Leadership
Growing up from a military background (dad, brother, aunt, and uncle), my parents taught me the importance of being a responsible person since I was a child. They instilled guidance, responsibilities, keeping commitment, and being a leader not a follower at an early age. With these values it carried me through elementary school, middle school and high school. I received good grades, was on the swimming team, during 2010 – 2010. I encouraged teammates to keep trying when they didn’t do well in competition. I did this to keep the team motivated. I had to show leadership, the volleyball team, which I had to be a team player & cheerleading which I had to demonstrate teamwork.
I demonstrated leadership at an early age by working as a volunteer student with the Park Rangers on nature and outdoors projects throughout Prince Georges’ County Maryland. I assisted Rangers in tree plantings, stream cleanups, trail enhancements, wetland preservations and nesting box construction. For doing a great job I was offered to the opportunity to go sailing in Baltimore, MD.
I also demonstrated leadership when I volunteered at the American Historical Association by directing all the correspondence to staff members. I answered all calls referring the calls to appropriate staff members. I typed a variety of materials on the computer such as letters & labels. In addition, I was giving tasks and made sure I was done when I had a deadline date for completion.
Volunteering for the above tasks provided me with the skills I had to get a paying job when I was in high school and during the summer months. I worked while going to school maintaining my grades at good standard. One place I worked at was Party City as a stock clerk. I demonstrated great work ethics. Stocking was a big responsibility since this was a new store.
