What Kind of Leader Are You?

 

The type of leader that I was given after taking the quiz was, "results-driven leader."

In the blurb after taking the quiz and getting the results, it says that I am all about getting the job done. this is something that I agree with because I am someone that likes to get things done in an orderly manner. I do not really like to sit behind and wait to get things done. i prefer to get them done as soon as I can. It also says that i am focused, confident, and keep the end goal in mind. I would say that I am a focused person, but I do tend to honestly get distracted easily. Once I do notice that I am distracted I do act firm with myself so that I can get back on track to what I was doing in order to get it accomplished. As for confidence I do think that I have a lot of confidence but it often does not show since I do tend to undermine myself sometimes. But if I really do believe in something I will be as confident as I can till the very end. And I am someone that keeps the end goal in mind since I believe that, that is the only way to efficiently get something done is ig you keep thinking about it in your mind in order to get it done and accomplished. 

The three things that it says that I could improve on which feel really targeted is:

Compassion: Listen to the concerns of your group members, teammates, coworkers, and friends, If you see someone struggling, lend a supportive hand. 

I do not agree with the compassion one at all. Being compassionate is one of my entire personalities that I have. This is something that my parents have taught me at a young age and something that I have been practicing for most of my life. Till this day, if I see someone that is struggling I always go above my way to make sure that I can help them or make them feel better. And in a group i always make sure to here what others have to say and listen to their concerns is they have any and work on ways to solve that concern and talk about it.

Encouragement: Notice and reward others for their efforts and accomplishments, Value what each person brings to the table.

This is also something that I always do. When in a group setting and environment I always make sure to encourage those around me to make them feel better. At DECA states one of the people in my group which I was team captain of was crying and upset that they did not do good on their presentations. Seeing that I talked to them to make them feel better. Within a few minutes she was already feeling better and as a little treat I bought her ice cream and a few snacks from the cafe in the hotel to cheer her up a bit more.

Connection: create opportunities for your teammates to get to know each other. The more comfortable they feel with each other, the more motivated they will be to get the job done.

Now you see, this is one that I have a hard time with I will say. I can connect with people very easily. I get along with most people and nearly everyone that I meet. But I will never be the first person to approach them or make that connection. I usually have to rely on someone else to do it for me and then I will feel comfortable enough and my true colors and personality will really come out. Being the one to make the moves when making new connections is something that I definitely need to work on. 

I’ve come to realize that I really need to work on standing up for what I believe in, and honestly, it's a bit of a struggle for me. There was this one time when a group of friends was joking around about climate change, treating it like some distant joke rather than a serious issue. I just sat there listenin g to everything that they had to say even though i did want to jump in and share my opinion since climate change and the environment is something that I care deeply about.  the rest of the day I felt really heavy like I’d let myself down by not speaking up. It’s like this little voice inside me keeps saying that I need to use my voice, especially when something feels wrong. I don’t want to carry this weight of regret anymore. I want to be the person who isn’t afraid to say what I believe in, even if it means standing against the crowd. It’s just tough sometimes, because what if they don’t agree, or worse, what if they laugh? But deep down, I know I can’t keep letting my silence drown out what I really care about.

Who am I!

     Hi my name is Elina Baig and I am a Junior for this school year! This will be my second year as a class officer. Last year was my first year as the Corresponding Secretary. But this year I am the Recording Secretary.      This year I was really excited for a school year, but then slowly as the first day of school came to a pass I realized how much I am in fact not looking forward to this school year for only certain reasons.     Once the first week had passed I realized how much this school year was going to drain me. In the first week I already had fifteen assignments to do. It's been only six days and let me tell you I am already drained.     Though, this year might be on kind of the opposite end of excitement I will go to say that overall I am somewhat really excited for this school year. I am really excited for all the projects and things that we will be doing in SGA along with class projects. One thing that I am really looking ...

Winter Spirit Week

 Okay so long story short this week was Winter Spirit Week. But also in a way it was quite literally the work week of my life. Monday 12/9:  Winter Gear Okay so for Monday I simply just did not go to school. I can justify this action by saying that I was sick. Because I was sick I was quite literally fighting for my life. I am the one person with the worst luck on the entire planet. And each time it is winter time I get extremely sick due to the weather change and that was quite evident on Monday and my mother quite literally told me, "stay ur a** at home" and so that  is what I did because I am a good daughter and I listen to my mother because according to that one song in Tangles (aka the best Disney princess movie ever) "Mother Knows Best." Even though that can be heavily questioned due to the fact that I think I am more right then she is sometimes. I will not be saying that to her face though because she scares the crap out of me when she gets angry, and I can n...

Hoco Week 2024

 Homecoming Week is one of the most anticipated weeks within the school year. It is filled with a plethora of joyous events that brings everyone together. This years homecoming week was no exception. Tuesday October 15, 2024: Battle of the Colors (Purple) To kick off homecoming week, the first dress up day and probably the most basic was color wars. The color for Juniors is purple. Finding purple clothing was actually really hard. As someone who does not really like wearing flashy colors this one was a bit challenging for me. I personally prefer to wear very neutral colors such as brown, black, white, gray. Nothing that really stands out. And purple is just that, a very vibrant color that sticks out. As someone who is a avid hater of purple this dress up day pained me the most. But nonetheless, I showed out. I managed to find a purple shirt and just wore a pair of leggings because the purple was already too much for me. But at the same time I did not want to be too basic since this...
