Personal Statement
I have learned to make a difference in my community by being a servant leader. My path to becoming an Eagle Scout provided many service opportunities. I want to be a person who makes a positive impact in my community by leading through example. I am a member of the Presidential Leadership Class, which allows me to connect with new people and make a difference on my campus. I am a part of Rose State’s Civil Honors program, which has provided me the opportunity to serve at a nonprofit called Sharing Tree. This organization helps those who need clothes, food, and household goods. I am active on campus and am also a student-athlete. I study hard and strive to succeed in every class. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa. Being associated with these organizations and groups has allowed me to explore the real meaning of being a servant leader. People need to have strong leadership qualities, be devoted to their commitments, and be willing to serve their community and campus. Becoming a servant leader is an intrinsic quality that has made me who I am today. I am honored to be nominated as a Newman Civic Fellow.
