In my role as the school’s Student Music Head this year, I have become an effective communicator through acting as a liaison between the faculty and students. Moreover, my mentorship position with the Each One Teach One Program has taught me how to be a role model in everything I do–in skating with my buddy, talking about hobbies and even writing letters–I lead by influence. I also am a leader in my community through my role as a volunteer youth counselor for children’s day camps. My position as a counselor drives me to set the goal of being a role model for younger students; a goal I achieve by having an open mind, exhibiting both honesty and humility, and offering…

CCF is extremely proud of your dedication and hard work that you and your staff are doing to improve patient care. I hope to see this display of support at the 2018 Shared Governance Day Event.…
Being one of the eldest senior team members of MOVZ Dance Company, serving in a position of leadership has been a normality of the last four years. As over twenty hours per week are spent around numerous impressionable young girls, the decisions I make are of utmost influence. I hope my presence has guided the company towards excellence, in the sense of both talent and atmosphere, and has left a positive impact on these girls for the rest of their lives.…
Chartering and being in charge of a club can be very rewarding, but there can also be a plethora of obstacles that have to be overcome. I am the president of the Best Buddies program – a program that seeks to increase interactions between people with and without special needs – at my high school, and I was the first person in my county to charter this program which was back when I was in the eighth grade. Being the President of this specific club is very challenging and unique: it requires you to work with a wide variety of students – in the mainstream setting and those with special needs – and those students’ parents. From these challenges, I learned the value of persistence and the importance of keeping to your word no matter what life…
Debbi Fields was from humble beginnings but with hard work and determination she became a shining example of a woman who achieved the American dream. By establishing a successful cookie business she accomplished something that most believed was impossible. Not only did her dream come true but it did so in a big way. Her rags-to-riches story should be an inspiration to all of us that through hard work and perseverance anything is possible.…
My inner goddess was brimming with pride. This election was Kristi Yamaguchi’s gold medal. I bore on my shoulders ten Key Clubs in my division. Everywhere I went, I was reminded of my responsibility to fulfill my duty: “Did I tell my clubs that monthly reports are due on the 5th yet? Nope, got to send an email about that.” The notes and reminders app on my phone was in frequent use. In the hallways at school, I strode independently with an aura of self-assurance and maturity echoed in every step. I had a job to lead the clubs in my division and represent the Key Clubs in my…
Throughout my high school career, I have been given numerous opportunities to lead other students by example, work ethic, volunteerism, and school involvement. I believe that my greatest impact as a leader in high school has been through my participation in a Service Learning Class. This class gave me the chance to help and lead others by tutoring younger students in the middle school and elementary school. As a senior, I felt responsible for providing a voice for the class in ideas and decisions to help better our school. I worked with administrators, teachers, and class members to promote healthy habits of responsibility, school pride, respect, and service.…
Thank you. If you keep watching, there is an episode where they celebrate V-A Day which is the day that the war ended. Again, if you strip away all the Nazi stuff, it could be Thanksgiving. It could be an Independence Day. It is really chilling by how closer it is to the American Dream than not at all.…
On Thanksgiving we gather with our family and friends, thinking that we are celebrating everything that we are grateful for and giving thanks to that. We do this by sitting around a large table of smiling faces with a big, hot, succulent, golden brown turkey in the center that went through a horribly miserable death, just to get on our plates in time so we could celebrate our good times through its worst. First, I would like to talk about my own experience. Getting time to spend with my family is one of the greatest traditions, and I am so thankful for that. For having to work long hours and going to school, and everyone else having such a busy schedule. Find that time to have every family member gathers around the table and enjoy a wonderfully…
From July to present day, being a Peer Leader has had its ups and downs. Of the many trails and failure, our overall mission will be completed. Besides the task of make Teachers Preparatory School more college bound, I gained personal benefits that I wouldn’t have been able to receive on my own. I will carry these benefits to the work place and exercise it during life.…
The ability to care for others became something that I determined could end up forever impacting my life, as I became comfortable with helping those who were injured. Although I initially had doubts about my role as a leader, the position that had been acquired this summer allowed me to understand that in juxtaposition to those around me, could begin to lead others more prosperous than before. This position allowed me to further my ability to take initiative as I continued to use my newfound appreciation as a leader in my high school…
Being in the Collingswood HS Marching Band for five years has put me in the position of being an example to the younger members. I have learned that patience, and perseverance are valued qualities in a leader. When helping a new member of my section in the band this year, I had to be patient with her so that she would be able to be able to contribute positively to the performance. Also, when time management between school, band, and other responsibilities have weighed heavily on me, I have…
