My involvement in the community started when I was extremely young. At the age of 5, I was helping serve food to the homeless on Christmas morning. As I got older, I volunteered in soup kitchens, recovery programs, and even local after-school programs. In addition, over the years, I have partaken in organizing events such as a Thanksgiving Food Basket Drive as well as a Children’s Christmas Party. Through these opportunities, I have managed to obtain multiple leadership roles such as being an academic mentor, community outreach organizer, as well as a volunteer marketing coordinator. All in all, serving my community is not just an activity that I do, it is a lifestyle that I live. Beyond all that, the most important leadership role I have obtained within my life is being a role model to the children and young adults in my community. I have been a Sunday School teacher, Youth Leader, as well as simply a friend to many children over the …show more content…

I found this to be so significant because I realized these children that I taught every week, now looked to me as an example. I came to this realization at the age of thirteen, when I crumbled my cornbread into a bowl of soup. Then, soon after, I looked up and a group of elementary schoolers had done the same. They watched me, listen to me, and respected me. I did not take this lightly, instead I made it a point to be kind, stress the importance of education, and be the best representation for them that I could. I believe our youth is the future of our community. Therefore, if I am able to set an example that leads these children down the right path and be a contributing factor to their success, I will. Ultimately, there is one large chain of leaders who raise the next generation leaders, so that the cycle toward equality, justice, and overall positive change is never

I’ve always been inspired to help others and give back to the community. As early as 4th grade I raised enough money to go to an orphanage in Cameroon and donate clothes and toys to the children in person. In 6th grade I started selling my handmade crochet scarves to raise money for care packages for domestic violence victims. After I made the care packages I gave them in person to victims at the YWCA. Simultaneously I launched a petition on change.org in hopes for a law that protect children against emotional abuse.

Since I was a child, I would take traits I’d learn from others and try to implement what I liked and disliked about them to help form the person I wanted to be. For instance, from my dad I saw what it meant to be empathic, strategize with others during their failures, and to praise others in public and criticize them in private. From my friends and teachers I learned how they studied so that I could get better at studying. I also read autobiographies about people I admired—Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Steve Jobs to absorb a little of them into the person I want to be. I was taking the traits of those I looked up to help form the person I wanted to be.

Leadership Working in the hotel industry in various managerial positions have taught me a lot of what such posts are all about, however, most of the time one tends to forget what leadership is all about when his or her focus in much more on achieving goals set by the directors. I recall my first taste of what leadership really is, going back several years when I was still a young boy in the Scouts. In those days, I used to look up at the scout leaders as role models and eventually I also did go up the ranks, but in those times it was more the fun and play element of it all! When I started to work in the hotel industry in my early teen's things got a little bit different, I could understand that working in a team sometimes it was much easier following “orders” given to us by one of our co-workers rather than from the manager himself.

1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time. I consider myself a leader, i believe this because i am the type of person that feels like if i am not the one to do it then it will not be done the right way. Whenever i would work in groups i would designate myself to be the one to do the harder assignment, because i only trusted that would take it serious, not anyone else. Also, whenever i do anything that involves a team, i like to take control, because i feel like i am the best one to work under pressure or i can choose the best solution for any situation.
