Hey guys, I'm a junior, and I've been involved in several extracurricular activities throughout high school. I want to show leadership in these activities, but I'm not sure how. Any tips or advice on how to demonstrate leadership in my extracurriculars? Thanks in advance!
Hello! It's great to hear that you're involved in extracurricular activities and looking to show leadership. As someone who has seen a child go through the college admissions process, I have a few suggestions for you. First, try to take on roles with more responsibility within your activities. This could mean becoming a team captain, club president, or event organizer. Don't be afraid to approach the current leaders and express your interest in taking on a more significant role. Secondly, you can demonstrate leadership by mentoring and helping younger or less experienced members in your activities. Share your knowledge, provide guidance, and be a role model to others. Thirdly, think about organizing and leading community service projects related to your activities. This not only shows leadership but also highlights your commitment to giving back to the community. Lastly, be proactive in identifying areas where improvements can be made within your activities and work with others to implement those changes. Good luck, and I hope these tips help you demonstrate leadership in your extracurriculars!
