My High School Student Senate Officer

A leader is defined by The Cambridge Dictionary as, “a person who manages or controls other people, especially because of their ability or position.” When I read this definition of a leader, the first person who comes to my mind is my high school Student Senate adviser.
As I first began high school I didn’t really have a place to go or a group to be with. I tried joining a variety of different clubs and organizations at my school and found that FFA was where I belonged. I had a great adviser my first three years of being involved in FFA, but after getting a new adviser my senior year while serving as president, I knew that I needed someone to help me who already had knowledge of the program. Since I had just recently joined Student Senate and knew that the adviser had been very involved in FFA during the time he was in high school, and would be more than happy to help me throughout the year.
I was hesitant to ask for his help at first, but as I became more involved with Student Senate I went to him for many things involving both organizations. As the year went on I became closer to the adviser and could really see his leadership capabilities, which inspired me to become a better leader as well. He used his leadership abilities throughout the year to organize many different events through our school that not only benefitted
He put so much time into ensuring that all his students would succeed in all the things that they did. He gave up so much of himself to give to others that others have no choice but to look up to him. My Student Senate adviser has been to many different leadership conferences throughout the years, and has been able to take us with him to many of them. These conferences teach both him and us how to become better leaders and how to create better leaders as
