The Dunn Sport and Wellness Scholars (DSWS) program has helped me develop strong leadership skills and teamwork skills. Through DSWS, I have had the role of a “parent” or mentor for the first years in DSWS as well as a position on Leadership Council. Through both of these, I have participated in a lot of group activities that helped me learn how to work in a group as well as be an adaptive leader. Both of these skills are very important in college and in life. Throughout my collegiate career, I will continue to use the teamwork skills I have learned, such as how to work most effectively as a group toward a common goal, through group projects, work, clubs, and other leadership and extracurricular activities. I will also continue to use these skills throughout my career after college since in the medical field, I will always be working and collaborating with other people. In my collegiate career, I will continue to use the leadership skills I have developed, like how to be an adaptive leader and change my leadership style depending on the situation, as well as making sure everyone is involved and everyone’s voice is heard. I will do this by being a leader within my classes and having study groups, being a leader in my extracurricular activities, and being a leader through work. I will also continue to use these leadership skills throughout my life and future career in the medical field. Being a physician in the future, I will work as part of a team that will require both, good teamwork and leadership skills. DSWS has really helped me develop these skills, as well as many others, since I entered college.
