The leader in me

Leadership observed

Teacher and leaders are very similar by the things thats they do. They are similar because of the type of roll models they have to be. They have to show that they can stay calm and be professional and not over react about things. Ms. Keany is a good example of this. Her classes sometimes get out of control but she is always professional, stay calm, and gets them back on task. Mr. Falcon also does this to. He may get a little mean but he dos it out of love because he wants you to learn and be successful.

My leadership in action

I will not let my actions define me. I will stay calm in rough situations and try my best to work hard on being a better leader then I was before. I will be a better leader in Rawkin Hawks, since I am the only returned from last year I have to step up and help our captions with what needs to be one if they don't know what to do about something. I will also step up as being caption of the varsity bowling team. I can't let my own feelings get in the way. I have to stay calm when something doesn't go my way and I have to lift up other people or if they are down about there score or down because we lost our matches.

Big Plans

1. I will be graduating in 2018.
2. I don't know what set job I want yet. I have been talking to a few colleges about being a professional bowler but I also want to do teaching to.
3. I want to go to Baker University in Kansas. I want to go for 4 years and get my education degree and also, hopefully, get signed by a company to become a professional bowler when I am done with college and depending on how long they sign me for, I may or may not go to teaching when I am done.
4. I would like to sign with Storm bowling company. They are on of the best and I would love to be a professional bowler sponsored by them.
5. I have been bowling for 6 years now and it is one of the best things that have ever happened to me. I have been chasing my dream of being a professional bowler for 4 years now and I have so many dreams for it. I would also love to do teaching because I love working with kids and watching them grow but I don't think I would want to do it forever.
