I would describe my work at the Aquarium as both hard and educational work. I would say hard work for a very simple reason, it is hard work. Not everybody is willing to wake up close to 5 am to go and do manual labor on a hot, sunny, summer day. I would also say it is educational because I have learned a lot this summer through my work. I have learned about invasive species in general as well as local invasive species. I have also learned about the wide array of professions, involving invasive species and other nature related jobs, that people have. These are just two of the many things I have learned.
I know that it is a program, through the aquarium, that deals with the environment and its issues. What drove me to apply was a multitude of things. First and foremost, I loved doing LBA and want to get more involved with work in the aquarium that is related to it.

The first being knowledge. I feel as if an ocean leader needs to understand the ocean and its issues to fully be able to act in a powerful and meaningful way. The second attribute is motivation. An ocean leader will only truly be most effective if they are motivated to do their best and are motivated to make and meaningful impact on the …show more content…
The main three being leadership, a willingness to work, and a willingness to learn. I feel as if a am I good leader for a few reasons. I feel as if, first and foremost, I can motivate others. But I also feel as if I have good vision and ideas, which are also important attributes of a good leader. I think a willingness to both work and learn do not need too much explaining. I have shown many times through LBA, that I am willing to wake up early and get dirty doing hard work that not many other are not willing to do. I also love to learn, so learning about a part of the world I know very little about would be
A leader must always lead by example, be self-accountable for his/her professional and personal behavior. Have moral and mental strength to do what is right, with confidence and resolution, even in the face of temptation or adversity. A leader must be committed to its SAILORS, so that its SAILORS will be committed to him/her. In today’s Navy, we must be leaders in
What is a key attribute of a strong leader? Would he be strong, bold, courageous, fearless? Magellan, a portuguese captain during the fifteen hundreds crossed the world through the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Ferdinand Magellan did not deserve defense. He would treat his crewmen unfairly, put himself first, and was distracted from his goal. (Document A, B, C, D, E)
The ability to work well with others. The ability to handle conflicts with diplomacy and tact. The ability to listen and evaluate objectively.
A leader must demonstrate many traits in order to be measured as someone who can truly be an effective difference maker. Many dissimilar authors have differing opinions on who is, or how to become a leader. Jack Welch, former General Electric CEO, believed that in every leader should personify his qualities that he called the 4E’s of leadership. He even created a management training institute in order to give all his managers the proper training in his techniques. “Crotonville, served as a forum for the sharing of the experiences, the aspirations, and, often the frustrations of the tens of thousands of GE leaders who passed through its campus” (Welch). The 4E’s of leadership are energy, energizers, edge, and execute. Someone with energy would wake up every morning with the desire and passion to motivate them through the day. An individual also need to have the capability to energize others in order to over achieve and out perform their peers. You need to have the edge, or d...
I got together with Sierra and Adrianna to cook our lobsters. It was a sane process because as we began cooking, we had the chance to know each other better and become friends. First, I boiled my lobsters the night that I received them.The smell of the lobster was so bad, I could have sworn I smelled it for two whole weeks. Then, the coming Monday I began the process of making lobster tail picatta. As I started shucking, I soon discovered that it was a very hard task to accomplish. I had to use a hammer I had around the house to be able to open the tail of the lobster. After I finally was able to receive the meat from the lobster tail, I set it aside. The second part was creating the salad. Afterwards, I washed the lettuce in the sink, then
I believe I am a strong leader and I use my leadership abilities to improve the school as often as I possibly can. One of my strongest leadership skills is communication. I believe that it is vital to talk to others and get others input before making decisions. In the school, I ask other students their opinions on different events and I bring them back to the council frequently. Another leadership ability I possess is creativity. I always attempt to come up with creative and unique ideas to contribute to the council. For example, in meetings I always attempt to share new and different ideas to benefit the council. An important skill for leaders to possess is organization. I show this trait by using a binder to organize my agendas and showing up to every meeting.
Are you a good leader? A good leader must be articulate so he can understand everyone he leads. A good leader must also be strong minded so he can convince people to do what is right for the group. Last but not least you must be intelligent to one, know what is right for the group and two to back up your other two traits. The best leaders are articulate, strong minded, and intelligent.
...ms within. I grew up on the lake, so water will and has always been a part of my life. I go to the beach almost every year, so I am frequently involved with the ocean life as well. My dad is a fisherman; he has been to many places and shown me many unique animals he has caught. I feel that it would be the most interesting job to have because there is a huge ocean to explore. Another awesome part of the job would be the idea of always learning new things about the fish. It would never turn into that job that has the same old routine because discoveries are still being made. The only down side to being a marine biologist is constantly smelling like a fish and dealing with the rather large fish that could endanger my life. But every job is going to have a down side, if these two are the only downsides to having this job, then I would have no problem conquering my fear.
I like this science because I want to be a marine biologist when I am older just like Sylvia Earle. I want to have this job because I like underwater animals, I like the underwater world, also I would want to help the ocean. The ocean is an amazing place when I was younger I alway wanted to be a mermaid when I went to the pool. I actually wish I would do most of the stuff she did like get the deepest diving record. Also, when I when to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Vancouver aquarium I was so amazed by the The otters to the touch pools I could be there all day

Traits of a good leader are trustworthiness, respectfulness, honesty, and be stern. When you have leaders that take their role seriously, you can form a backbone to an organization that cannot be broken. You have born leaders and you have trained leaders. Martin Luther King was a natural born leader for the Civil Rights movement. King saw there was something that needed to be changed and he took the steps to change the world.
Throughout my life I have encountered the chance to experience position of being a leader. Being part of groups in university for class presentations, being the organizing secretary of my campus fellowship, being a youth leader in my church and the church admin, also being part of a family. Leaders are charismatic, inspirational and trust worthy. I have gained some important qualities of being a good leader through these experiences. Most of the valuable leadership’s characteristics that I obtained and strengthened are: learn to become a better leader every day, how to be a team player, to be a better listener, to be an effective communicator, to have more patience, not afraid of constructive criticism, to be outspoken, and to be a problem solver. Even though I have gained a lot, I still have more things to learn to become a better leader such as being more assertive, being more disciplined, becoming a better public speaker, and learn how to be realistic and not too optimistic. You are a leader if someone else choses to follow you.
What makes a great leader? This age-old question has piqued the interest of intellectuals across all spectrums since the dawn of time. We need to look no further than the life experiences of Ernest Shackleton to provide us with some insight on this question. One area that he excelled in was emotional IQ. Throughout his exploration career, he demonstrated his ability to be self-aware, self-regulate, socially aware of those around him, and socially manage very difficult situations. In addition to having an extremely high emotional IQ, Ernest did an amazing job of having and providing a clear vision to his team. Because of his uncanny ability to do this, he was able to attract the right people for the job. Lastly, Shackleton demonstrated
What is aquatic biology? Aquatic biology is very similar to marine biology in that you study ecology, behavior of plants and animals, and microbes; however, instead of the main focus being saltwater, aquatic biologists study things like rivers, wetlands, ponds, and other freshwater resources (princetonreview.com). Being an aquatic biologist comes with many crazy experiences, some in college, others with diving, and some with preserving the environment.
I went to the national Aquarium a couple of weeks ago and I had totally forgotten how beautiful the animals and the exhibits are there. I loved every exhibit starting with the sharks and ending with the amazon rain forest exhibit. All the animals and creatures in the aquarium really bring out a different side in me because due to the high technology world we live in, we don’t pay much attention to the nature and its beauty, well at least I don’t pay much attention. When I went the first part that I went to was to see the sharks. It was a magnificent place that really had people paying attention to their every step not to fall into the tank.
