Hi all. I am applying for Chevening scholarship. Please help me to review my essay.
Chevening is looking for individuals who will be future leaders or influencers in their home countries. Explain how you meet this requirement, using clear examples of your own leadership and influencing skills to support your answer.
In my opinion, a good leader must have the ability to be a good communicator,impactful , good motivator and inspirational. Everytime I come to a new place, the most thing I would look for is finding new friends and participating in a community. I believe when I have a good community, I also have good environment which would lead me to create good personalities, build network and strengthen leadership skill. Being a president of religious organization (XXX) in campus in my second year of study was a most memorable thing in my life. It was not easy to be a woman leader which I had to organize people with different characters and grades. Before I was opted as a president, I found that most students only participated in our routine worship and then go home without willing to socialize with other students or members of this organization. It realized me that those students could have been mingled among them and made many better changes for this organization and themselves. Together with my members, we made a new vision which was not only focused on building spiritual life but also developing relationship inside and out of campus. We also expected this organization could help students to improve personalities, skill and knowledge by sharing experience between the students.
To achive this vision, with our approching to students, we directly made small fellowship groups which there students could share and consult with our members. On this groups, they could consult about their personal problem directly. In two months, it got good response and many students came and join with these groups. Finally, student could interact and build relationship among them either in or out of our formal events. As other concern, we also made study discussion group, which also attracted people outside XXX joining with this group. Cooperation was one of the conclusive evidence of this development. At certain times, together with non-member XXX we made social events such as visiting orphanage and food distribution to street people. Since that time, XXX is not only oriented to the members, but also relationship with surrounding.
I was very happy that personal improvement came to each of them. The changes developed their academic, self-confidence, personalities and social skill. I also witnessed some of my junior's characters were changed to be much better. They even get good job and life now. Now, XXX starts enhancing its relationship with students from other universities and conduct certain events.
XXX was like second family for me. Through XXX, I learned and got many things. I learned how to be a leader, how to deal with many people with different character, manage time, share and solve problem. This experience really formed me be person with better personalities and it helped me a lot in my first career. XXX is my first step to start my career.
