Webster dictionary defines being successful as “accomplishing an aim or purpose”. In my eyes, this is what I strive towards every day. I want to live my life with “aim or purpose”. I want to be able to leave a lasting legacy; To be known as the girl who was easy to get along with, the girl who was always respectful, and the girl who was kind. I think it is important for me to be seen as these things because I care a lot about what other people think of me. Not as in if people like what I’m wearing or not, but the way people see me and my personality. I want people to remember me as one of the best leaders Louisville has had.

Teachers can rely on me to show other struggling students the path to success. When we do group work in class, I can be counted on to help explain to a peer how to do something in a way that might work for them. Being able to help other students makes me feel dignified in a way that I am helping them be successful. Another way I am able to show my leadership in the classroom is by being respectful. By being quite and respectful to teachers during class discussion, I like to think other students look up to me and my behavior. Being a leader, some people are not going to like when you point out if they are doing something wrong. Although it is hard for me when someone is mad or doesn’t like me, I know it is my duty as a leader to make sure people are doing the right …show more content…

My freshman year, I had many choices as to what school activities and clubs I could join. Sports have always been a big part of my life, I have met many of my closest friends through sports and learned a lot of valuable life skills. Although it was very rare for an athlete to do both athletics and drama, I went against the statistics. I like to think of this as an act of leadership in a way. The culture of our school is changing now and I like feeling as if I help some of this year's freshman decide that it was okay to do and enjoy both activities. As a freshman, I juggled being in both one-act and sports. For the past two years, I have been stage manager for our one-act troupe. As stage manager, I am privileged with being able to help everyone backstage and direct them where to go. I am in charge of all of the backstage controls and setups. I would also have to answer any questions any performers had during a performance. Though a lot of work goes into my activities, it is always worth

I consecutively display leadership skills daily in practice and while performing. For example, when one of my teammates is struggling or not grasping the concept, I take it into my hands to work with them vigorously until they achieve their full potential. In like manner, I motivate my cheer sisters when they are down and reassure the team, as a whole, to walk in the spirit of excellence. To include, I feel that a leader is not someone who stands in front and dictates their group, but rather stands right next to their followers and goes through the battles with them. Additionally, I exemplify a respectful young lady in and out of uniform because I have noticed the little girls idolizing me and mimicking every move I make.

“Did the struggles and changes of the 1960’s make the U.S. more or less Democratic?” The 1960’s was a special time in America that we will never forget. The term democratic means more social equality and rights of the people. People realized that sitting and watching what was happening in front of them without saying anything would not help the situation.

I am very confident and consider myself a good leader. I initiate discussions in the classrooms and help those in need. I value responsibility, accountability, and timeliness. Rising above expectations is something I strive for, such as going to early morning choir practices for Chamber Choir and Triple Trio. Last year, I was president of the freshman class.

Calling yourself a leader is easier said than done as leadership is not about being boastful or overbearing, but the happy medium between the two. Leaders should be able to recognize the moment in which one (a leader) is needed, and then take control of the situation to set an example for others; however, this should not be done disdainfully. The best leaders are those who are role models, looked up to, and inspirations for others. Sometimes leaders will leave an impression on others, whether it be from something they said or did. I hope to leave a long-lasting impression on my peers as a leader in the classroom.

Although I had to overcome many obstacles, the concept of determination was especially important throughout the journey. I have worked very hard to earn the opportunity to even be considered for National Honors Society. Another quality I can speak to is my positive attitude.

To be a good leader is not the authority we have over others but what we do to gain the acceptance of others. For me, what we accomplish throughout life represents who we are as a person and can be measured through the people we help, the work that is done, how we treat others and the responsibilities we take. I have had the opportunity to expose myself to volunteering and leading by involving myself with the community, like those who are handicapped and at the Calgary International Children’s Festival, in school through club activities, out with the community, like those who are handicapped and at the Calgary International Children’s Festival, and in my household of seven which I call my family. Selflessly helping others has taught me many lessons and grown to make me who I am today. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to gain the opportunities that life has given me which I am grateful for.

I have been a leader during class assignments, I help to delegate tasks, have open communication with all group members to make sure we are all on the same page and to share ideas regarding the project. As a leader I try to involve all members and get everyone’s feedback, I like to allow for all members to share ideas because everyone looks at things differently and can come up with different ideas that can help add to the project. Having open communication, teamwork and trust are very important to me when in a leadership position. Helping others if they do not understand something, or helping them look at things from a different perspective can also be important when working with a group of people. When taking on a leadership role, it is also important for me to not judge others and make sure everyone is treated the same.

If someone gets off track I try my best to realize it and get them back on track. Always having open opportunities to show that anyone can be a leader and listening to what others have to say is always key to being a great leader. Another example of leadership is letting others say what their ideas are or what they think is right or wrong. Listening to people and what they have to say might be a great idea or source, which you might be surprised about. People who don't do well in school might have really big open minds, and people who do well in school have the one qualities that make them who they

I am interested in applying for the PhD degree program in Food Science starting in Fall 2018. I graduated from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, SD in May 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology and a supporting minor in Chemistry. Food Science and Technology is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing disciplines of interest in recent years, due to increase awareness by the majority of the global population of the foods being consumed. In past years, professional degrees have been the degrees to be most desired with the impression that a job is guaranteed after graduation. That misconception is changing at a faster rate, with degrees in the biotechnologies and engineering taking over.

The ability that the study of engineering has to revolutionize the entire world completely fascinates me. Though the field of engineering is extremely broad, one thing that all fields have in common is that engineers apply their knowledge, ideas, and education in order to create helpful, innovative, and unique things that often change the world for the better. This very potential for engineering to completely change the world, starting from one simple idea, is what excites me about the field of engineering. Ordinary people are able to take an idea and transform it into a reality that can affect many other people. Another thing that excites me about the field of engineering is the ability of a team to overcome challenges.

Saving the environment for future generations has been a controversy for many years. Some may say that global warming isn’t real and some say that the world is going to end. There are hundreds of organizations all over the world that protect our environment, all of the people that are part of these organizations have a need to help out. However, there are also hundreds of people that don’t believe in taking care of the environment. To me, nature is really important to me and I believe that every ecological system has some kind of value.
