Leaders Affect Everything by Deric - March 2015 Scholarship Essay
I believe that leadership skills are very important in all aspects of life and that translates into achieving an education. Not everybody is a born leader but everybody needs to work to possess the qualities that born leaders have. You never know when it may be necessary to have those qualities and you need to step up and be a leader, not just for you but also for your peers. In order for you to take control of your own life and your own work you need to be a leader for yourself. Everybody needs leadership qualities and need to know when to take control for the good of everybody around them.
I always struggled with being a leader because I struggled with weight issues and my self-esteem. Since then I have made many changes in my life and I have taken control of my weight, my self-esteem, and my own life. Now when I am asked to be in groups or am with others I often take control to make sure that the job not just gets done, but gets the job done right.
I truly do think it is important for college students to possess qualities of a leader. You need to not only be able to help lead others when asked to do so but when nobody is watching and you have many decisions, you need to lead your own life and put in the extra study time and do the work needed. That is what I plan to do at Purdue University and that is why I’ll succeed in my college career and my professional career after.
