"I organized a march for environmental conservation and global warming awareness. My work included obtaining the permits, spreading awareness, and organizing the march's route. It was a lot more work than I anticipated. I had to write a speech and make many signs. I'm proud to say the march was a success. It was peaceful and made headlines."

If you haven't held a leadership position or are lacking in leadership experience, think about what leadership looks like to you. Think about leaders you admire. Choose an example where you were a key partner with other key team players and tapped into your leadership potential.
