I feel mostly confident that I have enough mastery in the traits listed above to be a successful principal.<span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Personality covers a wide range of areas. For me specifically, I have confidence that I have a suitable one for being a principal. I am calm, collective, competitive, goal oriented and driven, expectations, emotional stability, social boldness, enthusiasm, self-assurance, tough-mindedness, comforting, and caring.<span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In regards to motivation, I have been known to not need outside sources to motivate me. As I mentioned above, I have a competitive drive. This is naturally my inner motivation. I have been driven since I was a little girl to give everything I do with my best efforts. I am constantly striving to reach personal goals without needing extrinsic motivation. I typically motivate others, which I feel is important for a principal. A leader needs to be able to motivate their team.<span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Lastly, but most certainly not least is skill. This is one area I perceive that will need more focus and attention. This is primarily due to lack of experience in specific duties that principals cover; their duties. However, I am confident that I have the capabilities and abilities to lead, learn and grow.</span></p><br></div>
