Since it was founded 1958, HOBY’s main goal has stayed the same: to inspire and develop young leaders. Those leaders will go on to change their community, change the world. I would like to be one of these leaders. I have dedicated myself to being a leader in this community and school, and would like to develop my skills and to become a better leader.

There are two main benefits to being a leader. One plus to being a leader is that knowing through all of the difficulties, all of the sacrifices you made a difference in the community. It feels extraordinary to know that something in this world is changed for the better. I have felt this when volunteering at a SAFE After-hours night. It was gratifying to see high school students having fun without the use of drugs or alcohol. I have also experienced this rewarding feeling when volunteering for a blood drive. When I saw all of the people donating blood to help others in need, it was splendid to know that I had helped pull it all together. I knew I had helped others. In addition, a plus of leadership is knowing that all of one’s hard-work has paid off. It is satisfying to know that you made a difference through your work.

I knew then that through my determination, I completed a project and that wouldn’t have happened if I had not stepped outside of my comfort zone to be a

For instance, I feel great sense of pride when I reflect on my years of leading a Relay For Life. Knowing that my team has fundraised over $10,000 in 5 years, and was the first team in Pembroke Pines to raise $1,000 this year, gives me a feeling of satisfaction, because I know that the work my team and I are doing is making a difference. Another rewarding aspect to being a leader, is helping someone achieve his or her goals. For example, helping teach the beautiful game of water polo to my friends interested in playing for Flanagan, is often the highlight of my day. Last year, I had no experience in the water at all, but with the help of the seniors on the team then, I was able to improve and become a much better athlete.

Being a fairly shy person, it can be difficult to step out of my comfort zone and lead, but I like to think that I am a valuable leader when I step up. In middle school, I have had a great deal more leadership opportunities than in high school as I am only a sophomore, but I am actively seeking leadership roles in the classroom and activities I participate in. Holding a position as a club officer for Cub Club throughout my 7th and 8th grade years has taught me a great deal about what it means to truly be a leader. Leadership requires responsibility, commitment to doing the best you can for your community and the people you lead, and overcoming obstacles. During my time as a club officer, we partnered with Children’s Village, first when we did the Christmas toy drive, then when we went through training to volunteer with the kids.

By taking on leadership roles such as being president of environmental club and public relations of class council, I am a mentor to others all while sharing the same interests and providing opportunities for them to build their own character.

I love interacting with people and helping them develop themselves as productive citizens and people. From community volunteer work to service in school organizations and honor societies, people have always been my passion. That’s why I believe that the first step to achieving any goal is establishing a support system of people that will support the journey to success. This is the reason that I’ve become involved in several leadership and service organizations in my school, including student council, Future Business Leaders of America, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, National English Honor Society, National Honor Society, varsity basketball, and chamber choir. In my role as President of FBLA and FCA, my position as Vice President in NHS, and my responsibilities as a team leader in student council and a section leader in chamber choir, I’ve learned how to lead a group of people in service and support.
