Scholarship / 'The leadership stems from several factors' - LEADERSHIP & INFLUENCE Essay for Chevening [2]

LEADERSHIP & INFLUENCE
Please help me to correct and revise the leadership question below, thanks.

1. Chevening is looking for individuals that will be future leader ...

I always believe that an individual is born a leader. Yet the leadership somehow stems from several factors which depends on a good upbringing, a different surrounding, various professions, and leisure in which people usually follow their interests. Fortunately, I am confident that having all of these factors have trained and recruited me as a problems solver, proving that being a leader as I have grown up is my lifestyle.

My family has always instilled positive attitudes during my childhood and supported me to use talents and skills. When I was sixteen, I went to the USA by participating the American Field Service (AFS) scholarship as an exchange student. During a one year - oversea surrounding, where I battle against homesickness and pressure allowed me to present the leadership through a public speech, and most of high school's activities. In 2002, Switzerland was my second abroad, as the international agricultural students. There were trainees from more than ten countries stayed together and worked in a huge horticultural farm. After I had settled and get used to the farm work, my leadership skills was honed intensively among fellows. I did not only build a trust by hard working, but also a relationship in a free time, leading to better level work outputs. Once a massive crop salad order was arriving, my peers were looking at me for guidance, so I attempted to use this chance to show my intuition by doing a brainstorming to approach a target. Finally, we completed that task on time. It was my pride of being able to inspire my team to reach the same goal though we have had such different backgrounds.

A year before getting a full - time job, I worked as a local guide for a travel agency, taking tourists to Koh - Tao islands for trips. Two months before I quitted this job, the travel company had expected me to provide on the job training for new employees in order to get ready to replaces my position. Developing others caused me to build influence effectively, generating enthusiasm for a hard work and responsibility. It was accomplished that showing my commitment was not only to encourage their job prospects, but also to enhance their productivity.

Although some people prefer to sharpen their leadership skills seriously, I as an activist would sometimes spend my leisure to active this skill. A basketball club at a campus where I work has nominated me as a supervisor which I enjoyed it so much because I have played basketball with students daily. I have played an important role for the campus's basketball team as well as my music appreciation which unexpectedly attract a group of good musical skilled - students. Yet they had no idea how to perform outstandingly. This allowed me to form up an acoustic band, and trained them over and over for the best performance. We were subsequently has been well known and employed for wedding ceremonies, in addition, students also received their proudly worthy income.

Scholarship / Networking, whether formal or informal style, needs to establish cognition... [15]

Hi, moderators and friends,

Please help me correcting my errors for any wrong grammar and collocation. Thank You

Networking, whether formal or informal style, needs to establish cognition on how to communicate and build a relationship with others. I believe that I have trained myself this social ability to connect and link people together in order to produce a stronger association.

The first activity which challenged me to operate networking skill during a junior year at my former university was a volunteer camp to help farmers in a rural territory, held by animal husbandry club. As a club secretary, I had to facilitate the links between the committee, members and outside sponsors to ensure that the camp preparation was still on progress. This role had to be a good communicator, luckily I am personally generous and friendly, and my speaking skill was quite fluent, encouraging me to announce a camp's agenda to members, contact the outside organizations and an authority at the remote area for our arrivals and report the sponsors how we manage their subsidised grant. As a result, the camp was successfully consisted of 100 volunteers, 3 days of an animal production training and livestock house construction. Eventually, this initial networking skill have unconsciously innovated me to socialize people in my recent career.

The most recent networking skill I have associated with people was mainly in research and training. Last year, between May and December 2015, I received a grant from the National Research Council to broaden an international knowledge from my research namely a deep - litter pig production system. My project, was one of projects initiated by His Majesty King, and aimed to be applicable for schools, pig farmers and rural farmers. Firstly, I used my skill by contacting an educational area district office to seek for a school that looking for my topic, informed Chumphon Provincial Farmers Council office to ask for pig farmers group that would like to try a new method, and met a deputy chief executive of the subdistrict administrative organization to open an application for rural farmers whose earnings were estimated lower than the national income. There were totally 100 trainees from those 3 different categories. Throughout the training, I taught these learners the core principles of applied science, sustainable agriculture as well as livestock production by theories and practical disciplines. In August, while my workplace was holding the science fair, my networking school which I have just trained them accepted an invitation and presented their impressive exhibition. My networking school has not only participated in local activities, but also won the first place of the national award for the best practice of sufficient - supplementing program. Moreover, with my guidance, the pig farmers have also achieved a monetary support to extend their environmental - friendly pig production practice which I have planned to invite them as my network for further research and study.

If I become a part of Chievening, I would directly expand a network back in my country with my international association with in UK, especially with an animal welfare principle for more understanding to animals.

Scholarship / Being a contributing factor in improvement of Xcountry society - career plan essay [3]

Studying in the United Kingdom will ultimately fulfill my ambition of being a contributing factor in improvement of Xcountry society for animal protection. Fortunately, I have already worked in an educational institution, as an agricultural officer, a job which involved a great deal of training, particularly to educate people. Thus, whether short term or long term of an estimated career plan, my principle is that animal welfare cognition must be developed by education.

Most children have expressed their innocent kindness to animal, afterwards in lives, is there any ethical existence? What we have experienced that some adolescences made mistakes to hurt animals in any situation. My first-year-immediate plans would be achieved by creating possible events and prior activities. At my campus, there are an Animal Science academic people who are skilled lecturers and students or even other animal lovers at my workplace that willing to volunteer as my networks. To take action, we need a symbol for a movement, so I will establish a club associated with World Animal Protection Xcountry for technical supports and guidance. The first job is managing all huge number of stray pets around the community, give them vaccination against rabies, find new homes, and limit their population. Moreover, I would also introduce a task to help animals in disasters, showing that they have the right to be rescued.

By the second and the third year, I will not only run courses for students to ingrain them that animal welfare is a respect, but will also train teachers to inspire children why we should keep moral and treat animals nicely. For farmer groups, I will train these producers a good practice from farms to forks such as cage -free farming and humane slaughter for instance, according to an increase of animal farming for food each year. These courses I have mentioned are collocated with my study as a research to be academically relevant for all subjects. To be ready for my longer term of career, I will propose and study a topic related to climate change and other human activities that have an impact on the animal welfare and behaviour, since it has been a global issue which I have gained from the United Kingdom.

Although, the United Kingdom government has no direct animal welfare policy with Xcountry, in 2014, Xcountry has introduced its first animal welfare law and seemed to be desirable afterward. Yet, there have been many controversial arguments for the plight of wild animals such as tigers and elephants. British news and tourists claiming in various media how they feel so frustrated by Xcountry when they saw wildlife in chains for entertainment purposes. So my five-year-rewarding career plan is to study and research about wildlife and conservation, being a part to reveal unacceptable cruelty associated with the British charities like Animal Welfare Party and Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This change in wildlife welfare framework is the most challenging myself and will prepare me well for a PhD study.

Graduate / Hope this would be a fine three courses questions response for the UK study ;-) [3]

In facts, the United Kingdom was the first country in the world to implement laws protecting animals since 1822; this means that I have been on the right path to study where it has a strong emphasis on my interests. I have therefore chosen three university courses from my priority:

Firstly, The Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare at New Castle University, has interesting and compatible modules which would demonstrate the key concepts from legal and ethical frameworks for people working with animals, an animal welfare science such as relationships between animals and people, and interpretation and evaluation of research related to animal behaviour and welfare. These would broaden my experience, with professional staff's specialties including an international reputation for their research into improving knowledge and skills, in addition, facilities like farms and modern laboratories are available. The course is also validated by the association for the study of animal behaviour with around 1,000 members. Moreover, I would have an opportunity to take advantage of a networking by a work experience within the course. Overall, this programme is designed to meet my future plan.

Secondly, The Applied Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare at The University of Edinburgh, the first animal welfare MSc in the UK was established here. This course has popular International reputation and is supported by international institutions, so I will meet many academics and experts for the larger networking within the professional community. The course will synthesize sources to help students understand the issues better, including guest lecturers, visits to zoo and labs. I am confident this can be applied for my further research, training, and study.

Thirdly, The Animal Health and Welfare at Nottingham Trent University, is my last preference, but not least important, because this course has difference in contexts that relate to the application of health and welfare science for the use of animals in society. The course consists of a variety of assessment methods, such as case studies, student-led seminars, literature reviews and presentations, allowing me to demonstrate understanding, skills and the ability to communicate in a scientific style.

The three courses' profiles above have related to my previous academic background due to my bachelor degree in Animal Production Technology which was mostly studied on farm animals. Nevertheless, there was no subject related to animal behaviour and welfare at all. So I have considered my qualification and research skills were quite limited factors to approach my goal for this complex issue. As an agricultural officer, during ten years, I have Studied and trained people a sustainable animal farming which were likely to keep animal well-being itself. My vision is already ahead to establish a social framework for the better knowledge relating to animal welfare and their behavour which contributes to develop my skills. That is why I look forward to striving for a higher education overseas by applying the Chevening scholarship. This international opportunity alongside with the outstanding course in the UK, I would be more capable to address local controversial animal rights issues.

Scholarship / My last - the reintroduced leadership answer essay. I always strive to improve more. [8]

Most people here get used to this question, This is my second post on this topic, hoping that it is getting more efficient.

I am confident that persisting a keen and enthusiastic behavior for hard working have trained and recruited me as a problems solver, proving that being a leader as I have grown up is my lifestyle.

In 2002, I went to Switzerland as the international agricultural students. There were trainees from more than ten countries stayed and worked together in a huge horticultural farm. After I had settled and get used to a new environment, my leadership skills was honed intensively among fellows. I did not only build a trust by hard working, but also a better relationship to be a good listener, to have more patience, to decrease personal ego, and to be a co - worker. Once a massive salad order was arriving, my peers were looking for a leader for guidance, so I attempted to use this chance to show my intuition by doing a brainstorming to approach a target. Finally, we completed that task on time. It was my pride of being able to inspire my team to reach the same goal though we have had such different backgrounds. This primary experience brought me a bold attempt to take risks which is ever ready for any situation.

During a ten-year-work as an agricultural officer, my leadership has played a vital role in diverse educational events. Rural development for farmers and students was my obvious masterpiece, because it consisted of various skills and techniques inside. Whenever I ran courses for a large number of people in local communities, I always asked students at my campus for volunteering work to challenge such a great experience. To train these volunteers, I had to use as much as communication to generate enthusiasm for a hard work and responsibility for them. At a preparation for an upcoming event, I had formally explained work procedure into each student's role, informing them that every single position is highly important and must have a positive outlook.

As a leader at the training, I showed my confidence on teaching and managing people to my volunteers to instill energy among my staff. But if something went wrong, my commitment was not only allowed my student to take action immediately, but also worked alongside everyone else. By this, I could observe the respect of my followers as a fair leader, in addition, everyone seemed to sacrifice oneself to deliver the peak amount of quality work shortly afterwards.

What a wonderful outcome, lately at a graduation rehearsal day, I met most of my former volunteers who have already been leaders themselves at companies. The leadership by learning has been passed on from generation to generation. It was accomplished that showing my inspiration and motivation could encourage their job prospects and enhance their productivity.

In conclusion, good skilled leaders would certainly have an impact on human resource, result in a quality of life and more professional workforce. Chevening scholarship's opportunity will be my precursor to ensure that I must not settle to what I always strive to improve more.
