Leadership may be defined as a position of power held by an individual in a group, which provides him or her with an opportunity to exercise interpersonal influence on the group. Leadership is the ability to provide direction and motivate others to follow that direction.

Throughout my life I have encountered the chance to experience position of being a leader; I have experience democratic leadership through playing football in high school, basketball and volley ball, and also being part of a family.

While in high school I had the opportunity of been the class coordinator from my junior year to my senior year, I was in charge of making sure teachers come for lectures, and the class room is always clean, and preparing timetable for lectures. I was also privilege to be the social prefect, in that position I coordinated social activities in school such as drama, film show night. I was also the assistant school prefect in my final year in high school, been given the opportunity to control all the affairs in the school. To be a good leader one need to be open to change effective leadership demands that change should be anticipated whether minor or major and respond to these changes properly to all growth to take place.

One of the challenges faced been a leader in my high school was trying to make everybody happy, this was difficult, as a leader some decision you make might not favour everybody but doing the right thing and working with the right people ,great things can be achieved.

Some of the valuable leadership traits I obtained and strengthen are been a good team player, a better listener, to have more patience, to not be afraid of constructive criticism, to be outspoken and to be a problem solver.

I was also the youth chairman in my community, taking up that role was tasking as I was faced with the responsibility of organising youth programmes such as seminars and sport competition once in a year, where every youth in my community is allowed to participate, leading a large number of people is difficult as everyone has different behaviour, motive and views, finding a threshold in decision making and been competent make the difference between a leader and a manager. Being a youth leader in my community helped me to become a better leader because it help me build my patience and been able to tolerate people, I also discovered that been a leader one must be disciplined.

Chevening scholarship offers me a great opportunity for me able to learn more about how I can help the earth and environment by taking masters in sustainability program. And I believe if I can achieve my goal learning about sustainability it will equip me to be able lead and influence the society into positive direction.

Hi Kingsley, you know what, I really didn't realize that this is for the Chevening Scholarship until I finished reading the essay, honestly, it looked and felt like an ordinary essay like that of a personal statement which is an extension of an autobiography.

Now, as you know, the Chevening Scholarship is one of the most sought after and prestigious scholarship, therefore, it needs a very strong and straight forward essay.

I must say, your essay is definitely straight forward, you answered what is asked of the prompt and made it known that you are after a position in this elusive scholarship, however, I have a few suggestions for the last paragraph of the essay.

- Chevening scholarship offers me a great opportunity
- the earth and the environment by taking
- masters in this sustainability program. Andand I believe if I can achievein achieving my goal learning about sustainability, it will equip and lead me to be able lead and influence the society into a positive direction.

There you have it Kingsley, I hope the above remarks and insights strengthened your essay and I hope to review your revision soon.
