Being A Leader

A leader is anyone who leads or directs a team to help accomplish a certain goal. In my personal opinion, I  feel that there are a few qualities someone must have in order to be considered a good leader. A leader must be trustworthy, honest, and committed to the task or group at hand. A leader must also have good communication skills, and be willing to treat everyone who's on the team in a fair manner. An example of a leader in my personal life would be my manager at my job. I work at Togos, the sandwich shop in with Baskin Robins, and I am fortunate enough to have a manager with great leadership qualities. My manager has exercised extreme patience with me and the other trainees as we have learned the ropes. She has also treated all of us equally and avoided choosing favorites. I very much admire her patience, passion, and determination to help all of us on the Togo’s team.

When colleges are looking for a prospective student, there are certain qualities they look for in the student to make sure their school is the right fit for them. I think colleges look for dedicated students, because dedicated students are the ones who will succeed. They may also look for someone who is organized. Colleges may look for someone who has been involved with school activities, because this shows that the person has experience working with all types of people and enjoys being involved. Lastly, they may look for someone who has a goal in mind, because it shows that the student has something they are working for, and therefore will be less likely to give up on their education.
