Leadership application

azalea is a sharp reviewer i see!

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."

regarding the thought about peers - this simply serves to show that you are aware of your reputation (which a leader does need to be aware of - it shows professionalism) and also that others respect you. it also hints at a certain level of ...
what is the word.

i forget what the word is.
[word synonymous with honour, respect, command, authority].

think that people reviewing your application are unlikely to doubt the honesty of your words, provided you are actually honest. feel free to say that people respect and know and like you.
