What are the “a-ha” moments that have led you to be the person you are today? For this assignment, you are not encouraged to write your life story. Rather, I would like you to capture three stories that have had a profound impact on you and are guiding forces in your current actions.

Each story should include the following components:

2.What sense you make out of the experience (lessons learned)

3.How you are changed as a result of the experience

Some questions to consider exploring include (these are to help you think about what you want to write. You do not have to answer all the following questions.): What is your family history? What are your family traditions and customs? How have these factors influenced your life and perceptions of leadership? Do you have any social identities that influence your actions in the context of leadership? When was the first time you realized your leadership potential? Are there any influences outside of your family that have shaped your values and philosophy of leadership? What about the imperfect moments or mistakes that shaped the content of your character? How have mentors and critical incidents transformed you?

5. Your “My Story” response should be 6 pages in length, double-spaced, 1” margins, size 12 font with complete sentences and proper spelling and grammar.
