Today I interviewed my friend Samaya, the president of our school (Roosevelt IB Middle School) ASB (Associated Student Body) as my first interview. This was very exciting considering it was the first interview for this project! I am scheduled for an Interview with a woman from Cox Communications this evening at 8p.m. Today I also met with my Seminar Symposium facilitator, Mr. Cortes, and I left with the excited feeling that this project is finally coming together. Again, special thanks to Samaya Elder for doing an interview with me!!!
Q: What does leadership mean to you?
A: I think leadership is being an example to others and guiding them in the right direction by nurturing, instructing, or helping them out.
Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a leader?
A: One advantage of being a leader is that great feeling that you get when a project/assignment/activity goes well and you know that you played a major role in the process of completing it. A disadvantage of being a leader is when a project/assignment/activity doesn't go well and you are criticized or blamed for it.
Q: Whom do you lead?
A: I lead the ASB (Associated Student Body) as their president.
Q: Who are your role models and/or a historical figure that you look up to?
A: I look up to my parents because they have taught me so many life lessons and some of my peers because of the quality work and the personalities that they have.
Q: What are your keys to success?
A: I think that a good leader respects others, refrains from being bias, is nice, and is themselves.
Q: What advice do you have for me as an aspiring leader?
A: Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, be able to take criticism, and know that some people just aren't going to like you no matter what. Also, sometimes you have to be bossy to get work done.
Q: Is the ability to speak in front of a crowd important to you? Why or why not?
A: To me it's very important to be able to speak in front of a crowd because sometimes you have to give instruction, host events, and to lead a group it's kind of necessary.
Q: Please provide a quick description of your current job.
A: I am the President of ASB, so my job is to host school dances, fundraise for events, be the "face" of ASB, and unite the student body.
Q: Please provide a quick bio of your life.
A: I was born and raised in San Diego, CA and have lived here my whole life. I am a 13 year old girl with lots of dreams that wants to be successful in life. I love Niall from one direction and watching videos on youtube. Yay!
Fun Question: If you could have dinner with someone, living or dead who would that be? Why?
A: If I could dine with anyone, it would have to be Dan Howell because he has inspired me to lead others by being myself and setting a good example.
