For those who don’t know me, My name is Vedada Lazarevic and I have been attending to Eight Mile Plains State School for almost 6 wonderful years now which is since prep and I would be very honoured and privileged to represent my school as a leader.
I would give anything to be school captain or vice captain in the following year 2012, I feel I can be a positive leader and excellent role model for younger students as well as my peers. I am a confident, well mannered, approachable student, and a good representative of our school for these reasons. I am already familiar with leadership roles, having been on student council from the beginning of this year, and I also do childcare and sports bins and out of school grounds I am included in a basketball club which I most likely enjoy doing.
I believe the role of school captain is more than just a badge and a title. It means being a good leader and representative of the school, respecting your friends and peers,being trustworthy, and having pride in our school community.
I’d meet the challenge of being a school captain but I would approach it with enthusiasm and determination, an open mind and everyone’s best interest at heart.
If I am elected school captain I will make sure everyone feels comfortable and included and is doing the right thing, that preps and new students always feel welcome, and i'm willing to be open to listen to peoples idea's and opionions, and that the school grounds are always clean and tidy. Even if all these things mean giving up my lunch times and recesses, I am willing to dedicate my extra time that I have into being school captain and to the responsibilities that come with this honourable title.
Now, I have to admit that I don’t know everything, and I also know I’m not the smartest, sportiest or the tallest candidate for the job but I will promise you this, if you vote for me elected, I will put everything I can in to the role of school captain, because being a leader at Eight Mile Plains State Primary School would not only be a huge honour but it would be my biggest pleasure.
I will do whatever is needed to help our school and the people inside it, I am overflowing with ideas and ways to make our school a better place. This role demands time, effort, organisation and confidence as well as dedication. I cannot think of anything I could be more dedicated and passionate about than this school, and being school captain is one way to give back to Eight Mile Plains State School after all the things that it has given to me over the past six amazing years.
So, I truly believe that I would make a wonderful school captain as I have the ability to face the challenges there may be along the way, but in the end, I hope to make a difference and I know it will be a rewarding role.
Thank you for listening to my speech, and I hope that you vote for me.

Throughout my high school years, I maintained various leadership roles. The first of which was serving as a section leader in the marching band for three years. As a section leader, I was the example of how the section should act, present, and conduct them. I was also the captain of the golf and tennis teams, first leading by examples through my actions and then through my playing skills. At my home church, I am the Youth Director providing an example of how to live as a young Christian despite the temptation of peer pressure. While here at JMU, I am currently serving as a mentor at the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County Boys and Girls Club to disadvantaged to youth. Just furthering my education beyond high school is the primary and first example of leadership. The kids at the club can look to me and see that I was once just like them but I’ve pushed through and maybe they can…

One reason I feel that I would make a great choice for a captain, is that I would be dedicated to the squad, and would not give up when faced with any obstacle. To me, extra practices, time spent making bows, signs, decorations, cheers, organizing stunts, and many of the other things a captain is chosen to do, is not work, but an amazing privilege. These tasks would not bother or frustrate me, because as long as it would help the girls on my squad, I would be more than happy to do anything to help them or our coaches. I would take all challenges, whether they concern individuals, the squad, a cheer, or a stunt, in an effective way that would help the squad grow. My focus is not on me wanting to be one of the captains for the varsity cheer squad, but to help all of the cheer department and the student body to be more enthused with school spirit.…

The term captain is synonymous with the term leader. By definition, a leader is someone who is in an advanced position to take the initiative in order to go forth and show the way. A dance captain should be able to make intelligent and creative decisions quickly and efficiently. Dance teams are all about unity. An exceptional group glides across the floor with all of its dancers moving as one. There are no individual standouts. No weak links. But there is one person whose job is to make the team as strong as possible, on the floor and off. It’s one thing to be a good team player, but it's another to be a good captain. Few will have the opportunity to feel the weight of the responsibilities and the happiness of knowing you're making a difference. Being captain of any type of organization in my eyes is a huge job. It’s teaching respect by showing respect. It’s helping 11 girls, including myself, strive and push themselves to be the best dancers I know we all can be. Having the title of captain doesn’t mean being the boss of everyone, being in the front in every dance, or just thinking that the captain should come before everyone else. Captains are the inspiration of the team. They’re the person that everyone on the team looks up too. Being a natural born leader is also a big role of dance team. That means having self-confidence, good communication skills, courage, clear desire to make progress towards a goal, and a fair degree of understanding your fellow teammates. Being a captain requires you to focus on the big picture, doing what’s best for your team even on your worst days. If you’re negative, the team will take on the same attitude, even if everyone else has had a great day. As captain of your dance team, you’ll definitely encounter some sticky situations, like having to confront your friends when they aren’t practicing full-out or telling an injured teammate that she’ll have to sit out a performance. But it’s…

I’ve given my all in everything I do and demonstrated while participating in other extracurricular activities. I’m a strong speaker and I always do what I am told. I believe I have the qualifications needed to be captain for the 2010-2011 color guard season(s). I know I’ve had the experience in leading a group like this and not only have I led the guard out into a performance I’ve also taken charge in most of my extracurricular activities I’ve stage managed performances, helped in properties, and ran sound for my previous theater arts/choir performances so taking charge really won’t be something new me. I’ve learned from my previous experience, which have helped me surpass my challenges in now a day situations.…

I have dedicated my heart and soul into my team. Always attending every event I could, and having my game face on ready for a win. There is something about stepping onto the pitchers mound ready to throw the first strike that makes me never want to leave the field. However an even better feeling is that sweet spot the ball hits when you power hit one to the gap in the outfield. Words can’t even explain how good that feels. My three years of dedication to this team paid off when I was promoted to captain on the varsity team my senior year. I got to show everyone that I could be a leader and lead everyone into victory. Being a captain doesn’t mean just ordering people around, it is much more then that. To be a leader you have to earn respect…

Becoming Drill Team Captain was such a great experience. I feel as if becoming captain helped me with my leadership skills. Whenever my coach isn't at school, or she's busy, I have to be the one to make sure my team is on task with whatever we are doing. I lead warm ups, go over routines, etc. What made being captain so special to me was that I was able to help out my teammates. I helped them not only physically , as in perfecting the routines, but I also helped them emotionally and mentally. There's so many girls that come to me, needing someone to talk to. I love to help girls become more confident. Throughout the years I've been on drill team, and having different experiences each year, I've…

I show many qualities of leadership. As a patrol you are suppose to be a role model for kids. Be their leader and guide then from right to wrong. I was also a main player for my soccer team. If the captain were not there I would step up to the plate and guide our team to victory during games and keep everyone motivated and in line during practices.

Leadership is one of the most important traits to have not only in school but outside too. In school, one can take up the position of being a leader by tutoring classmates. By helping a peer understand a topic they were confused about, a feeling of accomplishment and happiness comes along. One can also be a leader by being a part of a club and helping the club officers and other members reach their club goals. For example, I am part of the Environmental Club and I have been an active member since freshmen year. I have participated in many of the events put together by this club and have helped them in planning these events to ensure things run smoothly. At the moment, I am working with two friends on a marketing project for the tower gardens in school. If I am accepted into the National Honors Society, I will be able to gain more experience in being a leader and I will then be able to help the Environmental Club more in fulfilling more club goals. If accepted, I plan to take everything I learn from being a part of this society and apply it to my life.…

There are very few people who are lucky enough to be a captain of a team. I am one of those lucky few people. On April 12, I had an audition to try out for a Color Guard Captain position. I had been waiting for that day since early February. On April 15th, the captains were announced. I heard my name, looked at Makayla Hurt, she heard her name, and we could not believe it. Over the weekend, I thought what can I do to help improve the team. Well I can improve skill, change attitude for the better, and how will the decision I made along with our coach of me being a captain affect the team.…

Leadership is a lifestyle, not a role one adopts. Leadership requires strength and power, but also the ability to empathize and recognize others' needs. As a high school student, I have had many opportunities to be a leader, whether it be through clubs, group projects, or extracurricular activities. During my Junior year, I assistant directed the play Steel Magnolias under the eye of my drama teacher as well as a college student director. This role allowed me to learn the ropes of directing as well as take care of the six girls cast in the show. I adapted the role of the "stage mom," making sure every hair was curled to perfection and every prop was in its place, as well as ensuring their lines were memorized and their staging was proper. I…

Second, I have the necessary leadership skills that a captain must have. I am not afraid to speak out and be heard by my team mates. I will get intense if I have to and I will always acknowledge those who work hard. I have the ability to choreograph routines for school performances, which I did last year when I was awarded the position of captain along with Kelsey. When we had a dance team, I took it upon myself to make up dance moves that we used in our routine. I fully understand what stunts go best with what counts, how our jump sequences work, and how much time the team needs to transition from one place to another on the floor.…
