good afternoon everybody tuning in to day for another episode of college crazy day we will be discussing student leadership roles and how that can help on getting into college my name is nick killing in kill kill and joining us today is jared wires a current we help new students coming and we get them used to the high school we have a lot of different types of things like fund raising things we can do we were a very fun group of people we it's a lot like student council but not exactly like student council people would get them confused but as a student master we our main goal is to represent peter's touchup high school we are as mr was it says the face of peter such a high school and our main thing they want to do is get a new people into the school comfortable and get them happy and excited to be here at our high school now what exactly is like the difference between student council and student back because they're both leadership roles here at the high school absolutely they're both very important leadership roles but as a student ambassador we focus more on getting other people comfortable in our high school that's one of like our main jobs is to get everyone together and show school spirit student council does a lot more like running the school like the treasurer like the president that kind of things they have a lot of different roles and tasks they do they're very as much as they both share leadership qualities they obviously share a lot of leadership abilities together but  grade it was kind of like a big thing ever i wanted to be an ambassador seems like and the main thing we did in sixth grade we just gave tours to new families then move to peter's township we showed them they could marry and walk around the school and that was kind of like the only thing we really did in sixth grade and then in middle school it wasn't as involved but once we got towards high school my cousin was another student vassar and she told me that it's a really great thing to do and i got a form and i filled it out and i became a student no i'm aware that you are a student master leader i mean he told me now how did you become a leader well after being a leader you need to be an ambassador for at least one year you need to be running a four way through and to be a leader you need to really show leadership qualities it actually involves an interview with mr lesson and other teachers to make sure that you are able to be a team leader it's being an ambassador as a first level embassador there's about eighty you want a group and you have a team leader who basically is like the head of the face of whatever group group one group to excite her and they are like the commander and nine or ten kids and their group of there are students and we master the team leaders show them what to yourself into are you sure you can handle this you need to make sure you are available and make sure you're good with people you can get up because as team leaders we do a lot more things than the student bassam is themselves right now we're not talking college  how would how would a being a student master help get into colleges be used in a basket or for college is actually really really good it's an extreme leadership quality and as you know colleges really love seeing people branching out for like leadership abilities especially with things like n h s like they really love to see leadership and being a student bassett or shows already that you are confident to speak in public you are able to talk to people and it's just a  very very good thing to do and let alone that being a team leader is even better because not only can i tell colleges that i was a student bassett i also was the leader of a student master group at our high school now how would you let a college know that you're assuming master in my resume whenever i say whenever i'm not signed up ever i like applied to college i probably put in there but it asked about certain things about myself i would say that i was a student bassett or team leader at our high school and i'm sure that all high schools all around the country they may have different names or different types of things so i would definitely go off and explain what exactly a student about a sitter is and it would definitely get me some brownie points when colleges look as though see oh this kid had a lot of cult leadership abilities he was a team leader at his high school for their ambassadors and it's definitely a very very good thing for college do you think most colleges like the majority of colleges will love to see that you're in a basket or absolutely i think that almost all colleges would really love to see that someone is a team leader let alone an ambassador that was actually one of the main things my cousin told me whenever she told me to be an ambassador she said i know you're only a freshman right now but whenever you become a junior and you start applying to colleges looking at colleges you're going to want to start racking up all of your leadership abilities and being an ambassador let alone a team leader or to extreme leadership abilities that they would like to see now you said you've been an ambassador for a while a million years and that would college that and think differently but they could i feel like because i was an ambassador in sixth grade they would know that i started this leadership ability at a young age and that i have been able to develop because i had gone from a sixth grade and bassett or to a high school embassador to a high school master team leader a college will see that i am like getting up on the totem pole that i'm getting there and i feel like a college would like that a lot more than someone who had just been just a solely  of the high school they were never a team leader now of course they're going to like to see that they branched out to be an ambassador but it definitely is a lot better to have been a team leader into have done it for previous years because that college will see that i have a lot more experience with leadership on edge as all juniors are about college right now but i definitely could see myself being in some leadership ability in my career with wherever i'm going with it because one thing that i do know is good for leadership quality is the fact that i'm able to speak in public that's one of the main things you need to do is to be able to be comfortable talking to anybody like when i was in sixth grade giving those tours i didn't know those families they just came in i actually use myself and i just started off talking right away and that's one of the really good things about leadership abilities is you need to be have you need to have the confidence to be able to go off and talk to whoever this person is and be able to like put yourself out there it's definitely an important thing for leadership how would a being a student pastor help with certain majors well being as soon a bastard are they teach you a lot of things about like i said before speaking in public talking to new people getting yourself comfortable with new people and i feel like especially in college knows people go to a college and they don't know anybody there and with the abilities i had as an ambassador a team leader i'm able to talk to new people meet new friends and not be afraid to start a conversation with people i don't know and that is definitely a good ability to have especially whenever you're off on college you're on your own you could be states away hours hours away missing your family and i'll still have the ability to go to someone and start talking to them you know how did being a student pastor help with your public speaking like you earlier well public speaking was always one thing i loved to do when i was little i loved the talk i would actually never really showed up to my mother and as i went on through sixth grade doing my first embassador year when i had to start giving those tours people would ask me questions and i could start answering them and then from there kind of moved on more and i realized that public speaking is something that i was very good at and i even joined our school's forensics team where which is that the speech and debate of the world and public speaking that got me farther there and it's this a great ability you can earn from being asked in a basket or how do you think being able to speak publicly public speaking do you think that's just a great thing to know i think that is a call an amazing ability to have because a lot of people in the world are very socially like they are afraid to speak out in public and for those people that are free to speak in public being a student ambassador is an amazing way to take care of that ability because not only do they teach you to speak to people in public but you are almost forced like those say you need to go give this sort of this person you need to answer their questions and you know up you have to do it all actually by the way they force you to do it it's almost like you're learning through the experience and then you're getting there slowly and as you mature and the years go on and you continue as an ambassador through the rest of high school you'll get a lot better at it and public speaking will soon be very easy for you to do and you will no longer be afraid to talk to anybody out there and it was definitely carry with you through the rest of your life now is there anything you dislike to being a student bassett or well being a student bassett or it was at first very time consuming because as an underclass we had the most most important way to do is to spend time with our friends and have fun until school actually really kicked into gear on junior year and it was very time consuming we had a lot of tasks we had to do for our schools college fair we had to all be there we had to be walking around running the boost running the stands answering questions we had to host welcome back night where we had to help new people around the school get around where they're going talk to parents and there's always more and more opportunities to be out like there were some where we would go to tracks farm and do things there like there were always chances to be public to public speaking to other people continue to come up as the times that go by mr was who is the leader of the soon investors would get more opportunities and he would relay them off to the team leaders and the team leaders would really them off the eight or nine students in the group and encourage them and get them excited to go and participate in these public speaking events now why would you recommend being a student better i would absolutely commanding it in a mass or to anyone in this high school regardless of your age because it is such an extreme virtue to have to be able to learn how to speak so publicly to other people and it's just a great it's not only that but it's fun we all our little group of our team we're like a family and we are able to communicate with communicate with each other and go off and do things together and be comfortable with each other to go and do whatever the task we have to do is do you know of like other any like similar roles of being a student bassett or in college or do you know anything or in college i'm sure there are lots of leadership classes even in our high school there's a leadership class and from there i'm sure they would be able to get other people more into public speaking and getting yourself out there and partaking in these leadership roles by answering those people's questions helping those in need and doing anything i feel like almost all colleges have to have something that can help them get their students to get more into public speaking and helping others how do you say being a student pastor is worth your time being seen  about absolutely worth your time because i said it's fun we all enjoy each other's company we all fun together and not only that but it's extremely beneficial for college because having these leadership roles are going to make colleges like to see more and it's just i mean why not do it because as an underclassman it seemed time consuming but now as i have been a team leader this whole year it is very easy to handle besides our workload with our classes and it's not like it's that complicated to do anyone can do it all you have to do is sign up and you're in basically but being a team leader of course you have to get a little beyond that but not everyone needs to be a team leader you can really do whatever you want well thank you very much jared it looks like we are out of time thank you so much jared for coming in today and i don't go away just yet nexus host isaac ingram continuing this segment of student leadership with peter's touch of student my grandfather served in world war two spending time with him were the best memories of my life i became a physician in v a because of my grandfather so i can help others like him i can't imagine working with better doctors or more dedicated staff fulfilling my life's mission with the help of my team and thanks to these veterans i'm proud to be a doctor in v a i'm proud to honor my grandfather every day search v a careers to find out more here's something you bet you

and eating foods that help you and your family to seriously reduce the risk of cancer and of course by not smoking visit the cancer prevention together we can website and get a free thirty day planner filled with tips recipes stats and more about protecting your family go to prevent definitely wasn't thinking at home in college but i did when i was in sixth grade i thought i could probably carry this on the middle school and high school and maybe eventually benefits that's awesome so what responsibilities do you have as need someone to sit with at lunch will sit with them or give them towards the school and then also one is not like a set like thing to do but we whenever we see someone who looks like they need help or it looks kind of just because you have student interview to become an ambassador and that's at the in your freshman year and just prepare for that and be ready to answer their questions about the school and why you want to be a master and you'll probably get it and is it like a rigorous interview or is it just like kind of casual  it's pretty casual it's like three dots there the who are in charge of the ambassadors you just go in with those three and they ask questions what would you change about the school why do you want to be an ambassador what do you think you can like do to benefit the ambassador program and stuff  lot more helpful i look for those people who seem like they might be like fitting in i guess and i seek those people out and want to help them that's great so have you ever actually had that experience like going out to help i have in my lunch period there was this one boy who looked like he did at home and so with so we invited him to come stay with us and he stayed there for a couple days i think you might have thought a little bit uncomfortable if you left after that but we  and we've done maybe two this year we haven't done much college for stuff i guess that might be coming up but the only we've only done like welcome back now and then coming up so i think we can probably get more involved because we don't it's not colleges come in we direct them to where their booth will be and we just welcome them tell them where they can get their food and we just basically make them feel welcome yes so why would you recommend  student leader ship in general over their clubs or actually curricular activities i think student leadership has a big benefit on your college applications and also has a big benefit in your life just because you're getting that experience leading a group and i think that can benefit you a lot in colleges now do you think that colleges would like to say there is a person that applied to a college and was an astute investor in student leadership and someone who was  you think they'd lean more towards person in a leadership position i think they if if they're like it's an equal playing field and that's the one thing that would bump them up yeah i think they definitely lean toward the student with the leadership  is i think colleges like to see that you have experience leading a group and you're able to speak in front of people and you're getting yourself out there think they really like to see that that's great like do you guys clark like service hours or anything like that that you could put on like a college application we don't really do much service stuff per se it's more like school activities like do you participate in many school activities or just like kiran they're a little bit it's here and there so are there any benefits of being a student leader leadership the benefits i think are more personal benefits and helps you grow as a person it really helps you like mature i would say and becoming a person who looks for people who need help and just more it's like humbling i would say about it because the only way you can really find out about it is if you check your emails regularly because they send on e mail saying you can apply to be in it or they might sit on the announcements i don't know but it's not really promoted very well around the school i think that's why students don't know much about it but i think if they did they would definitely consider joining it now want something but you would won all the students who don't hear about it what do you think they should hear specifically  i think they should hear that it's really fun it's not really very strict you don't have to be at everything as long as some people from your group are there you're ok like you don't have to worry about missing stuff and getting kicked out or whatever like used to what you're going to do and then they send out at motos whenever there's going to be an event and you just say if you can go to event and show up now as a bastard but you've been here for how long now since  is we train the new level one in boston is coming in which is usually the sophomores so we train them in how to do everything and like what being a bastard really is and we get trained by mr last night to be a like the people are super nice it's easy to make friends with some of the kids in my level one group who are softwares know i've made friends with some of them so it's a good experience and it's nice to make some new friends out of it that's awesome so i was as a help to you in like the social world like expand your friend group or anything like that yeah i would say it's helped me a little bit i've made a couple new friends through it that's great so how exactly can whenever like have that leadership like like you done leadership positions or something like that do they like what they reckon do you think they'd recommend you to do other leadership positions like continue if they had the program do you think they'd ask you to be like a at their college i think so i think they would like to see the like that i'm taking the initiative to be that in high school and then if they have that program i don't know if they would seek me out but i definitely see them out to be a part of that because i really enjoy doing it is there anything in particular that you're looking for like from a college in the leadership positions i'm not sure exactly what colleges offer and i'm probably differs from college college but i think i would be definitely a fun program to most important that's just my opinion i think you should definitely focus on your school get good grades first and then then you can go do your extracurricular activities now does being in st investors does like how it's maturity as i hope you like with your grades like now you like have a sense of like time management or thing like that oh well it hasn't been really time consuming i don't think there's not much stuff you have to do to be a part of it just be caijing live and which is maybe like twice every couple of months so it's not too bad so i'm still have time to get on my school work done and it doesn't take up too much time that's great at the events is pretty stressful environment or is it like you guys are doing very much there sometimes it can be very stressful because it's kind of chaotic there's a lot of people especially at when if there's come up there's a lot of eighth graders and not a lot of us and we're trying to direct them all where they're going and then sometimes tours collide and it's just gets a little chaotic like when new people come in we help direct them and make them feel comfortable i think student council i don't know much about it but i feel like they do more of like setting up the stuff rather than actually like going in and doing that stuff just getting all the background stuff done and then let other people go ahead and be like the face of it but i think since i joined i really become more of a person who wants to get out there and actually do it that's great thank you so much and that's all we have time for today thank you abb
