Personal Narrative: My Experience At Kid's Clubhouse

Improved Essays
A time that I have ever taken a leadership role was when I was a junior staff at Kid’s Clubhouse when I was 14. We had taken the kids to the Museum of Natural Science in Raleigh, NC because the place we were going to go had been closed down. It was organized chaos and the kids were wanting to run around the place but we had to remember that everyone was suppose to be back at the bus by 3:30 pm. The time went by and and my partner lost track of time so I had to stand up and tell her that we had to go so that we would not get yelled at. I was to see that we had everyone in our group and get everyone on the bus.

While in that time I was so nervous and scared that we would not make it to the bus or I would miscount a kid.Then I realized that I needed to stay calm and make sure that everyone got there safe. So I counted them while we were walking to the bus at least twice to make sure that we weren’t missing anyone. That day I learned that when I talked to myself it helped calm me down when I got stressed and that I just needed to

    My leadership experience began when my supervisor and his colleagues had an important meeting to attend and had no one sitting in on the office for intake office hours, so he asked me and another intern, Isaiah, to sit in from 9 AM-3PM. My supervisor taught us the main component of this position in 10 minutes. At first, I was nervous because I was new to the agency and it was my first time performing front desk duties. But after a couple of clients I began to get more comfortable and confident with the process because I had performed similar duties when I was in my cubicle. At this moment I felt like I was a leader because I was put in a position where I had minimum training, but still could take control of the office duties, and according to my supervisor, my performance level was beyond expectations.…

    My most significant leadership experience would be when I was in the Girls Varsity Tennis Team. I had been in the tennis team during my highschool years, for 2 years. During that time I learned a lot about being a leader, such as what it means to lead others, and what qualities a leader should have. When I first started playing tennis I started at the position on 2nd doubles, to me I took it as that I was not good enough to play against an opponent by myself on the court. Which was entirely true, because when I began playing I was not any good whatsoever.…

    When I was a child, my favorite ride at Disney World was It’s a Small World. Guided along, with the same-titled song playing throughout, I engaged in a magical journey as each turn promised an encounter with a different country, displaying culturally diverse visuals as representative snapshots to its nationality. The unchanging melody met modified lyrics consistent with the dialect of the culture featured. Indeed, from English, to French, to Italian, to Spanish, singing in various languages play in the background. Overall, it illustrated the beauty of culture by recognizing, with distinctions noted, a commonality; we are all human beings.…

    Global citizenship is not something that is simply earned as visa stamps on my passport. To me, it's the mindset that my life should be more than a pursuit of conformity, or worse, comfort. Even though I was raised in a stable home, the kind of home that produces conformed, comfortable people, I've learned that ease and placidity are overrated. It all started in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico on a service trip to build a home. It wasn't the scarcity that I saw that opened my eyes, it was that people entrenched in severe poverty were so joyful.…
