Scholarship / Every moment and stage of my life had been a meaningful journey that led me as a successful leader [3]
Hi, could you please help me to proofread this essay?
Thank you so much:)
My life is special than anyone else that I've known. I personally believe that every moment and stage of my life had been a meaningful journey that led me as a successful leader. Born and grown up in South Korea, I always dreamt of being the difference in the communities that I belong to. Throughout various settings, roles and responsibilities given, I have truly learned and demonstrated the skills of being a leader. Being a teacher, cell group leader and president of church youth groups allowed me to learn more about giving positive impact to the others.
One of the biggest moments that brought me up to be a leader was in the second year as a teacher. Back then, I was an assistant expedition leader of a wide range of nationalities of more than 10 as the school is an international school. When I reached the airport, we were all panicking since our expedition leader could not join us the trip due to her expired visa status. The trip had to carry on and I eventually led the group of 100 students by making sure everything goes smoothly. As a leader, I constantly updated the chat group to ensure the schedule went as it planned and improved teachers' communication and management skills via reflection sessions at the end of each day. Not only the expedition but also hearing from my students on how I, influenced and inspired them to learn and do more allowed me to realise their strong trust upon me. I remember one of the comments that moved me dearly was when the student told me that they began to like the subject after attending my class.
I believe leadership doesn't only apply in the field of professionals but also in a minor society or community that I live in. During the weekends, I serve Korean church community as a bible cell group leader. Currently, my role in the community is to prepare biblical message and activities for an ample sharing session for my group members. This role is not only time-consuming but also serves as a spiritual and emotional guide figure to the members. Once when I was a president of the youth group of around 50 Koreans, our community planned to initiate a voluntary activity whereby we share the food to the homeless in the street aiming to spread the love of God. On top of that, we had planned to organise a flash-mob in front of the shopping mall. At first, the majority of youth group members were not willing to join in. Hence, I contacted them individually and created a mutual timetable where I could check the common time for a preparation session. Eventually, we were able to organise, start preparing the event and ended successfully! I would like to end with a quotation hoping to be a great leader in my country.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, become more, you are a leader.-John Quincy Adams.
