen activities and clubs ranging from National Honor Society and other volunteering clubs to Cross Country and Track. Of these thirteen, I was an exec for five. Most of my time was devoted to my roles in Cross Country as Team Captain, Student Council as Student Body Treasurer, Science Club as Co-VP, D.A.R.E club as an officer, and being a freshman mentor. Senior year my environmental science team took second place at both Regionals and State
1. My philosophy of leadership is about collaboration and teamwork. Respecting and treating everyone the same, is key to supporting a good team atmosphere. I believe when a leader puts effort and care into assisting others, then their peers and followers will naturally want to support them. It is also important for a leader to recognize, that advocacy must never become so important that the critical elements of leadership are neglected (e.g. policy enforcement, command support, etc...).
I. Introduction: a. Attention Getter: The moment you find someone with the same mindset as you, your world changes, you realize that yes, the world is unpredictable, but through teamwork and support, any goal is possible. b. Introduce Topic: Educational Institutes provide scholars with multiple opportunities for success, schools give students degrees, but they often neglect the socio-economical perspective behind each child. One way schools can support the creative ideas of their students is by offering and supporting extracurricular activities. c. Credibility: Throughout my academic career, I was able to explore, learn, and grow by joining various clubs.
Why students should be involved in extracurricular activities Extracurricular activities can range from a variety of things such as sports, clubs, or hobbies that are participated in by a group of peers. Activities like these have many perks but also may contain cons depending on the person and how much effort they are willing to put in to what they do. Overall students that participate in extracurricular activities will have a better outlook in real world situations than students who don 't participate in anything. Extracurricular activities have many pros that can improve the development of students throughout their schooling years. They teach life skills such as time management.
1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time. I consider myself a leader, i believe this because i am the type of person that feels like if i am not the one to do it then it will not be done the right way. Whenever i would work in groups i would designate myself to be the one to do the harder assignment, because i only trusted that would take it serious, not anyone else. Also, whenever i do anything that involves a team, i like to take control, because i feel like i am the best one to work under pressure or i can choose the best solution for any situation.
From my point of view , Leadership has more to it than I can possibly imagine. I define leadership as the art of enabling a group of people get to a specific destination. As a leader your main focus was to enable your followers lead theselves. As i think deeper i realise a person cannot choose to be a leader. I think a lot of the time people take on leadership positions without knowing.
Generally speaking, a leader is a person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. There are many different styles of leadership and the majority of them are very effective, but despite these different approaches, all good leaders share a handful of characteristics. So, what are these qualities that make a good leader? We are going to take a closer look at some of these traits including, but not limited to, good communication, the ability to delegate and a strong level of commitment to see how these qualities can help to make someone a good leader.
Introduction Leadership is the art of empowering people around you to achieve a goal. As a leader I want to help others become leaders themselves. I firmly believe that by leading based on my values this will be accomplished. I have had many leadership influences throughout my career. Some of them showed me the way I wanted to someday lead and others showed me exactly how not to.
