My Leadership Philosophy

Growing up being the youngest of five children I had many people to look up to. I had a lot great leaders in my life that I aspired to be just like. Starting from a young age I got involved in sports like many other children. In those sports is where I started to learn how to become a leader. I have always been a loud and positive person, and in sports this had really helped me when I was in leadership roles. I was not afraid to go crazy to cheer on my team from the bench, field, or court. I like to have a presence in whatever activity I am involved in. I am not the one to sit back and let others do the work. In high school, I really started to flourish into the leader I am today. I continued to do sports, but I also got involved in other things
There are quiet leaders that are the ones that show their leadership more in their actions rather than words. There are leaders who stick to more of the academic activities and leaders that are more involved with the after school activities. All types of leaders are important as long as they use their leadership in a good and beneficial way. I have learned that I can be a different kind of leader in different situations. For example, when I played sports, I was a loud leader that loved to motivates my teammates and get them excited, and when I was a leader at a retreat, I didn’t enjoy to give speeches in front of many people, but I liked to stand back and talk one on one with the participants. I have also learned that you can’t just be a leader when you want to be. If you choose to be in a leadership position, you have to be a good example to others during the activity and outside of it. Everything I learned about leadership in high school had helped me choose the decision of becoming a youth ambassador of the United States through my local Rotary club. This year I have been living in Argentina, and it has really challenged my leadership
