<p>Here’s the simple question: are you a leader? Do you influence others? Outside of school – in your community, your place of worship, in you neighborhood, in your place of employment, volunteer efforst – do you lead? Is this a natural strength of yours? Or do you lead by other ways? Are you excelling in certain fields which make you an example for others? Research? Music? Arts? Sports? </p>
<p>I’ll be frank with you. Very few people are natural leaders. Those that are, usually are not asking how to highlight this fact.</p>
<p>You think colleges care about titles? They don’t. Those popularity contests? Do you think college admissions officers didn’t go to HS and don’t read the ACTUAL value on those positions? Of course they do. You’re skeptical about their real importance, aren’t you? Can you imagine how colleges view Bobby’s resume where he’s the president and founder of 10 clubs at his HS? They see right through it.</p>
