LEADERSHIP PROFILE

Throughout my life I have made many leadership breakthroughs. Here are my top 5...

1. PAL PROGRAM

Back in my elementary school there was a leadership opportunity that you were chosen by your teacher to join. I was of course chosen not confident at all but learned and progressed as I went on.

Responsibilities included:

• Announcements
• Creating games for younger grades at recess
• Helping the secretary with tasks
• Being a teacher’s assistant
• Help janitors with trash pickup

2. LEADERSHIP CLUB TRIP

The trip included a high ropes course which tested strength as an individual but more as a team. We did group oriented challenges to test our teamwork. We also got to enjoy a day out in nature as a group to bond and learn more about each other.

This trip showed me how much of a leader my teachers thought I was. I pushed myself to my limits with people I barely knew and really succeeded. I proved I could do activities without letting my inner shyness get the best of me. Surely, it impacted me for the greater.

3. SISTER MOVING OUT DAY

This experience led me to gain more event planning skills because it involved a lot of prior planning. I made a game plan and achieved more then what was expected. I allowed myself to be vulnerable and take chances to make my sister and her fiancé happy.

4. MY FIRST JOB

Receiving the news I got the job in the end of grade 10 was great but I knew I had to step up to the plate and be the leader I knew I could. Working with a money and customers requires a lot of confidence in yourself. Taking this leap of faith, I had to become a better leader and perfect my skills. I have definitely learned a lot and still do learn to this day.

5. TERRY FOX RUN

This event did occur less than a week ago but I learned a lot from it. I perfected my skills in getting task done by taking on large leadership roles in my team. Allowing myself to get involved in a school activity really showed me what our school is possible of. This event really made my school spirit as leader come back.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT?

In the near future I hope I can excel even more. I wish to learn how to communicate better and level with someone as a leader. I believe this will occur when I start to plan my future after high school.I will have to communicate with people I don't know, this will force me to improve my skills. I hope the future allows me to learn more as a leader.

PERSONALITY PROGRESSION

I would like to think my personality has grown for the better in he last 7 years. I believe I have learned my strengths and weakness' and I now know how to manage them. I also have learned what my passions are and how I want to develop them, which will probably change in the future. My overall approach to situations has definitely changed drastically since I started working. I want to think I'm more mature and knowledgeable in tough issues.

BELIEFS AND VALUES

My values as an individual definitely impact my actions and how I act towards others as a leader. I think my core values consist of creativity, being adventurous, being passionate, and realism. These 4 values reflect upon how I am as a leader. The decisions I make are usually out of the box and innovative that others wouldn't usually take the risk and do.

FUTURE GROWTH

At a very young age in school my teachers have always said I displayed leadership qualities. As a very shy person I never really believed them. Growing up I have gained more confidence every year but I still am very shy. Going into the future I hope I am able to break my bubble and publicly speak without worry. I hope I can use the truest potential that my teachers saw and prove them right.
