Personal Creeto

In class we had an assignment to create a Personal Creto so we can better understand our goals and commitments to become a better leader. Writing or making a list of your goals can help you abide by them everyday in your life. I think this exercise makes me reflect on my goals and values everyday.


Personal Creto

1. I believe in goals.
o I will have to make sacrifices along the way
o I will work hard at any task
o I will do everything I can to make the goals happen

2. Faith.
o Faith in myself
o Faith in God
o Faith in others

3. Honesty is a paramount.
o Tell the truth
o Tell the whole truth

Daniel Goleman Reflection

“No creature can fly with just one wing. Gifted leadership occurs where heart and head – feeling and thought – meet. These are the two wings that allow a leader to soar.” -Daniel Goleman

I agree with this quote because exceptional leadership can only work out if you have a combination of the head and the heart. Sometimes one person may have both qualities in them or if one person has the head and the other has the heart. Like Bea Salazar and Dianna. When one uses their head I interpret that as having the ability to communicate and set a vision for their goal they want to achieve. When one uses their heart I interpret that as having humility, have the ability to inspire and be motivated. Having the heart also allows one to communicate better and this equals to having relationships with others. People should realize their strengths and weaknesses and see whether if they have more of the heart or the head, or if they have both. Once they know that they have two wings to soar from which makes them brilliant leaders. Bea Salazar and Diana Franzetti have a great combination because Bea had the motivation and inspiration to help the children, which all started of with her humility to the little boy who wanted food. Dianna manages all of the business for Bea's kids because Bea is not able to keep up with it and she feels like Dianna is more capable of fulfilling that task better than her. This combination is what allows Bea's Kids to be a successful program for kids.

"The Me I Always Wanted To Be"

When people remember me I want to be portrayed as "the-nice, sweet, caring, loving, hard-working girl." Since I am a very stubborn person it enables me to persistent. Once I say something or set a goal for myself I push myself to strive for it and accomplish it no matter what it takes. Every time someone tells me i cant do something i will do anything to prove them wrong. My greatest strength would have to be that I am hard-working. I believe my hardworking personality will help me lead a succesful life and help others achieve what they want. Because I am hardworking I dont give up easily because i determined to finish what I have started. I realized this quality of mine when I went to boarding school. I was determined to help two kids in particular. I wanted them to learn basics of math and learn a little bit of how to read and write english. I worked really hard all year long spending more than 40 hours in the orphange teaching these kids. Although i got frustrated a couple times i never gave up on them and at the end they learned exactly what i wanted them to learn. In the near future I wish to continue this because I want to be able to help the illiteracy rate in the world. I can be a leader to those who need my help and influence their life. I want to be known as an "influential mentor". When i do something good for someone it makes me happy and I feel like an accomplished person. In my short life that I have lived so far I have learned one thing that money is not everything but time can make a difference in the lives of those who are in great need of it.

How Has My View on Leadership Changed?

Through the classes we have had on leadership and leadership qualities I have learned a great deal about this topic. I not only learned I can portray leadership in my everyday life but it also taught me how to recognize true leaders. I portray my leadership everyday by being humble and having a vision first for myself first. I also ask my self what qualities I have as a leader to lead in simple situations such as starting a conversation with a new student. Since I started this leadership class I have learned how to lead in groups in all my classes or in any other situation which I am placed in on how to lead. Most importantly the greatest thing I have learned is to be confident in myself because if i am not confident in myself i cannot expect others to be confident in me which will cause me not to be a good leader. I look up to many leaders in my community and learn from how they lead. For example I try to see what attributes made them successful so that can help me be as successful as them.
