Personal Narrative: Hilltop Leadership
I have always taken interest in finding ways to build up my leadership skills. When I heard about Hilltop Leaders and their genuine interest in wanting you to become a great leader I knew applying to the program was an opportunity I had to take. Another reason I was inspired to apply was hearing not only the networking benefits of being in Hilltop Leaders, but hearing how it is a stepping stone to other leadership opportunities.

    A time when I took the lead in solving a problem in my community was when I chose my Eagle Project. I wanted my project to impact as many people as possible and I also wanted to give back to the organization that had sponsored my scout troop for so long. I looked over the church grounds and found a need. The church, borders the Harpeth River in Franklin, TN and members can choose to have baptisms done in the river. The problem that existed was that the baptismal site wasn’t safe for those partaking in it or viewing it. The riverbank is steep and there wasn’t a safe place for families to view the event. An old triangular deck was present, but it was small, not adequately anchored and had poorly attached rope rails. My goal was to construct a…

    Have you had any volunteer experiences and, if so, what did you like about participating? Give at least one example of what you liked. I have volunteered with Canterbury United Methodist Church on a mission trip and the Birmingham Zoo. When I volunteered with Canterbury, we went on a mission trip to Asheville, North Carolina for a week during the summer. I had the opportunity to travel to another city, in a different state, to help those who are less fortunate and live in harsh conditions. Seeing the harsh conditions that some people live in was very eye-opening for me because it really made me realize how fortunate, not only I, but the rest of my community is. I loved helping the people in Asheville because I knew that it is something they…

    My personal business leadership person I have chosen to who I feel I can say I identity with is Shaunie Stylez. I choose Shaunie because of his inspiring happiness that he portrays on his snapchat story. With his weird, goofy and out of control personality that put a smile on his follower’s darkest days. His snapchats really are the highlight of people’s day; he truly cares about his fans. I have only been only following Shauniee for about a year or less and I instantly say that I was inspired and felt so positive and just a happier person. Shaunie calls his snapchat followers his Man Boy Mafia family that spread nothing but love and positivity. Shaunie said on one of his snaps, “I love to help everybody out, that’s my job on this earth; Make…

Under the direction and suggestion of my grade school Saint Margaret Mary, volunteering in our community was inspired. Although there were no opportunities to serve in leadership roles during this undertaking, I had always embraced leadership. As a son of a Marine, I grew up with a solid sense of duty and service, in addition to a first-hand knowledge of leadership qualities.…
