Scholarship / Chevening Scholarships: 4 questions essay. Personal statement and Academic Background [8]
Hi, I have edited some of the grammar mistakes,
3. 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 chief of the section I was part of on the marching band of my high school during senior year 2007. It was the biggest challenge a 16-year-old girl could take on. One of my goals was to boost the number of members of that section which I achieved by having 21 girls from different ages join the section. Under my leadership we became a tight unit and came to win second place of the National Marching Bands contest. After high school graduation I focused on my academic achievements and took a step back on leadership, but I had to put these skills back on practice on my current job at a small contract laboratory that is overseen by the U.S headquarters.; luckily it has turned out to be the best learning experience a young scientist could have asked for because of the administrative and science nature of the job.
This job has also helped in developing my communication and networking skills by constant research and business meetings with local and foreign scientists. If I become a Chevening scholar it would be my priority to meet with other alumni in my field to find global solutions that can be applied locally.
