Volunteering weekly at a tutoring center for less fortunate children has helped me to fully understand the importance of these characteristics. Putting others needs before your own can be a challenge. In many cases when tutoring a student I find myself getting frustrated when reexplaining a concept a million times or when the student is distracted with other things. Through practice of patience I am able to find ways around the many obstacles my job brings. This year being on Student Council for the first time has truly opened my eyes to the importance of leadership. Being a leader is not only being in charge, but being an good example for others. Putting myself out there and running for class officer took a lot of inner strength. I felt that I was an example to others showing them that sometimes things aren't easy, but if you are willing to take a risk and put in the work you can get where you want to go. I believe being part of the NHS Program will build up my confidence and help me be the true leader I know I can
