Recommended: Leadership experience

I have been in countless positions of leadership, but hardly any of them have been instances. For example I am currently Troop 134's Troop Quartermaster, Prior to that I was a Patrol leader for at least 3 consecutive terms. The thing is being on the Teen Advisory Board at the John Ed Keeter public library or the Co-Leader to the both the Newspaper and Yearbook at my school, none of them apply to a specific instance. So while it is not the most glamorous thing ever, for my eagle project I helped at my non-profit school with an event I called the Library Creation Corner Assignment, which has the same acronym as my school name. I split up the Boy scouts and the other volunteers into two groups, My self along with the majority of the boys began

  • The National Honor Society

    Throughout everyday tasks in the classroom, or outside of school, I step up and lead those who need to be led. I constantly find new opportunities to lead others and help the situation any way I can. Every summer the band has a marching band camp for a week straight that we must all attend. Being an experienced band member, I step up and assist all underclassmen and show then where to go and what they need to be doing. Instead of getting frustrated when giving the freshman directions, I am calm and collect and walk them step by step until they understand, something most leaders would not have time or patience for. With many plans to help others and lead within my community, I believe that I have what it takes to be a strong, and powerful leader for the National Honor Society.

    Being a leader is no simple task. During my Eagle Scout project, I lead a range of people, from adults to youth. It was my job to make sure everyone was working and, that everyone was capable of doing their task. I had many issues doing this throughout my project because I am only one person and I can’t be everywhere at once. Thusly made being a leader a drudgery. But I had an incredible set of adults guiding me along the way, who taught me that being a leader was not doing everything myself, being a leader

    Involvement in marching band, field hockey, and various other activities has given me many opportunities to show leadership. My first leadership opportunity was in eighth grade when I became a WEB leader. While I was a WEB leader, I helped incoming sixth graders get adjusted to middle school life and find their classes on the first day. I also met up with the sixth graders in my group once a month at lunch and got to know them while I asked how school was going and helped them with any issues they had. In marching band, this past season I was a marching captain for my section. I helped the freshmen learn to march, demonstrated proper marching techniques for others, and gave advice to anyone having trouble with part of our marching show. At the start of field hockey season I showed leadership by helping new players learn to play field hockey by demonstrating how

  • Curating Personal Statement

    1437 Words  | 3 Pages

    A good curator has the potential to shape a person’s approach to art and culture. In 2011, Andrew Bolton’s stunning presentation of fashion as art, in ‘Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty’ opened my eyes to the work of a designer that would become the backbone to the majority of my undergraduate study. Aged 18, I traveled to New York where I visited the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Four years later, when ‘Savage Beauty’ was showing once again - this time at the V&A, curated by Claire Wilcox - I wrote my dissertation on the complex relationship between art and fashion through a detailed analysis of the exhibition which gave me my biggest passion.

  • Personal Statement: Background, Interest, And Identity

    502 Words  | 2 Pages

    Background, identity, interest, and talent are fundamental in who I am as a person. If for some reason I wasn't allowed to include one of these topics, I would feel as if I was missing a major part of who I am. Most topics given are intelligent and challenging to write about, however I believe through the process students start to lack true personal touch and genuine passion. Yes all of the topics require talking about oneself, but students write what they think their readers want to hear. I hope to stay true to myself regardless of the topic. These days it might be cliche to say this, but it's the most simple way to describe my feeling. I am passionate about creativity and life experience in general. Right now you might raise your eyebrows and think to yourself that that's not

  • I am a Born Leader

    786 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being a leader in almost any given situation has been an innate quality that I have possessed for as long as I can remember. I have always found myself nominating myself for leadership positions. My most recent and fulfilling leadership position was in my eleventh and twelfth grade school years when I held the position of Drum Major for Purnell Swett High School’s Marching Rams. Being in this position meant that I had to give up the spotlight of performance, turn my back to the crowd, and lead my fellow band members on and off of the field of competition, high school football games, and community parades. Over the course of these two years, I have learned many defining qualities about myself and have learned how to incorporate these newly learned and innate qualities into my everyday life.
