Leadership is a difficult concept to explain because everyone defines it differently. From my personal experiences as a student leader, I can tell you that there is no single     1     of leadership, particularly with student leaders. You are a leader, a student and a peer, so this role can be especially difficult to manage. As a student leader, you deal with academic     2     , as well as the added pressure of leading a group of your peers. As the president of FUSE, the contemporary dance group at Colgate University, I experienced many ups and downs with     3     . Thankfully, my passion for this dance club gave me the    4     to lead my fellow dancers.

Finding an activity that is both enjoyable and     5     is the first step. In order to be a good leader, you must be     6     interested in what you are leading, whether it’s debating, cooking or robotics. In my case, dance has always been of interest to me, from my grandfather teaching me salsa to early childhood training with ballet, and so I always assume that dance would be part of my life. Once I arrived on my college campus, ready for my college adventure, I had a sudden     7     : wandering around the Student Activities Fair, I saw no contemporary or modern dance clubs. I panicked.

After meeting a fellow dancer at Freshmen Orientation, we found that we shared the same passion and desire to start a club. We held auditions, created club     8     and held practices. The process of creating the actual club was both fun and challenging because we had to figure out school club regulations,     9     many club rules, obtain 60 signatures of supporters and overcome other obstacles. As it turns out, this process was not a walk in the park for us.
