I am writing you today because I would love to go to the HOBY leadership conference. Hopefully in this paper I can inform you on why I want to go, what I hope to learn, and how I will use the skills that I am taught. My first point of interest is why I want to go. I would like to go because I believe that I have potential to be a great leader in the school and community. With the help of this conference I can start to fully develop my potential. As I said before the second point that I want to dress is what I would like to learn. While at this conference I would like to get more comfortable talking to people. I feel that this is one of the main hindrances for me and my career as a leader. I struggle going up to someone I've never met before and asking about them and investing in them. In my opinion this is a very important qualification for a leader. Another thing that I would like to improve is confidence. I think that this is tied to my inability to be a good communicator. When I'm confident I talk to...show more content...
Right now I would use it in my school and work life. At school you can be a leader in so many different areas. I am involved in a lot of these such as band where I could potentially be a section leader.

Even if I am not selected for this opportunity I hope that I can improve my communication and confidence. I want to thank you for your time and

I believe that I have strong leadership abilities. I am motivated, passionate, and a visionary. Throughout my life I feel I will make a difference in the world and inspire others to do the same so that my time spent alive is impactful and revolutionary; however, all of my hopes and dreams for leadership in my life now and in the future are put into question without structure to my leadership. I lack structure in my leadership and I feel like this opportunity would be a great chance to add structure and guidance to my leadership skills and character. The chance to be part of this leadership program would help me to become the leader I see that I will be and allow me to leave my impact on this community and the world.

Leadership is about promoting the ideas of others, allowing them to fully utilize their talents, and while doing so, inspiring them and leaving their followers with a sense of accomplishment and community. Inspiring others towards a common goal and focusing on driving a group of people and community towards improving their quality of life and others is fueled by leadership. The idea of a group of people or community coming together for the good of others, and the community, as a whole is civic engagement. It is also a form of leadership and good leaders try to motivate their followers to achieve active roles in their communities through civic engagement. This act of leadership leaves followers with a sense of accomplishment and community and also help to promote a new generation of leaders who are civically engaged and who challenge each other to make the world a better Get
