The basic definition of leadership according to Oxford Dictionaries is the action of leading a group of people or an organization In my mind leadership means not only leading others but knowing how to lead yourself I believe my greatest strength is being able to deal with adversity Anything from dealing with drama at school to helping in a third world country I feel I can use good judgment and leadership skills to help resolve the issue Over the past few years as a passionate open minded and gritty being I have had learned from and endured many experiences of leadership through myself and others Through middle school and high school I have done extensive volunteering around the world and in the community I have done three mission trips out of the country and help in the community in my free time My last two life changing service trips have been through Global Leadership Adventures which is a volunteer organization for specifically high school students
