1. Why are you applying for this position? When I first started going to Key Club meetings, the first thing that appealed to me was the leaders. The officers were nice, experienced, enthusiastic, and cared for everyone. This, to me, set them apart from all the other clubs. When I became a board member, the officers instantly welcomed me into their Key family. They worked alongside me, taught me, and guided me. After every activity, I felt satisfied that I had left an impact on the bigger picture and that my skills as a leader had grown. I am applying for club president to give others the same experience and opportunity I have been given: to impact and empower the people around me and have a fun time while doing it. I want to have a welcoming …show more content…
This way, Key Clubbers can plan for meetings (so that they don’t miss them) and stay informed. In addition, I also want to make sure that people have the chance to work together, build camaraderie, and voice their own …show more content…
4. What are your goals for next year’s Key Club? I want to have at least one service event each month, at least one social event each month, at least one officer at every division council meeting, five more people than last year’s Key Club, and 1500 total service hours. I also want the club to grow closer together and become a family. Key Club is a smaller club, which gives the president an opportunity to not only build relationships with every individual member, but to also bring the club closer together as a whole through team building. My goal, as a leader, is to get to know everyone in the club so that I can help to create a family environment. 5. What other extra-curricular activities are you involved with? How will you effectively manage your time between Key Club and your other activities if you are selected as an executive officer? I am involved with Boy Scouts, taekwondo, and high school swimming. High school swimming starts at the end of February. Boy Scouts and taekwondo are year-round. During months of overlap, I will balance my time, delegate duties to the other officers, and devote time to Key Club. I will put Key Club first and make the sacrifices necessary to do my
Ambassadors give tours to prospective high school freshman and give them a feel for what high school is all about. We would share experience and give advice to prospective students regarding classes, teachers, activities, and sports. I loved interacting with both students and parents and showing them how amazing my high school was, and I want to be able to do the same for Questrom. I am a very outgoing, independent, and a social individual, which are all important qualities Dean’s Hosts must possess when speaking to prospective students and their parents, as well as alumni and distinguished speakers. I enjoy speaking to and getting to know different people and I believe being sociable and friendly is one of the most important traits a Dean’s Host must
Leaders should exert a positive influence on the member’s school. A real leader strives to train and aid others to attain the same objective. No matter what power exists, you are ineffectual without the guidance of a leader. The NJHS is completely made up of leaders that will make their school a better place.
The theme the officer team came up with for this year was Be the Degree! “At 211° degrees, water is hot; at 212°, water boils.” One degree makes all the difference, just like one person can make all the difference. We advocated the importance of going the “extra degree” and making a difference in their life, as well as the lives of people around them. There are many types of leaders; for example, there are leaders who like to express themselves by speaking or leaders who silently guide others towards the right path. Our goal was to motivate our student body to try their best at school and get involved in extra-curricular activities and clubs. In my opinion, we
I agree with the authors’ idea of “Building a wonderful workshop”. This chapter speaks on making our mission our main idea while remembering our core values to help us stay focused on our teammates and purpose. Our mission, values, and team are the foundation, cornerstone, and core of what we do, how well we do it, why we do it, and how we see each other in our given roles. If we as a team earnestly keep this statement and all it incorporates as our focus, then I believe the other eight “secrets” cannot be far off.
... would know what I stand for and I would encourage them to speak about their opinions. Group innovativeness and developments are the keys to triumph. I am dependably excited and have positive energy to motivate others. I am very mindful to my followers' needs and concerns.
Why do I want to be an area officer? While these words are not exactly the same as previous essay prompts I have been given, they all share the same idea; “Why do I want to be a leader”? Looking back at my old responses they are all focused on similar concepts; I wanted to be a leader because of the friendships, traveling and meeting new people, building better leadership skills, learning how to better communicate with people, and acquiring life skills, such as patience, teamwork, organization, and dedication. While all of these things have some importance, they should never be the reason someone wants to be a leader. When I wrote these I thinking about how to better myself, rather than how to help others. I was thinking selfishly. At the time I didn’t know what it truly meant to be a leader, to be willing to sacrifice myself for others. Even while I am still young and have much to learn, I finally understand why I want to be a leader and what a true leader should look like. I would like the opportunity to serve as a 2014-2015 Area Officer, so that I can better serve the FFA, my fellow members, and ultimately my world.
This journal entry will discuss and provide examples of core values of a group leader and core knowledge of a group leader. In addition, the references that were used for this assignment include information from Chapter 3 in the textbook and the transcript and video tools provided for completing this assignment. Furthermore, the examples I provided may not necessarily fit exactly, however, to some degree they do and do not. However, I tried to find some examples that represent who I am and I believe that when reflecting upon these examples they do show a great reflection of many things that do fit.
Inspire a Shared Vision- leaders believe that they can make a difference in getting others excited and drafting them into their dream and the future possibilities.
As a student, I am an active participant in my academic and extracurricular activities. My first priority has always been to make good grades and learn in school. Although this is important to me, I also know that by participating in clubs, sports, and after school activities, I will become a well-rounded student. During the past years of my high school career I have participated and received awards in the following: Cheerleading (eight years), twice as captain, '97 -'98 Varsity Letter in Cheerleading, '98 AIM scholar, Who's Who Among American Cheerleaders, and '98 Academic Excellence Award while participating in Virginia High School League Interscholastic Activities. I also belonged to the following clubs: S.A.D.D. club (two years), second year as secretary, Pep Club, Varsity Club, Choir Club, and Computer Club. In the year '99 -'00 I received awards in the following classes: Computer Applications, Spanish I, World Geography, and Advanced Algebra/Trigonometry. I also received an award for Most Encouraging Student. I currently belong to the Hiking and Outdoor Club, Ski Club, Pep Club, and Environmental Awareness Club. In addition, this year I participate in a program called Read With A Friend. In this program I, along with a group of other students, go to the near by elementary school to read to a class of students from kindergarten to fifth grade.
Perhaps the most important qualities of a leader are passion and motivation. Especially when leading a group for a particular cause, a leader must be personally attached to that cause. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., for example, is a legendary leader because he fought for a cause that directly affected him. had he not been pushing for a personal reason, his actions would not have been as passionate. This would have caused a lack in motivation, another essential leadership quality. A leader faces many roadblocks and opposition and thus, must be motivated to continue fighting and leading. A leader’s attitude and opinions are valued by the group and therefore, if a leader is motivated, the group will be, too. The continued actions and successes, no matter how small, which move the group closer to its goal also help its motivation and drive.
In college, I will also be exposed to new clubs and activities. I feel that club and after school activities can make a person more involved and give a person the right qualities to become a leader. Involvement in extra events has provided a balance for rigorous course study. With the pressures that college brings, I will probably want to be involved in many groups.
2- Desire to lead: They good at motivating and influencing others. They hold responsibility and accountability on what the group does.
Typically there are “four basic types of student clubs: academic, special interest, special project or issue, sports”(North). Students who participate in academic clubs gain knowledge outside of the classroom that applies later on in the class. Students become involved based upon a common interest and hope to be with other students who share the same interests are in the special interest focus club. A third type of a student club is very similar to the special interest focus. “These clubs (special project or issue focus) provide students with expanded leadership experiences and involvement in the community. The final type of club is a sports club”(North).
