Personal Narrative: My Leadership In High School

Being the oldest child of five children shaped me to be a leader at a young age. I carried loads of responsibilities on my shoulders. From helping my siblings get dressed to keeping them calm when babysitting, early as the age of eight. I kept in mind that my actions were going to be looked upon, always. It was not until I entered middle school that I realized how some classmates were not used to taking initiative. My classmates were reluctant to participate in our group projects, afraid of failure, and not willing to take risks. So I took control of group projects, always. I entered high school and my perception of leadership changed. Now, I was in control of not one but two clubs: French and Bible. Organizing fairs and service projects for both clubs for them to be ranked as high as possible on the school website was going to be challenging. I knew that my level of patience was going to have to be high, always.
My father works three hundred and sixty five days a year and of course these included holidays. I knew as my senior year approached it was going to be expensive from the information upperclassmen gave to me. I did not want my father to stress himself more I knew I had to do something about it. I got a job accepting the challenge of juggling AP’s, a zero period, and clubs; however I took the job because it was the best thing to do in my situation. The obstacles I have come to face in my lifetime have taught me to be a leader and make the best decisions,
