Personal Narrative: Myself As A Section Leader
As a high school freshman, I decided to join the Seaman High School band program. This was fun and allowed me the opprotunity to meet new people. I was not very confident and did not like to play by myself. Getting in front of a small group or the whole class scared me. Turning red and shaking were normal for me everytime I got in front of people who were not close to me. Now that I am a Senior, I have grown quite a bit. In the past four years, I have become more confident. Being a section leader, I had to be able to play by myself to help the younger students with their specific issues. Since section leaders play by themselves during class, I had to learn to overcome my fear, in order to help my section grow. In a job setting, being able to

    People often ask me, “do you play basketball or volleyball? Because you’re really tall.” As a six-foot-tall girl, I find that people are disappointed when I tell them “no, not anymore.” I was always told by coaches and parents that “you have potential,” but basketball, much to my dad’s dismay, was not for me. I found that I had the potential to do something with my life, to be someone bigger than myself. My freshman and sophomore years, I did not want to be involved in my school. Rather I wanted to get in and get out and go to college. But all that changed when I decided I wanted to be a Link Crew Leader, at the time I did not know what it meant to be a link leader, I just knew I wanted to be one.…

    My leadership style is best described as a funnel. My aim in leading others is not to conduct every single individual, but to guide everyone to work towards the same central goal. I believe it is best to let others bring their own unique abilities to the table and use them to accomplish the task at hand. One of my most memorable experiences as a leader was leading my school’s student section. When I came into high school, school spirit was a joke. At games, everyone sat and no one said a thing. I decided that needed to change. My fellow students didn’t want change. They told my friends and I to sit down and shut up. I kept standing, I yelled louder, and kept going. Eventually, I started a spark. By the end of my freshman year there were a group…
