194 Words1 Pages
Being a Grade 8 Retreat leader was an amazing opportunity that I will continue to look back on with fondness throughout my life. The Retreat is an annual event that our school holds to help the Grade 8 students build friendships. I remembered my own grade 8 retreat as an influential part of my high school experience, so when I became old enough to become a leader, I jumped at the opportunity. Creating team posters and name tags were some of the more routine tasks that had to be completed before the retreat. However, the more rewarding aspect of the retreat was being able to bond with the children. Simply making conversation with the kids was extremely engaging. On the last night of the retreat, one of the boys in my cabin announced that I had

My time in 4-H, working, volunteering, and my first semester of college have provided me with leadership opportunities and experiences that were often challenging. In order to cope with these challenges, I had to develop skills that would allow me to move forward. The first of which is the ability to work well on a team. This skill is one that I’ve had to practice in many environments such as completing a group project, playing softball, working in food service, and volunteering as a camp counselor.

When I contemplate about my years at Pine Forge Academy I realized that I had numerous fond memories. "Little Lake” was a factory that made redwood patio furniture. While on the bus to Little Lake I recall how the group of students would make up songs to sing and how fantastic we sounded. I remembered the long days and how many of us would return to the campus covered with wood shavings. I reminisce on the many summers that I did not return home for summer vacations.

This includes teaching children from kindergarten to 6th graders to learn how to hit the ball, to proper have a better form, and to have fun during the camp. This leadership inspire me to become compassion and help people grow to learn new things. Another demonstration of leadership is when I join a tennis team in high school. To me, leadership during tennis is to know your team and yourself better because it can set the team to become successful. This also means helping other achieve the impossible.

Reflection: Friday Night Lights 1) What were you/your group responsible for in the preparation of Friday Night Lights?

When I walked out of the room, he should have expected to be greeted by the entire Cataula Family waiting for him to see if he had advanced closer to be the next Planetary Sovereign. However, he never expected to see his daughter off to the side looking ready to hurt someone with tears in her eyes. Everyone on the planet knew there were only a few Viceroys left on the listing for testing. Now that all Twelve Leaders of the Hierarchy conducted the testing as one, family members seldom seen or even known were traveling to the City of the Planetary Sovereigns. He stood tall, removed all emotions from his face, and stormed forward.

Some kids I couldn’t memorize how to spell their names, but I definitely made a lot more friends. I’m only able to memorize Julie and Kyla ( from a different school). On Wednesday, one of my cabin mates had to move to another cabin because she had no partner. Her partner had left home because they was really homesick. I never got to know both of their names or know themselves because they were really quiet and never talk to any of us.

While being on fall break, and now having the freedom of being on Sabbatical from the daunting task of Church Administration, I took the opportunity to return to one of my all-time favorite activities, Mentoring Young Men at Middle School. As completed a 90-minute session with four young men, I realized that many kids today grow up with absentee fathers. There father’s s are never home, always gone, never there for important dates. Even when their fathers are home, they really are not there. They are detached, surfing the internet or on Facebook, watching television, playing video games or working.

I played soccer sophomore and junior year in high school. My sophomore year was actually the first year I played soccer in a official team that I had to try out. But actually, my junior year I was chosen as a team captain and as a team captain I had to lead practice, starting with warm ups and stretches to leading them on the field and yelling my lungs out. Sometimes practice was rough to the point the girls wanted to give up but I always motivated them to do better and try their hardest because at the end of the day you were only cheating yourself or benefiting yourself. When my coach had to leave early for work, instead of finishing practice early, I continued to lead practice even if it meant taking the huge bag of balls home with me and

The online personal leadership assessment helped me identify my leadership style, strengths, and weaknesses. My leadership style results identified me as a creative builder.

This leadership assessment made me reflect on my capacity, but it also allowed me to analyze areas where I can grow.

In the three textbooks that I read, this past week, I have taken a few main points from them and applied them to my life. In the first book “Emotionally Intelligent Leadership”, I learned that every setting and situation affects leaders and how they lead their followers. I linked this concept to my life because I act different around my coworker’s verses how I would act around my teammates and opponents when I play sports. The people in each of those groups also affect how I would act as a leader in certain situations. I tend to be more serious when I am working with my coworkers, but when I play sports I tend to be surrounded by my friends which would lead me to act the complete opposite.

I attended my first summer camp when I was five years old. It was a local day camp, and I remember the charismatic energy that all my counselors had. I wanted to be a counselor and do my best to give to my campers as my counselors did to me. Before that, I went through a five-week leadership program at this camp. When I learned to lead, I participated in activities that taught me the skills that I needed to be an effective leader inside a classroom- patience, understanding, teamwork, communication, and critical thinking.
