During my adolescence I had an interest in joining a service club where I had the opportunity to develop my leadership skills among others. In high school I founded the Student Union (You might indicate what the Student Union is or what it worked towards accomplishing). In the university with other students we had the initiative to set up a service club in order to promote leadership of the members together with social projects. I was recently chosen to be a member of the Student Union at my university.

However, I have always been worried about the people and the environment around me. I believe that participation in a leadership and cooperation program will improve my skills, broaden my network, increase my knowledge, develop my personal growth and my increase my self-confidence. I want to share things I've learned and I want to learn more. I want to exchange ideas and opinions which advance the knowledge of the other participants. After all my beliefs and values may be the solution to some of the problems faced by others.

Currently my country is experiencing political and economic problems in addition to serious problems in education and health. All this makes me want to make a difference even more in the community and be part of the solution. Therefore, I intend to become a leader in the future both professionally and socially.

Everybody wants to live peacefully but unfortunately conflicts between and among people directly affect that goal. I am aware that thoughts, words and actions influence our lives, our behavior and also determine our future. Conflicts generate wars, death and hate between people of different countries and even within countries. Differences should not separate people, but should unite them through respect and the pursuit of equality. Conflicts lead to various negative effects on the livelihoods of the people around them. I am aware that I won't necessarily be a part of every solution to solve problems, but that being said, I know we can work together to find the best way in which these solutions can be found. We will do this by developing our leadership so that one day we can indicate which way should be followed.
