Scholarship / Leadership and Influence Question [NEW]

Adaptable means being able to handle change in the life. It is an important strength that allows an individual to become successful. Success is not something people get lucky with; in reality, you work hard to get yourself out of that comfort zone and you put yourself out in the open for change. I challenge myself every day to shatter the comfort zone that deflects me from the path of success. As I exercise this challenge, I respond engagingly towards change by embracing my surroundings.

My work experience has taught me one thing: that I work best when given the independence to develop my own ideas. This translates to me being a leader that expects everyone is as driven as myself and has high expectations of my peers, what other people define as a pace setter.

My first leadership experience came from being named the coach of the team I was part of on the basketball band of my college during senior year 2009. It was the biggest challenge a 20-year-old boy could take on. One of my goals was to boost the number of members of that team which I achieved by having 12 boys from different ages join the team. Under my leadership we became a tight unit and came to win second place of the championship. After college graduation, I focused on my work achievements and took a step back on leadership, but I had to put these skills back on practice on my current job at a large power station and petrochemical industrial company.

I believe Chevening scholarship is the answer for upcoming young leader like me that hoping to meet with other great leaders from all over the world.
