During class we discussed about whether its a good or bad thing to end up having a different goal that we have set for ourselves and right away I thought about how I changed some of my goals that I have set for myself. One of the goals I changed was how staying close to my family because I am a very family oriented person but I felt like I had to get out of my comfort zone by choosing to attend Johnson County Community College. I always thought I would make a positive impact in the county that I got raised in. Later on I said to myself that I have to do a greater impact by being a leader outside of my community in order to grow as a person but also a well-rounded leader in regards to living up to different expectations compare to the expectations …show more content…

It was hard for me to adapt to this way of working and how he directed his commands in regards to this tone of voice. I believe that someone should consider a different way of leadership. The way I see it is how each professor I have came across and the way they taught the course was completely different in every course because a professor could have been taught a way that made me understand the concept of the material. It could definitely change the way someone think but I feel like adaption is a key role when it comes to strengthening leadership skills. The discussion we had towards the end of class caught my attention because we were talking about if protesting gives a bad image to a leader and I feel like it all depends on what is happening throughout the protest. I personally don 't like the idea of protesting due to the fact that I am very quiet person but I still make an impact in and out of school as a leader. However, my whole perspective about protesting changed whenever Donald Trump announced the ending of the Dream Act(DACA). I was and still am very passionate about this topic which made me want to protest for a positive impact and acknowledging the fact that it 's going to hurt a lot of families especially children that came to the United States has a young

I remember the day I received a little yellow paper that said, “Cinthia Gordillo you are eligible to participate in commencement.” I started tearing up because I knew that I had accomplished one of my dreams as well as my mother’s dream. My mom decided to leave her home town in Honduras because of the lack of jobs and violence. I was born in Madera, CA four months after my mom migrated to California. Growing up my mom emphasized the importance of education however, out of her six children I was the first one who decided to pursue a higher education.

Non violence protest has been practiced by multiple people all over the world, and it has shown to be successful. Specifically Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with his form of non violence within the Civil Rights Movement. He is a legend, he has influenced many people to follow his tactics, in order to make the world a better place and to progress the country.

Initiating a violent protest will alert their communities of the issue but in a negative way. While a peaceful protest is more likely to positively bring awareness to the issue and spark change. Standing alone can be hard because it means going against social proof. People who stand alone on certain issues and beliefs notify their communities to the existence of a

Another example of a protest would be the Black Lives Matters movement that has been going on recently. People from the movement have been blocking freeways and even coming to protest at the Minnesota State Fair and disturbing the peace of everybody there and causing them to have much more security. I am not against what they are standing up for in the slightest bit, I am more just against the fact that they are out blocking major roads and intersections and are showing up protesting at a family function like the state fair. Not all of the friendly protests are so bad but I think that if they are putting other people at risk or in danger no matter it be physical, or mental danger or even just losing their jobs that they have, that, in my opinion, would definitely create a more negative impact on

This protest is to spread awareness of the brutality against African Americans by police officers in America. These movements have reached the NFL by the quarterback Colin Kaepernick who takes part in a silent movement by sitting/kneeling during the National Anthem for those lives taken by those with a badge and a gun. I currently sit during the pledge of allegiance, and National Anthem because the lives of those we’ve lost have never been justified. Now white people have a lot of ignorant opinions to object to the jobs of police officers. Such as “All lives matter’’ which is a very true statement to say, but in this society is it

I have been a part of a protest before, and I know why we do them. I understand and feel the pain and suffering that black people deal with every single day here in America. Protesting is a vehicle for change if done correctly: it is considered the American way. Furthermore, civil disobedience should always be encouraged because it brings the fruits of social change as an end result.

In the course of the year, due to the Peer Leadership program, I feel much more motivated. At the beginning, I was insecure and unable to carry out the responsibilities successfully. Many times I found myself out of place and expressing myself was a challenge since I did not feel confident. But I have been able to feel part of a group for the first time in a class at school. I can share with other peers and unwind more easily in front of them and out of class as well.

Introduction Team leadership encompasses many things. It may seem like a simple and small task, but in a real sense, it is complex and comes with responsibilities, and commonly, it determines the success of any team or a group. However, the value of teamwork should not be overemphasized considering that all organizations need individuals and personnel who are willing to share ideas, listen to others and contribute to the problem solving of any given group or a company. Team leaders should have the ability, authority, and power to analyze data and information with a team of people with a common aim and objective as well as issues. The leader should understand the dynamic patterns, the connections and relations between paramount factors in these objectives, aims and issues that help in the analysis process.

Most importantly, since the contents of this course are largely different from what I have learned in my major courses. I regard this as a rare opportunity for me to take on some new challenges, and I would like to take a chance to develop my leadership skills. Before attending this course, “leadership” is a word quite far away from me, and I only have some basic understandings of it. And I found out that most of my thoughts I had about leadership are very different from what it really is.

Nice discussion post this week! You start off with a great definition of what leadership is. To me, it is hard to define what leadership is, especially in one sentence, but I agree with you that leadership is the action of leading others or an organization. I feel like it is when someone steps up and goes into the unknown as well. It is also important to mention that it is never just one single person.
