236 Words1 Pages
Being a leader is something that has always been emphasized in my day-to-day life. However, it was not until recent years that I realized how closely the younger generation truly paid attention to my actions. Being a leader within my high school has given me a platform to influence not only the younger generation but also my peers. I have stepped into leadership roles on the volleyball court, in my districts FFA Chapter, and also within my student body government. I have also been granted the opportunity to be involved with several outreach programs with my districts grade school. Being involved with the youth has truly encouraged me to be the best that I can be. While I have been in high school I have participated in many extracurricular activities.
