Touro College Experience

Touro College Experience
Leadership has often felt like an inborn gift to me. My experience in Touro College has worked to my advantage in terms of bringing out some of the principles I knew less about. The experience I have gained in this institution has enabled me to redefine the true meaning of leadership. Touro has offered me the opportunity to develop as well as exhibit my leadership skills. The lessons taught in class, and the guidance has provided me with adequate exposure while reminding me of the numerous opportunities that exist. The internship experience has been simply invaluable in instilling unto me a sense of responsibility. Despite having the same core principles as schoolwork, the internship program has been different in the sense that it has provided me with the practical aspect of learning. It would be difficult to realize one’s potential if all the learning was restricted within the confines of a classroom. The internship program has sought to overcome such limitations.
Touro College has proved to be different in the way it prepares students for leadership and other roles in the society. The institution has often emphasized student participation in key areas such as supervision and team building among other majors. However, this does not necessarily mean that every student has the potential to be a leader just by attending this institution. I personally believe that there are a few primary traits that mark a leader from the initial stage of schooling. While growing up, I have leant that I possess most of these skills.

Importantly, through the interaction with most of my colleagues pursuing other courses, I have gained the motivation I needed to start off as a team leader for today and the future generation.
The class work has been intense. Because of this, I have been able to gain valuable knowledge in the field of school building leadership. The lessons in the college are often tailored for the various specialties to enable students to maximize their contact with the lecturers and crucial knowledge for career growth. This has constantly proved to work for me because I have acquired mentors from my teachers who have provided incredibly good guidance.
Both the schoolwork and the internship program I have had to go through have enabled me to realize my skills in supervision and administration. The tasks I have had to take up during my time as a student have highlighted the leadership spirit in me due to the fact that I have been excellent in the tasks given to me. I believe that leadership draws its core principles from the practice of impacting the society. Armed with this knowledge, I plan to carry my leadership skill with me to the next level. My dream is to nurture leaders in the schools I will be teaching. I plan on instilling the same knowledge I have acquired throughout my life as a student, all in a bid to create better leaders than we have today. Moreover, my leadership and administrative skills will enable me to become a better team leader in future. After my graduation from Touro College, I will still have the desire to grow and learn. However, this time, I plan on making it more practical. My potential as a leader can only be unmasked if I choose to take an active role in the society leadership and guidance. I plan to join hands with local leaders in seeking to learn from them. I believe that this will enable me to learn their flaws and work on them while retaining the good skills I will acquire.
