550 Words3 Pages

By the time I became a senior in high school, I was involved in a broad range of activities and I was a leader in almost all of them.

I was then the strategy captain, which meant that I had to run the scouting team through three long, often 10-hour weekends. They would often be tired and unwilling to perform tasks. I thus realized my second aspect of leadership: charisma. I needed to inspire those around me with charisma in order to inspire everyone to keep watching matches, ranking teams, and turning in scouting
