Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time.
You could hear it from the top of the hill. My school’s small gym, bursting with cheers and chants. It was the first pep rally of my freshman year. The Athletic Leadership Council had blindfolded 10 students, each one desperately trying to find a chair to sit on, trying not to be the last. After that first pep rally, I knew that I wanted to be a part of this community.
Later, sophomore year, I joined my high schools’ Athletic Leadership Council, where I have taken on the important role of fostering the inclusive community that first made me feel at home at Mayfield. As a representative, I have been responsible for overseeing school pep rallies, selling Christmas trees to raise money for athletics, and making posters for senior recognition nights.
My experience on the Athletic Leadership Council has taught me about the power sports have to unite a community and create a sense of belonging.
