CAA Leadership Award @ 3:09 PM
In 150 words or fewer (1,050 character limit), please
describe your leadership goals for the upcoming academic year (July 2012
to June 2013). How will they further develop your leadership skills
and create a positive effect here at UC Berkeley? Please include your
plan for achieving those goals.
Although the typical image of a leader implicates an idea of brute power and authority, my take on leadership is a bit more subtle, like basil in a pasta dish. I plan to be entering the class of 2016, and as a first year, I intend to immediately look for opportunities to participate in undergraduate research underneath a professor. Most students don't take part in research so early on. A leader takes initiative and makes the most of her resources, but also knows how to learn from other leaders and take criticism and mentorship gracefully. I plan to ask questions, publish my research in the future to educate not only myself, but the UC Berkeley community. That is how you bring out the maximum taste; you start with the raw passion, and you put it among other ingredients, where it can soak the flavor of those, while contributing its own.

me.
you think you know me yeah ?
Hello, my name is Ash, and I'm currently a student in her last year of secondary school.
To be honest, this blog has been made so that I can practice my writing and delve deeper into my mind in order for me to realize what is important to me -
what exactly makes me me?
It's a soul searching blog, and the ultimate goal is for me to write freely about myself and find inspiration and material for admissions essays.
As that is, anything that is written on this blog is my intellectual property. Uni.'s obviously use plagiarism checkers on all submitted work, so stealing any words that I have written will only ruin your future.
One thing I hate
most is academic dishonesty.
