LEADERSHIP

List elected, appointed, or earned leadership positions held in school, community, or work activities. We are looking for examples where you were responsible for organizing people toward a common goal. Some good examples of leadership would be serving as a team project organizer for scouts, church, or a school activity, or serving as a camp counselor or active captain of a team. Some not-so-useful examples of leadership would be babysitting, individual projects for scouts, church, or a school activity. Please reflect only on the period of time in which you have been in high school. We are interested in hearing about all of your leadership experiences but it is not necessary to complete each blank below.

These should be any activities in which you participated for the betterment of others, not activities or teams for which you were a member. Some good examples of service include volunteering in most any capacity, tutoring other students, working to help those less fortunate, visiting nursing homes, or "giving back" in some way to an organization. Some not-so-good examples of service would include any work you did for hire, regular household chores, babysitting, participation on a team, and self-serving projects. Please reflect only on the period of time in which you have been in high school. We are interested in hearing about all of your service activities but it is not necessary to complete each blank below.
