I was the leader of getting Volunteers for our Lamoille Obstacle Race, so I had to find over 20 volunteers to help run the race. I also had to make sure every obstacle was covered by a volunteer. For the Lamoille Wood Project, my class and I had to work together as a team to stack wood for low income families in Vermont to have wood for the winter. Knowledge
I learned that teamwork and leadership skills are very important to achieve any goals. From a classroom environment to a business environment to achieve anything there must be teamwork and leadership. I learned that being a leader instead of a follower you learn more, achieve more, and develop more knowledge in this subject. For example, I was the leader of getting volunteers for the Lamoille Obstacle Race and I learned that it isnt easy; it takes time and dedication to achieve a goal. This is why you must always have a plan and have a time set when it comes to achieving something big. Skills I have developed a lot of leadership and teamwork skills from this program. Business isnt all about competition; it is also about being a leader and a team member. In my class we have done a lot of team activities and community service together. Doing all of these activities really helped me achieve the leadership and teamwork skills, because we are always working together as a team and must be our own leaders at the same time. It may seem impossible to have these two traits, but practicing these two traits a whole school year you realize they both work well together as a team. Growth and Improvement Statement
I have learned and obtained a lot of skills in this program, especially teamwork and being a leader. Being in a business environment I notice that having these skills really help accomplish goals. I can honestly say this program really helped me improve in my teamwork and leadership skills. Now, when I walk into a job or when I open my business, I will know how to be a leader and a team player.
