Scholarship / Leadership skills would take you where you want to reach, Chevening leadership essay [3]
If your actions inspire people to do more, learn more and become more, You are a leader .I believe that to be a leader you don't have to be in Authority, Because actions speak louder than words.
Back in 2014, I was chosen for my leadership skills that I gained by volunteering in Greece to be the outgoing exchange team leader in AIESEC. I set my goals and my entity's to leave the biggest impact we can in our society. I was leading a small team to promote the values of volunteering abroad in developing countries in our society. I was doing my best to optimize their performances and help them reach their true potential by motivating them when they felt down as the results were less than expected and to show them how to finish their tasks properly.
I used to arrange meetings with youth at my age to encourage them to go volunteering for a couple of months in developing countries and their parents to educate them about the impact of volunteering in their kids' lives, and how that would affect their behavior and mindset. And further on help them in the professional field.
I was overwhelmed by the feedback I got from those young guys about how the exchange added to their skills and values by understanding the other. communicating with people from other countries broadened their worldview and helped them to understand the challenges that other countries pass through. Which later on helped them to find solutions for the challenges we pass through in our small town.
Few months later, I volunteered as a dentist with a local NGO that has a mission of travelling to remote underprivileged villages and provide them with essential dental care. I was responsible for leading a group of kids to deliver dental awareness sessions, distribute dental kits to the kids and provide dental treatments with our portable devices.
In 2015 I travelled to Colombia and Brazil to volunteer as an English teacher. My role was assisting the local teachers with preparing the classes and educating students about the culture of the opposite part of the world.
I learned Spanish and Portuguese during that year to be able to reach as many people as possible to have constructive discussions in their language.
In 2016, I started a new role as a cabin crew for an International Airlines. I improved my leadership skills through the training I received at the beginning by knowing how to co-operate with my colleagues to lead all passengers on board in cases of emergency to safety. I was also taking leadership towards medical emergencies that might happen to a passenger on board. And later after becoming senior in my cabin, I was helping junior cabin crew of my cosmopolitan team by explaining their duties and how to be team players while finishing the job. I received many compliments from my colleagues for showing leadership skills on board.
In summary, My choices helped me to improve my leadership skills and leave an impact everywhere I worked. And I'm so sure Chevening would be the perfect bridge to connect my leadership experience to higher professional levels.
