Answer 1

I’m not the valedictorian or the star of the soccer team. But I did ace all of my classes, especially English, and am a pretty good goalie. I was also the VP of Fashion Club for three years and have always participated in charity events through my church; both of which allowed me to throw the first Charity Fashion Show at my high school.

This was an important leadership role for me because I was in charge of the whole event. With approval from of our club president, I gathered the Fashion Club for a special meeting and we came up with cool spring outfits that could be sourced from local thrift stores. About a week later I met with the store managers and got them to donate all of the clothes, shoes, and accessories so that we could put on our show. I was so surprised and excited by how willing these businessmen and women were to participate. In exchange for their donations, we showed the store’s logo and address, and all of the proceeds went to the charities backed by the three thrift stores.

To be successful I knew I had to delegate tasks. I put the Fashion Club secretary in charge of marketing. She responsible for renting the auditorium and sending out flyers and emails. I trusted her to do this because she was really skilled at PR and designing posters.

On Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 7 PM, my high school held its first Charity Fashion Show. It lasted one hour and the auction of two dozen outfits raised over $900 USD for charity. The following day some of the students were even wearing some of the fashion show styles!

I was very proud of having organized and leading the Fashion Club to hold this inaugural event. The Fashion Club advisor had taught me to own my position as leader by helping others achieve success in their roles and that’s exactly what I did. The event, from organization to execution, was so successful that a few weeks later we began planning the Fall Fashion Show
