Leadership and community service activities are things that can help a person develop throughout their life. They are a great way to help others and provide a sense of accomplishment to those who donate their time and effort. Through my leadership and service I have made a positive impact not only on my school and family, but also on my community, church, and my job. These actions have made a difference and changed many individuals’ outlook on life. In an effort to benefit the less fortunate families in my community, I helped lead a project known as the Angel Tree program. The program is designed to provide Christmas presents to children who would otherwise not receive gifts for the holidays. Acting through various school organizations, I helped

    Leadership is being able to direct or guide other people by either your own actions or by actually guiding them into the right direction (Acumen). Inspiration to be a leader might come from many different areas like your family, friends, peers, or even teachers. My inspiration didn’t really occur to me until I started attending college in August 2013. In all actuality I never even thought of how to be a leader until I was in Mrs. Moore’s Perspectives class. I now have a desire to be a great leader, and the inspiration has come from Mrs. Moore, and my family. I am the first to attend college out of my family, so in a away I have already started leading my siblings in the right direction. Being a leader means inspiring others to pursue their dreams, and aspirations and helping throughout the journey to success. Being a leader has nothing with authority or being able to tell other what, and how to do things, it’s about having people who look up to you and want to follow your example.

    We, Aimee Johnson and Jessie Virnig, along with Amy Wilson and Shawn Klimek, decided to try to give the homeless a little hope. The week before Christmas we went door to door and collected food for the local homeless shelter. We decided to focus on collecting food because around the Christmas season, a lot of emphasis is put on toy drives and people sometimes overlook the fact that the homeless still need to eat. In order to broaden our research, we decided to collect food from more than one group of people. We went to an average middle class neighborhood and to a college dormitory. Before we went out into the neighborhood and dorms, we prepared a thank you letter to give to everyone explaining to them who we were, to tell them that we were collecting food for the homeles...

    Two years ago, I worked at this very school as an employee of the Healthy Out-of-School Time (HOST) program. This was an out-of-school time program that empowered students to develop in a safe, caring, and educationally rich environment. Seeing the students I taught my first semester of college, who essentially helped me want to serve my community two years later; made me realize the true definition of a servant leader. I was honored to come back to the place that served me when I was in need. From here, I was able to sow a new seed into those very students. Anyone can do community service, write down the hours and get a signature but a servant leader is a person who makes serving a priority in their
