The JP Morgan Chase Summer Institutes are a series of two week long programs that focus on college readiness, technical and academic careers. Throughout the summer, they have multiple institutes that take place in our local community colleges. This past summer, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend one of their institutes. Although, no one was officially assigned a leadership role, I took the initiative during many activities to become the leader of my group. These groups ranged from small to large groups. The small groups consisted of five to ten students while the large group consisted of all of the students enrolled in the program which was over fifty. My role consisted of being the leader during many problem solving activities. Also, when it came time to volunteer for certain activities, I would always be the first one to set the example and others would follow.
One of the main reasons I was inspired to participate was because of the benefits it provided for the students. This particular institute focused on engineering. Not only do I have a passion for reading and writing but I am fortunate enough to also be good at math and science. What I learned from the program was career exploration when

Over the years this program has expanded to cater to everyone in the Houston and surrounding areas. They also put an emphasis on technical careers which consist of welding, drilling operators and even electricians. For many students the idea of going to a four year university is far fetch because of both grades and funds to pay for school. This program opens the doors for these students while preparing them for the professional world. They also show students how to properly dress and conduct an interview. These are very valuable skills these students are learning that will in return positively impact their
Throughout the years of being a student at Council Rock, I have come to the realization of what a true leader is. A leader is not someone that just plans events, collects money, or shows up to meetings. Rather, this is someone that has a true connection with their peers, and has unmatched passion for what they do. With this, I can confidently say that since seventh grade, as a young adult, I have been shaped into an individual that fits these traits. Since that time, I have been involved in student government,
Subsequently what is done is that selected high schools develop a curriculum that is organized around a specific career cluster, which are like a specialized charter school. The goal is to feature a series advanced “pathway” courses that can help students to enrich their knowledge through work-based learning and academics. In turn, this specialized education will allow student to demonstrate their understanding through assessments and industry credentialing opportunities. As well these schools are enrolled in a learning exchange that have partnerships that are organized to support the programs of study by coordinating statewide networks of education partners, businesses, industry associations, labor, and other organizations (2013, p. 21-23). Consequently, the program is driven to help high school students develop a career path and to receive exploratory education that will given them an advantage in either college endeavors or in the job market.
I hope to be able to get closer to my goals by becoming a part of this. With SkillsUSA, my college application would stand out to my selected college, so I can have a greater chance of getting accepted and building up my medical career. Also, with the leadership program, I hope to become someone who people look up to for her self-confidence and her positivity, just like I look up to other people. I want to be able to learn how to lead people to be a better person so that they can teach others as well. I want to become someone who isn’t afraid to show that they are smart, and I hope I get this out of
This club is known for recognizing students who demonstrated excellence in all areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Once a member of the club, you continue to expand your excellence by doing countless amounts of volunteering and showing your leadership skills. One volunteer project I enjoyed doing was becoming a peer helper. I hated seeing many of my classmates struggle with math and science. They knew if they didn’t pass the class they couldn’t graduated. So instead of letting them fail I took time out of my day and tutored many students in subjects like algebra, geometry, and chemistry. When I was helping my peers I did my best to find their inner confidence towards wanting to be successful. I believed this is what made me a true leader, because I didn’t allow my peers to become failures.
It can train me to be properly prepared with a college mindset instead of having that mindset that is still in high school. I can gain a bachelors, possibly a masters, degree as I go to college. Having a bachelors or masters degree gives me not just a sense of accomplishment by making my family proud, but also a feeling of accomplishment of how far I overcame to reach that degree. But all of this would not happen if it were not the help of this program that will soon become the backbone on living a better
A large part of the reason I would like to join Year Up is because of the opportunity to receive an education and start my career in computer programming, without financial barriers stopping me before I can get started. The chance to receive an education in programming, a field that has interested me for as long as I knew it existed, is too great for me to let it pass. I have been interested in computers since I was introduced to them at a young age, and the idea of making functional programs has always been fascinating to me. More importantly, Year Up gives me a chance to receive experience in a professional environment and kick start my career. Without this program, getting a job in this field with no prior experience is near impossible, however Year Up provides me with the six-month internship

I aspired to play a significant leadership role in all of the activities someday, and over the course of my high school career, I thankfully have. This year as a senior, the student body elected me as the president of Student Council; members of National Honor Society (NHS) did the same; future business leaders elected me as the vice president of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA); and I received the votes to secure the office of secretary in the local Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter. Coaches and teammates have named me as an important asset as well. Over the years, these opportunities have presented me with many chances to enjoy extracurricular involvement, meet new people, and mature into a
...er research I have learned that great people from within my organization have attended the same program and speaks highly of the program. My supervisor graduated from the same program, and she credits the program for her style of her management and for the strength of her clinical skills. I have recently learned that good friend of mine is currently in the program and has told me that the content you receive from the program is very applicable to the work that we are doing now. Personally the time frame has also greatly influenced my decision as well.

The reason I feel that I want to become a student at Hollins University in the “Horizon” program is the fact that I would be a part of something bigger. Something more significant that I
Besides academics, fine arts and sports in school, I have attained leading roles in different groups. This year, I am the Spirit Leader of Student Council encouraging monthly goals and themes and assisting in school events. From creating a student council with a group of peers three years ago we have had success in many events and have found new ways to spread spirit, gather important information and assist with financial groups. Recently, I stepped up to be the leader of the fundraising committee for our ...
I was in a program called Servant and Leadership Training; nicknamed as SALT or Slave and Labour Training. The nickname halfway sums up the program. Everyday we woke while the campers were sleeping, served when they woke, cleaned when they left, and learned when they were gone. We learned things such as how the Bible and Science are like Hamlet and revenge, and that to become a leader you must first set yourself apart for the masses. This idea is expressed by the brilliant businessman Ray Kroc. Ray Kroc once said, “The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves”. This quote moved me to stay on task every day and to strive to do my best. My mindset encouraged my team to push past the unrelenting sandman that reminded us of our exhaustion, to overlook our aching muscles, and to see every smiling face as a success. I soon become the one that our counselors looked to for leadership. I was able to control our team in a way that they couldn’t. My ability to lead led me to run a store while I was there. I assigned my team members jobs, took care of issues, and open and closed for my boss. All of this taught me the importance of being a fair and stern leader; as well as contributing to my personal development.
