Involvement In FBLA

Also, I have been granted spots in Alpha Chi Honor Society and Psi Chi Honor Society. This past year, I served as secretary at Alpha Chi. This position helped me learn how to work well with other members of a leadership team, and helped me create a successful food drive for those in need in Anderson. Being a part of a leadership team was an awarding experience, and I am excited to be a part of it again this coming fall.

The best leadership accomplishment that demonstrates my potential to make significant contributions to the campus community and broader society is cheerleading. Cheerleading has made a huge impact on my life and has created many opportunities for me. It has paved the way for my high school career. Cheerleading provided me with opportunities to lead, volunteer, perform and show the athletic ability of our squad.

I made several amazing friendships, took a few incredibly difficult classes and met some of the best educators during my time at Ada High School. My Sophomore year was certainly the least stressful of the three years. My classes were easy, I had a lot of friends and it was the year I joined the Distributive Education Club of America (DECA). My fashion merchandising teacher Mrs. Wright convinced me to do a 30 page written business plan for a fictional tanning salon that offered a revolutionary new color matching technology. I placed fourth in the state that year. Not placing in the top three only gave me more dedication to placing first the next year. I competed again my Junior year of high school, this time developing a business that combined daycare for children with proper diets and kitchen safely. Once again I placed fourth in the state. Not giving up after missing the second time of not placing in the top three was very difficult for me. I had made the decision to devote my high school career to this activity that didn 't seem to be taking me anywhere and I regretted not being active in Student Council or picking up a sport instead. Thankfully my advisor convinced me to give DECA one last try and that is when I developed my love of business, particularly in finance. My senior year I decided to do a role-play instead of a written event like I had done the previous two years. Role-plays can be more

My education has taken me across the country and allowed me to develop leadership skills in several different ventures along the way. I was very heavily involved in leadership and extracurricular activities in high school, with roles as the Editor-in-Chief of the yearbook and President of the Athletic Council, among others. I was voted valedictorian – I believe primarily (and I know it sounds like a Disney movie) because I was able to save prom by taking over leadership at short notice, motivate others and make the event happen. I subsequently completed my Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry at Bishop’s University in Quebec, where my leadership activities continued with founding a lacrosse team, starting an honor society and leading Frontier College, a literacy group. Medical school then took me across the country to Calgary, where I took a hiatus from leadership activities and focused on my studies. I returned to Ontario for residency training in Otolaryngology and began developing my leadership skills once again. During residency, I was our housestaff liaison with administration, and subsequently chief resident – both were roles that served as my initial exposure to hospital politics. In my final year of training, I co-founded a national cancer awareness campaign called Manuary (www.manuary.ca) to raise awareness and f...

These events have lead me to become more confident when speaking. With this ability, I have become better able to pursue my dreams. For example, after the first year I participated in the leadership development competition, I decided to run for a position as an FFA officer. I now hold the vice president position for the Rockwall FFA chapter. While I participated in these events last year, our chapter won district sweepstakes and I have been further motivated to continue my involvement in FFA.

Since sixth grade, I have been an active member in my school's FBLA chapter. More recently, in high school, I embraced a hands-on leadership role. Apart from yearly competitions in subjects ranging from marketing, to finance, to economics—I have helped organize and establish a number of business-oriented initiatives within my school, including: an internal internship training program, financial literacy and career workshops, and corporate structure and interview simulations.

I maintained an A average up until my eleventh grade year, by doing so, I was recognized as a member of the National Honors Society. This current year, I was recognized by Augusta University in receiving an award for academic achievement. The year of 2013 I was awarded the Most Valuable Cheerleader on the Washington Wilkes Football-Competitive cheerleading squad. As for leadership positions, I was elected 4-H president in the fifth grade and student council president my eleventh grade year.

During my sophomore year I was asked to be part of the first ever Improv Troupe in Little Falls and am now the current Vice President.. We attended a week long camp that trained us to present messages using theater, to the community.
