Leadership Experience
Hello there-
This is an admission essay aiming to show the applicant’s leadership.
Original detailed description of the essay is provided below:
Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.
Things to consider: A leadership role can mean more than just a title. It can mean being a mentor to others, acting as the person in charge of a specific task, or a taking lead role in organizing an event or project. Think about your accomplishments and what you learned from the experience. What were your responsibilities?
Did you lead a team? How did your experience change your perspective on leading others? Did you help to resolve an important dispute at your school, church in your community or an organization? And your leadership role doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to school activities. For example, do you help out or take care of your family?
Here is the example I want you to write about:
The parents of the applicant are both firefighters, whose knowledge influenced the applicant since young. After learning that the people in the community, especially kids, are lack of knowledge in preventing careless fires, the applicant (“I”) set up a club in high school and gathered more students of the same interest to share the knowledge in the community by holding events and lectures. At last, the result turned out great, more and more people started to pay attention on firefighting, and him as the founder of the club shows leadership in the community.
Some requirements I want you to talk about in the essay:
– the story provided is not detailed, please fill in the details and make it a fluent, consistent, high-quality story.
– please avoid directly praises of leadership in the essay, our aim is to show it, not to tell it.
– please add minor difficulties to the progress of founding the club and holding the event, so that the story is closer to reality.
– I would highly recommend writing the story from details to broader view, or in other words, do not follow chronological order and start the essay from the event and then talk about how all these things happen and at last talk about the outcome.
– in the conclusion part of the essay, please show some thoughts and opinions of the applicant, like how he likes the outcome and how he thinks this is going to affect the community in the good way.
– word limit is about 300 words
– enclosed file is the applicant’s personal statement and his essay based on his diverse background, may be helpful to you.
– thank you for your effort.
