...The term captain is synonymous with the term leader. By definition, a leader is someone who is in an advanced position to take the initiative in order to go forth and show the way. Few will have the opportunity to feel the weight of the responsibilities and the happiness of knowing you're making a difference. Being a leader of any type of organization in my eyes is a huge job. It’s teaching respect by showing respect. It’s one thing to be a good dancer, but it's another to be a good captain. A captain must have dedication to the team and patience for when others need help and I believe I have these qualities. The captain should also have goals set in mind for the team to improve and my goals I have set for the Bellevedettes are as follows: become more of a team, become better role models for our school and just help them become the best dancers they can be so at state competition they can feel like they are the best dancers that they can be. Dance teams are all about unity. The dancers need to learn and understand that we should be moving as one. There are no individual standouts. There should not be any of the "I can't do this so I'm going to do it my way" excuses. If the dancer feels like she could not do a move I will be there to help them. It’s helping girls, including myself, strive and push themselves to be the best dancers I know we all can be. Having this title doesn’t mean being the boss of everyone, being in the front in every dance, or ...

...Leadership is a quality that I pride myself in having. In my life, there are many opportunities for me to express that leadership. I am involved in a number of leadership organizations within my school. I participate in Drama Club, Student Council, KAY Club, Earth Care Club, and my school’s show choir. I am also the Boys Basketball Manager and the Track Manager. By just being involved in such organizations I have taken on a leadership role, but within those organizations there are even bigger leadership roles one could play. For example, I am the dance captain and treasurer for drama club and the second soprano section leader for my show choir group. This is only my second year in drama club and in show choir, but I can say that I have worked...

...involved in everything from softball to dance to leadership organizations, I naturally learned to multi-task. In a way I consider time-management and organization two of my biggest strengthens. These two traits have been essential to my development and have allowed me to successfully participate in many activities throughout these four years of high school. Since I was a little girl, I always had a passion for dancing. I began dancing at age three at family gatherings, and have continued ever since then. It was not only something I enjoyed but an art I wanted to perfect. I even performed at national competitions. For three years of my life, I attend a dance studio, six days a week, constantly learning new techniques and preparing for competitions. My routine consisted of: slamming the alarm clock at 6:00 am, school all day, home for lunch, practice until all my pirouettes and leaps caused my feet to ache, hours of homework, and went to bed exhausted to repeat it all the following day. Throughout this routine I...

...Being a leader to me, as said by Pericles, “ What you leave behind is not what is engraved on stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” Although highly introverted, I have been trusted with positions to lead by those who rank higher than me or voted for by the people. Roles such as being captain of a team or holding an office position have shaped me into the person I am today by helping me learn how to build important relationships as well as how to become a motivator and a better speaker. For the past 6 years, I have lead a color guard team full of young, creative minds and have successfully encouraged them into who I know they could be and who they have been aching to be. These girls would come to me if they needed...

...The group that I have chosen to identify with is the F&M Dance Company. The company is comprised of over fifty dancers and is supervised by three authoritative professors. Each fall, new choreographers are recruited by the company to teach their choreographies, or reconstruction works of other choreographers, for the Fall Dance Concert. Each spring, the students have the opportunity to choreograph a piece for the Spring Dance Concert. These student choreographed pieces are then either presented in the concert, which is what most choreographer strive for, or in the show case, which is only held on a Sunday. Due to this either/or situation, the choreographers contend with each other to secure a spot in the concert, therefore galvanizing competition,...

...Throughout my three years of high school, I can confidently say that the single person who made the most effective impact on me has been my Marketing teacher, Mrs. Dellis. Passionate is an understatement when it comes to her teaching style. Not to mention, her positivity during the school year inspires me to carry her uplifting characteristics everyday. Identically, my goal this year is to make an everlasting impression on my fellow classmates similar to the one she has built for me. Furthermore, something so short-lived can go so far, such as a smile in the hallway to an old friend, or a simple compliment. Happiness is what I want my classmates to think of when they hear my name. Additionally, being humble is so crucial when it comes to our...

...Sometimes as well not sharing the negative things going around in your surrounding has a bigger impact than when books are burned. This might be because you are not helping for this to be heard by others and help it to be stopped. Censorship does come to play in this poem in how there are people like the people who are in control on power in our society, this is represented in the symbolism Stafford uses about “the terrorized countryside where wild dogs own anything that moves.” Lastly, the personification in “ignorance can dance in the absence of fire” is still following up on how not sharing ideas causes for ignorance to make fun of the fear people might have in...

...| | | | | | | | Organization: Cheshire Home, Quatre Bornes Section A Leonard Cheshire Disability was founded by the late Group Captain Lord Cheshire of Woodhall in 1948. By then a famous war hero, at the beginning of that year he was living alone in an isolated mansion in Hampshire winding up a community project for ex servicemen and women which he had started at the end of the war. Discovering that one of the former members of the community was terminally ill and had nowhere to go, he offered to care for him in his own home. To his surprise, he found others in need coming to him for help and so started what was to become a worldwide organization developing services for disabled people. After the world war he drafted the community because of the situation. Then came the idea of those homes to help the disables. 50 years ago in April 1955 when the Mother Queen opened the 1st official building of the Leonard Cheshire Foundation. The philanthropic enterprise of Group Captain Leonard Cheshire which started in 1948 in England has grown to some 200 Homes around the world in addition to those in the United Kingdom. Sir Seewoosagur was the President of the Board of Trustees of the Cheshire Home until he became Governor-General in 1983. Here is the organizational chart of the Chirshe Home which shows us the keys persons in the organization: Section B The goals of the organization are mainly: To help the elderly as the home specializes to help the old...

...business leader. Human Resource Management is an area of the industry that is ever-increasing in importance: and is one of the reasons why I am interested in not only studying a degree but also pursuing it as a career. My acceptance on to the National Citizenship Service programme in sixth form enabled me to gain an immense array of skills and experience. As part of this experience we had to complete a residential training session which allowed me to develop team building and leadership skills, working with people I hadn`t met before. The second part of our programme was to organise and carry out a charity fund raiser for Alder Hey Children`s Hospital. This entailed planning and organising an entire Christmas Fete. As team leader it was my role to ensure all elements ran smoothly, from the implementation of both college and local business stalls, booking of the venues, refreshments and most importantly monitoring my different teams. What I learnt most from this was the importance of planning, being part of a team and working in a professional and courteous manner at all times. Currently alongside my studies I work at a local retail store which involves interacting with customers, stock rotation, handling payments, receiving and sorting stock, displays and the daily running of the shop. Being a store which is part of a large chain has not only given me first-hand experience as an employee but allowed me to observe the complexity and dedication needed in today`s current market to...

...From the landing of the dilapidated iron staircase, Gerald, peered through the pall of cigarette smoke into the noisy nightclub. Enviously he watched, as the girl in the pink spotlight captivated the audience with her song. In the business of show business, the girl was Goldie, but to Gerald, she would always be Marigold, her given name. He had long since dismissed the diminutive, as suitable only for a chorus girl. Gerald and Marigold, from their childhood, had been part of a musical comedy show, and afterwards she had remained his friend, his only true friend, and had stuck by him even though he was unable to find, what he called, quality work. Goldie’s ability to sing and dance was obvious, even in a tawdry place like the Cellar Club, and she was what most red blooded men called a looker. Tonight, Saturday, was to be Goldie’s final appearance at the club; the owner had engaged her to fill in for his regular vocalist. Whom, it was noised about the club with some scepticism, had gone to the country to nurse a sick mother. The singer was scheduled to perform the next evening, Goldie’s stint at the club was subsequently terminated. Dragging his gaze back from the bandstand, Gerald carefully negotiated the iron staircase to descend into the...

...Paul Bass D . EID: pdb586 Writing Assignment Final Draft Due Date: Mar 5, 2014 by 12am Housewife vs. Courtesan in India In the early 20th century, life as a woman in Indianociety S (and in the rest of the world at the time) was not glamorous. The common consensus was that a woman’s natural place was to be within the domicile and that women held less power than men, despite all their contributions to the family. “In the average Indian family the strictest domestic economy is the rule of life, and the household work is done by the women of the household” (Temple 64). It was a woman’s job to keep the household in order, raise the children, and keep her husband satisfied. “vulnerable in a maledominated world”, marriage was considered an impending fate for women as India’s workforce was primarily male dominated omen , w were dependent on men for financial support (Nijhawan 103). Getting married was also a must for women and was seen as the only ‘respectable’ course of action in a womans life. Widows in Indian society were treated poorly and had a low social standing, even though they had followed all respectable social norms “How much the women dread widowhood is exhibited to the full in the fact that to call a woman a widow is to offer her a dire insult” (Temple 65). The courtesans of the time seemed to live outside of these sociocultural norms. Analysis of ...

...Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum When I think of musical comedy, Stephen Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is the first show that comes to mind. Just three years ago, I had never heard of Forum before, until my high school choir director announced that it would be our 2008 musical. I was hesitant to audition at first, not knowing the plot or what I was getting myself into, but now I can honestly say that it was my favorite musical production ever to be a part of. Forum, a musical farce written in two acts and Sondheim’s first work on Broadway both as composer and lyricist, is “a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom” (MTI 1). In Sondheim’s own words, “there’s not a wasted moment in Forum, and the truth and the test of it is that the play is just as funny when performed by a group of high school students as it is when it is performed on Broadway. It is never not funny. The reason is, it is based on situations so solid that you cannot not laugh” (Gordon 25). A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a collaboration between American librettist Burt Shevelove, playwright Larry Gelbart, and musical theater extraordinaire, Stephen Sondheim. Originally, Shevelove had done a version of a Roman comedy in college and thought that a professional Broadway production would be very...
