In my BA in Psychology program, I am preparing myself for a lifetime of helping people. Specifically, I

believe that children are the world's greatest assets, and it is my goal in life to protect the future byprotecting our youth. My transition from high school to university was aided by my participation in theGlobal Young Leaders Conference (see 'Other Activities', page 3), in which I was representing Canadain a group of 380 high school students from 86 countries. lt was during this time that I decided I wantedto focus my energy on our younger generations, in an effort to repair some of the damages we haveincurred as a result of our history. My desire to help humanity has been reinforced time and time againsince that experience, and I look forward to each and every chance I get to contribute to that goal.

SHORT ESSAY RESPONSESAnswer all the questions within the space provided for each question, No extra Information will be read. Please limit your answersto events and experiences that have taken place since January, 2005. A missing answer will disqualify you.

1 . List tne three most important activities in which you took a leadership role. For each one, briefly state why it was important for youto assume the responsibility of leader.

2 . Using one or two specific examples from the leadership experiences listed above, describe how your successes and failures havecontributed to your development as a leader,

In my role as a Community Advisor, I was able to take each of the skills I had learned in everydiscipline since childhood, from Girl Guides to marching band and really bring them together. I learnedan enormous amount about truly effective communication. Since my previous experiences hadgenerally involved communication in one contelit (e.9. marching band) to one 'type' of people (e.g.members of the marching band), I found it challenging to get my point across to each of my 50students because of the diversity of the group. As the year went on, I learned that different studentsresponded better to different forms of communication and I adapted my ways to better suit their needs.Each experience I have had has served as a learning opportunity for me. While I try to avoid some ofthose unfortunate 'lessons' through careful planning, I never hesitate to re-evaluate those plans if theyare not working out.In my first year as a member of the Calgary Stampede Showband (before being given a spot on theDrum Major team), I was a soloist for our summer show. During a rehearsal right before a veryimportant performance, the soloists were each pulled aside after rehearsal by the director. He wasupset with us, as none of us had quite fulfilled his expectations. After he finished, we all walked away,fairly forlorn that we had disappointed him. I wasn't satisfied, so I turned around and went back to talkto him, asking how I could improve and what specifically he wanted me to accomplish. He mentionedlater on in the year that he was very impressed with my initiative and my eagerness to do the best I

could do. lt is this constant desire to improve and to challenge myself that has contributed a great dealto my abilities as a leader.

3. Describe an experience from your list of community service activities in which you made a difference. Explain what wasaccomplished. your role, and what you learned and might do differently.

In February of 2007, I was part of a group from the U of C that traveled to the University of Guelph toparticipate in a service learning project called Project Serve Canada. The focus of this year's Projectwas HIV/AIDS. While all of us were aware of the issue and had some idea of the severity, we learnedabout the impact HIV/AIDS has made all over the world, in all races, and all demographics. After givingpresentations to high risk students in Guelph area high schools, we were inspired to bring theselessons home to Calgary and 'Footprints', an HIVIAIDS awareness group was born.Our age demographic is the most at-risk, and also the most misinformed about the virus, so we took itupon ourselves to change that. In April, we gave presentations to over 200 university students. We arecurrently in the process of securing funding for our group to attend the 2008 World AIDS Conference inMexico City to show the impact we are having.The greatest lesson I have learned from this is the importance of planning and research.We had encountered a couple of roadblocks along the way, simply because we had tried to movethings along a little too fast, and not necessarily going through the correct channels to accomplish ourgoals. I have learned to check and double check everything before making any significant moves, but I

have also learned that it is sometimes is necessary to take a calculated risk.

4. Describe a need at your school or in your community that was not being addressed and explain what steps you took to deal wjth it.

What were the results of your actions?

It is apparent by the frequent newspaper, radio, television and internet ads that Canadians are notdonating enough blood, and there is an ever-growing need for blood donors..Nearly two years ago, I became a regular blood donor, but I knew my individual impact was limited. I

worked with the U of C Residence and Canadian Blood Services and had our group enrolled in the"Partners for Life" program, pledging a minimum of 100 donations per year, and saving 300 lives in theprocess. We are currently saving lives by the dozens and helping to do our part for our fellow Canadiancitizens.
