Opus Prize Leadership Ceremony
I am honored for the fact that I joined the Anna Tyler Waite Leadership program from the beginning of the semester to start growing as a leader and begin my path to success. The program has four stages; each stage offers us diverse goals. The program provides opportunities for students not only to understand themselves better but also to gain experience from other leaders in the society. We had several events happened last semester, but I did not attend any of them because I was not aware of the decision that I am going to participate in this program. However, I did have the chance to see the video about the Opus Prize Leadership Ceremony held at Creighton University. The Opus Prize recognizes unsung heroes who are conquering the world’s persistent social problems. Those three nominees are all faith-based entrepreneurs who fundamentally change individuals, families, and communities. One of the nominees that stroke me most was …show more content…
I feel awkward when people being so enthusiastic at our first meetings. My families are always concerned about me being so introvert that I nearly do not hang out with friends on weekends. I tried several times to see if I could change the situation, but the reality always failed. The personality test report offered me some insights on others’ expectations about me and a few pieces of advice on how to manage myself. I started to reach out people when we first meet even though it is still a little bit uncomfortable for me. I think Anna Tyler Program gives me the confidence to improve myself to meet my expectations as a successful leader. Only after realizing those areas where I need development can I begin to improve my skills. You will learn how to communicate your thoughts and ideas in a way that truly motivates the people around

    Being a member in National Honor Society implies that you are a person of great character. One of the most important qualities that you can possess is leadership. Honesty is one of the key factors to being a good leader. You must be honest towards everyone, and in everything that you do. If a leader wasn't honest, then no one would trust them. And if they weren't trustworthy then who would want to follow their lead? Leadership also requires that you have an optimistic attitude about everything. You have to take control, and look for the best in every situation. No one wants to follow someone who is always in a bad mood, and always looks for something to complain about.…

    I wasn’t born a leader. No tragic event made me open my eyes to become a leader. In actuality, my mother enrolled me into an all-female women’s empowerment leadership program without my consent. I was not insecure, my grades were superb; I was however, an active follower of the most uninfluential group of friends every parent dreads. Being a follower instead of a leader is a very childlike trait. It takes an adult, woman or man, to step up and take charge in doing what they know is best for themselves and those who follow. When I’m not being a quirky goofball Emma Jean Bouie, I’m being sophisticated, empowered woman little miss Nadia Moffet. Ever since I met Nadia Moffet, C.E.O of The Queens Foundation and Miss North Carolina 2010, she has instilled something spiritually and mentally inside of me that has helped shape the young leader I am today. From the age of 13, I was no longer just Emma Jean Bouie, I slowly became, “a beautiful, powerful and strong beyond measure woman.’…

    In all of the horror of standing up and speaking in front of a crowd of thousands, I had finally reached the zenith of my juvenile existence and ascended into adulthood. The next day did not even matter, as I had achieved a victory that no one could take from me. However, I did still want to win that office, and it eventually came time for that almost dreaded moment of the big reveal of who would be the next North Carolina State Senior Beta Club President. Moreover, the minutes prior to the big reveal seemed like hours and I could feel my heart racing; but suddenly the moment had come and out of left field I heard my name announced as the next State President. Then I was overtaken with a jubilant attitude that I had never felt before and complete awe seized me as I could barely get out my acceptance speech through my ecstatic emotions, and it was during that weekend that I experienced the marvelous feeling of reaching…

    We've seen numerous of girls and the counselors all just talking to each other. All that at that point in my head I was asking myself, “What have I gotten myself into?”. Questions rushing through my head. The counselor greeted me and told me, “Hello, welcome you are welcome to grab a slice of pizza and anything you like and please take your seats afterwards.” After we grabbed our food Ariana and I took our seats. After a while they told us to quiet down. Jason told us everything about the Ophelia project and what was it about and how it could help us in our future. After they told us what it was about we played a little activity where we got to meet new people. I was nervous to talk to other people. Just the idea of it I wanted to zoom out of the classroom. After that activity one of the mentors was handing out packets for our parents to fill out if we'd liked to join.…

    4. The result of the assessment has given me the understanding of where I tend to draw my energy from, being introverted I tend to draw energy from my experiences and myself. The biggest factor, for me, in understanding whether I am extroverted or introverted is to have the ability to make adjustment to enable me to become a better leader. I see that I need to be engage more sociably to ensure that I do not project a standoffish attitude toward others. Since my score was an eighteen, I do show some social traits but tend to prefer to be and work alone. This can give others the impression that I am unapproachable and therefore would not lend itself to being a good leader that projects that they are open to all discussions whether it would be positive or negative. I can develop a plan to become more open and engage with others. I have already started this process as I have developed a daily walk around the shop floor engaging others during my walk. This process has given me the opportunity to understand others…
