Recommended: Managerial roles

I am excited to share with you my rich experience in Future Business Leaders of America. As an enthusiastic and motivated member of FBLA for six years, I have dedicated countless of hours to fulfill the goals of FBLA for members in my school, New Jersey and around the country.
I have been a local officer every year since 8th Grade, starting as Northern Burlington’s Middle-Level President. I had my first opportunity to facilitate chapter meetings and meet with school officials. In addition, I attended the 2012 National Leadership Conference in San Antonio and participated in the Middle-Level Track. I networked with business leaders and middle level members across the world, and the rich experience I gained, such as leadership development, strengthening my confidence and networking opportunities, has stayed with me throughout high school. Furthermore, I served as Freshman Liaison and as a sophomore, Chapter Vice President. These positions gave me my first hands-on experience with facilitating fundraising events, such as the 2014 NBC Color Run, and attending the 2014 and 2015 Southern Region Summit. As a two-term Chapter …show more content…

I had to create and read applications, interview the applicants, and then select the committee members. In addition, I have completed many projects, including the new NJ FBLA Program, Adopt-a-Chapter, and a FBLA Recruitment Guide. Currently, I am finishing a Fundraising Guide with February 17th as the target completion date. My main goal as Membership Vice President was to ensure success of other chapters, especially newer and less experienced chapters. With a recruitment and fundraising guide, that is a compilation of ideas from a variety of chapters, and a Mentorship Program, I have made sure that every NJ FBLA chapter, and possibly every FBLA chapter, can have the opportunity to grow and

    Throughout the years of being a student at Council Rock, I have come to the realization of what a true leader is. A leader is not someone that just plans events, collects money, or shows up to meetings. Rather, this is someone that has a true connection with their peers, and has unmatched passion for what they do. With this, I can confidently say that since seventh grade, as a young adult, I have been shaped into an individual that fits these traits. Since that time, I have been involved in student government,

  • FFA Speeches

    Not only did I hold the office of Chapter Reporter my sophomore year of high school, but I was also elected Vice President the following year. Furthermore, I have been given the tremendous honor of serving as the Chapter President this year, and was selected to serve as a District XI Executive Committee member. Through these roles, I have had the chance to meet people from all over the state of Indiana, and even from across the nation; two of my closest friends live hundreds of miles away in two different states, one being in Missouri and the other in Oregon! In addition to all of this, I was also able to visit Washington, D.C. for the first time in my life, while attending a nationwide leadership conference with hundreds of members from across the United States. Not only have I developed myself as a person and leader in my home and community, but I have also pinpointed what it is that I want to do for the rest of my life. Although I would love to just be an FFA member for the rest of my life, I know that this is not possible, so I have decided on the next best option. I plan to study Agricultural Education while enrolled in college in order to become an Agriculture Teacher and FFA Advisor. By doing this, I hope to leave a mark on my students and instill a passion for FFA within them, just as my Advisor did for

    During this past summer I had the opportunity to travel to the Washington Leadership Conference (WLC), where I learned about leadership, citizenship, and service. During the conference we met in what was called large groups and community groups. Each community group had their own unique name, with some being called “revolutionaries” or the “legacies”, but the name of my group was the “Rough Riders”. At the time I really did not know much about the history of the Rough Riders or their impact in history, but after some research and watching a movie based on this story I was able to see a real life example of what lea...

  • Jersey Boys State Reflection

    Earlier this year, I was selected as my local chapter’s delegate to the American Legion Jersey Boys State. This was a new experience for me as this was the first time I was away from home with no one I knew. The main focus of that weeklong seminar was elections and although I knew I was competing against some of the best students in the state, I wanted to see what I could do. So I ran to be my floor’s ward leader, and won. Then I ran for my city council member, and won. Then I ran to by my county Vice-chair, and won. Then I ran to be my county senator, and lost. This was by far the most disappointing moment of the week. I had worked hard to climb up the mock political ladder and even had started imagining making it to the top. However, the

  • Leadership Inspiration: Anne Mulcahy's National Honor Society

    This club is known for recognizing students who demonstrated excellence in all areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Once a member of the club, you continue to expand your excellence by doing countless amounts of volunteering and showing your leadership skills. One volunteer project I enjoyed doing was becoming a peer helper. I hated seeing many of my classmates struggle with math and science. They knew if they didn’t pass the class they couldn’t graduated. So instead of letting them fail I took time out of my day and tutored many students in subjects like algebra, geometry, and chemistry. When I was helping my peers I did my best to find their inner confidence towards wanting to be successful. I believed this is what made me a true leader, because I didn’t allow my peers to become failures.

  • Berkshire Youth Leadership Program Analysis

    The Berkshire Youth Leadership Program sounds like an incredible program geared to help students learn more about leading others and themselves, and it’s an opportunity that I want to take full advantage of. Ever since I was young, I was always a “standout” in my class. Even back in pre-school, adults noticed that I was a natural born leader, going so far as to tell my parents that I was “going to be the first woman president”. In elementary school, I would always be learning things and understanding things faster than the other kids, and they would always look to me for help. As I grew older, things stayed similar to then and now, many of my peers come to me for academic help and help with their personal lives. Throughout my entire academic
