Leadership application

good start kigaz, i see you have been thinking a lot about what your strengths and weaknesses are, and also what leadership means.

there's a lot of ways you can write a leadership application and what works for one person might not work for someone else. usually what school leaders and reviewers reading your application are looking for is evidence that you have good management and organisational skills, and will also keep your reputation around school in mind (i can't tell if you are actually applying for a leadership position or if this is just a class essay?)

you could also try putting in some brief, clear sentences about some of the following:
- a specific event that you helped to succeed, eg "I was an organiser for my sister's surprise birthday party which required managing 50 people without letting her know, and booking and paying for a venue."
- what in your chosen career reflects a leadership attribute in you, eg "medicine on acute wards. Human injury and health is complex. Provided I have the knowledge, I am able to quickly analyse a situation and immediately see what is the most important thing that needs to be done. This is a quality in an effective leader."
- what your peers think of you. "I am well known around the school for being amiable and approachable. I am acquainted with students from a variety of year levels."

is that the sort of thing you are looking for?

some people might comment that a lot of what you have written is "unnecessary." this is just a way of saying that there are important strands in your thoughts that you still need to tease out.

we never had a leadership class in our school - or maybe i just missed out!

Thanks and I appreciate your reply. The essay isn't for an actual position (like, in a job) but just to be in the class. There really isn't any "leadership" in leadership. Theres no real management needed (as you suggested in your 1st example). I dont really think I have any "attributes" that would suggest one of my careers, what I mean by that is that I don't really think I have any outgoing skills that would point me in the direction of a career. I really just want to help people. My peers suggest I do something in politics. I don't really want to bring my peers into this, I dont want to come off as if im self-centered.

I'm thinking of an ending sentence like this..
"Skills such as these are ones that should be learned early in life, and skills such as these are the ones most vital to me."
