I am auditioning to be an officer because I believe I can make Company a great experience for everyone on it and be a strong leader and representative of Cottonwood Dance. I think that having a strong leader is fundamental to the success of a group. My physics teacher, Ms. Richey, is someone I look up to as a leader; she makes class fun and engages us while still clearly getting the information across. She is also very confident in her abilities and will straight up shut you down (kindly) if you are trying to make up a physics scenario that is not possible. She is so intelligent yet fun that I aspire to be like her when I have to be a leader. I believe I am qualified to be an officer this year because I have had a couple of different...show more content...

Tying into the reliability I mentioned above, I also plan on updating the board inside thedance room each month with new pictures and the upcoming events. I hope that this will act as a way for everyone in the dance program to see what is happening in Company, and I hope that Company members will use it as a way to see where they need to be or what they need to do on any given day that month. Overall, I believe that Company needs to be organized, to work well as a team and get along with one another, and to be able to solve problems effectively. With organization, I think that each day we should have a set schedule as to what we are going to do and for how long; additionally, I think we need to really sit down the class period before a performance and talk about who is bringing what (i.e. makeup or props) so that nothing is forgotten. This will make everything less stressful. As for teamwork and getting along with each other, I think we need to periodically do team building activities throughout the year to strengthen our relationships with each other. To address problem solving as a team, I think we need to have "come to Jesus" circles slightly more often, especially if it has to do with the behavior of Company members. I think it is a good way to really fix the problem without the solutions just going in one ear and out the other. For more one on one problems between members, I think that members should know Get more content

Kids always answer so fast without even thinking about it, they answer I want to be a fireman, teacher, doctor, lawyer, and police officer.

The life of a police officer and becoming one is different than what I thought it would be. Cops have to deal with a lot of different situations that can be anything from just writing a simple ticket to possibly getting shot. Sometimes what other police officers do that are negative get reflected onto the other police officers even though they are not all like that. But being in law enforcement can also be a good thing and can be a rewarding job.

What I knew: What I knew about my topic from the beginning was that it's not easy being a police officer. Being a police officer is actually very stressful and rewarding at the same time.
