6. SECTION 2 Leadership Theory and Models 25. Frogbridge Day Camp I was a camp councilor at Frogbridge Day Camp. There were several students Who suffered from disabilities. I used Awareness and the commitment to the Growth of people to help them learn how To apply sunscreen. I was aware that They were not able to do this simple Task and I helped them grow by Teaching them how to apply the Sunscreen. When the girls in my group Were frustrated about not being able to Do this task, I used healing to help them Feel better and encourage them to keep Trying. I had empathy for them when I knew they could not complete the task. I felt bad for them and then helped them To the best of my ability. I persuaded Them to want to apply their own Sunscreen because it was a skill that They could use in their future. I used Conceptualization by teaching the girls The concepts and steps of putting on Sunscreen. I used foresight in Predicting how teaching the girls was Going to go and the challenges that I was Going to have to face. I used stewardship When I managed the situation was in And was able to do it on my own. I Built a community by working together With the girls in my group and they Helped each other which made them Closer.

8. SECTION 4 Critical Thinking 74. I was a peer leader at my high school and had The opportunity to go on a retreat. We Learned several things about leadership. We Spent a large amount of our time learning About mediation. At first we watched the Upper classman give a mediation, then we Learned everything that goes into a mediation, And finally we applied our skills and was able To facilitate our own mediation. Whenever There was a confrontation at school, the Guidance councilors would call the peer Leaders and we would mediate the issue. I have run over 20 mediations and could Easily facilitate one at any time.

9. SECTION 5 (Interpersonal and Organizational Concepts and Skills ) 93. When working in groups, it is very important For everyone to have their own roles. For my GWS 150 class, our final project was to create An action project. We decided in order to have A functioning group and successful Presentations that we would have to create Roles. My role was to contact the peer Advocates to come and present at our Project. Fortunately, every member of the Group did what their role was and we created A successful project that led us to have a good Group dynamic and a good grade.
