I don't really know how to build around this story to bring out the desired effect. I have also held the position of the head lab prefect in my high school and would like to write about that but I didn't really do much to make any significant change..below is the prompt for the essay
Q:"we want to know how you demonstrate your potential for leadership and your ability to give back to your community. tell us about any positions of leadership or responsibility you have undertaken in the last five years . please include details of the position you held and what you did individually to make a change"
In my fourth year in high school I joined the JETS club (Junior Engineers, Technicians and scientists club), a club focused on developing the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills of students in the science class. JETS club really helped stabilize my grades and so when I was made the chairman of the academic team in my fifth year I vowed to do much more for upcoming young members.
As the academic team chairman I was responsible for organizing tutorial classes in the basic science subjects. I collected the scheme of work for each subjects from respective head teachers and then drafted out a teaching plan for the tutorials.
I however found out that the turnout of female students was low; I found this really disturbing and sought to address this issue before the end of my tenure. I had a talk with the patron of the club and invited him to have a talk with the female science students. I also started organizing quizzes between male and female members of the club and giving away prizes to the winners. This went a long way in heightening their interest in club activities. The female students developed a competitive spirit; they became bent on beating the boys in the quizzes so they devoted more time to the tutorial classes.
At the end of my tenure, the number of female participants in club activities increased considerably, their participation in club activities also improved their grades in the science courses.
