Excellent student in the classroom (3.8 GPA).” Her essay to college coaches, Jessica talks about the importance of leadership when she says, “College is something that is coming quickly. Patience, leadership, and teamwork are going to be big factors in succeeding at college and in the future. During college, patience is something that I will need to utilize greatly to achieve my current and future goals. I will utilize patience when mastering life at my new college, looking for a career, working with new people, and so much more. My leadership skills will be put to the test in life. Being a self-starter and taking initiative to complete assignments prior to the due dates take strong leadership skills. Also, if there is a group project, my leadership skills will shine. I will be able to collaborate and engage the entire group for the project. After graduation, leadership will become even more important when I am doing projects at work with many fellow employees. Leadership skills have a place in every aspect of life.”
