Second Meeting

There are many quotes about leadership in the world. One of my favorite ones is by John Quincy Adams, in which he says, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader” (Adams). This quote is a very reflective of my leadership experiences. There have been many instances where I have been in a leadership position and have inspired others to take up other leadership positions or take over for my leadership position. The first example that comes to mind is from senior year of high school and my track team. I was one of the leaders on the team and the younger guys looked up to me. When I graduated, they all thanked me for all I taught them about how to handle the team and to be effective. I was very happy with that because I knew it meant that I was a successful leader there. 

I think that the E-Portfolio is a very good tool. It can be a big difference factor when applying for a job. It is a very detailed profile all about you and your accolades. It can be a great tool to use in the rest of your life and can organize everything that you have accomplished into one easy place. Some things that I would like to stand out in my E-Portfolio are my resume, my leadership positions, and group projects that I have worked on. I think that that would highlight my strengths. 

I also feel like it is very important for a leader to serve others. By serving others, you help them develop their skills and can hopefully help them become leaders. There is a great need for leaders and by helping other people, you are developing the next group of leaders. 

I am very passionate about many things. Many of those things overlap with my leadership. One of the most important things to me would be to help people reach their full potential. There is a certain feeling I get when I know that someone else is having success because of my help. I think that that is perfect with my leadership qualities.
