One example of leadership that I have seen is an example through an old soccer coach that coached at my school. He started the soccer program at the high school I went to and coached for many decades. Sadly I never had him as a coach as he retired the year before I joined the soccer team but he still is the best example of leadership I know. He would come to the soccer games even after he retired to watch and cheer on the program he built. He really put his all into making a great program for a sport that’s not very popular in the area that I am from. This shows leadership because it gives an example of absolute passion for a goal that is very contagious especially in a team setting and a player coach setting. It is also showed leadership because as a coach he was not just teaching kids how to shoot and defend but also teaching his players how to respect one another and also how to work hard in school, jobs, and any other challenges that you may face in life.

About Me
My name is Weston Miller and I will be entering my first year at Ohio State this fall. I am planning on going into the business college and majoring in finance. I am very excited about my time at Ohio State and for the people, I will meet during my college career. I am from a small town and a small high school near Toledo, Ohio so Columbus will be a big change for me. Throughout my years in high school, I have always enjoyed team sports and I have a very competitive attitude. My favorite sport to play is soccer. I also hope to take part in a study abroad program at Ohio State so I can experience the college atmosphere in another country. I am most excited for the football and basketball games at OSU and dorm life at OSU.
I just moved away from my Mom, Grandma, and Brother who all used to live with me in Swanton. My mom works as a bus driver for my old school and my grandma does things around my house and also likes to go bowling and golfing. My Brother is eight years older than me and was an engineering student at The University of Toledo. I worked at a seafood restaurant named Shuckers as an expediter and I also worked as a concessionist at a movie theater. Outside of word I enjoy playing games on my computer, hanging out with my friends and watching Netflix at home.
