Recommended: Impact of leadership in an organization

San Joaquin Memorial has had a significant impact on my leadership and service experiences in my life. During my time at SJM, I have gotten the chance to take part in leading sports teams. I was the captain of my JV basketball and volleyball teams my freshman year and I helped lead us to a successful season filled with hard work and integrity. Through my time as captain for my teams, I learned that being a leader requires a great amount of service to those who you're leading. Personally, my role as captain has been very meaningful in my leadership experiences at SJM. I learned to take initiative and encourage those who I am leading even when when situations get tough. Although it may be hard to lead a group of people when you're down, it shows

    Mission San Juan Capistrano is in the center of the small town named for it. Shops and restaurants also named for it are found on the streets in front of the entrance to the mission. A high adobe wall surrounds the mission grounds. There are many restored buildings in the inner patio, and the great stone church. Across the fountain there is the bell wall that sits beside the ruined church. Near the bell is a statue of Father Junipero Serra. The ruins of the original stone church are in front of the mission. Only the sanctuary and parts of the church remain, but that’s enough to have an idea of how big it was. The church walls are made of large stones and birds have build nests between them. Mission San Juan Capistrano was one of many Spanish

After an indecisive clash at Las Guasimas on June 24, Shafter readied his men to take the strategic heights around the city, while Cuban insurgents blocked any Spanish reinforcements arriving on the roads to the north, in what would be one of the most decisive battles of America’s “Splendid Little War.” 1

    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.

At Junior level I have learned that I may have to be more critical on older players and try to get the best from them where as younger players maybe needed some encouragement.

    I have learned from my mistakes and I have also learned how to approach and handle situations differently. I would agree that the C.S.L. program has mold me and shaped me to become a better leader for the future. There is nothing that I would do differently or change about my experience. I have met new friends and mentors based on the mission and standards that I have set as an effective leader. According to Brown, “an effective leader should produce the potential for dramatic change, but an ineffective leader can also create chaos and even failure” (Brown 2006). Therefore, as an effective leader, one has to have a vision and goal setting in mind. A team depends on its leader to tell them where, why, and how they are going to accomplish their goals and challenges. Throughout the summer 2016 semester, I had the opportunity of volunteering for several organizations, including Caps of Love Charity, St. Paul A.M.E Church, and the Alzheimer’s Association. As of today, I try to keep in touch with the students and friends that I met during my volunteer experience and we keep each other motivated throughout the week via telephone. I was also able to incorporate the elements of a mindful leader throughout my C.S.L experience. As a mindful leader, I have embodied the “leadership presence by cultivating focus, clarity,
