Hi, my name is Jialing. Being a student had been pretty much my whole identity, until three and a half years ago. While I was volunteering, I was introduced to KPOP. Now, I am also a KPOP dancer. As the captain of a dance team at my dance studio, I lead group practices and substitute for my dance teacher. As a result, the team is able to produce multiple dance cover videos a year, aside from participating in performances and competitions. This first-time experience as a leader allowed me to become passionate about spreading dance culture at my school.
Last year, I was president of the choreography dance club. But there were lots of difficulties when it came to recruiting members as a sophomore.
Therefore, during the summer, I took advantage of my school's summer program that allowed me to create a small business to connect internships to students. This opportunity taught me crucial characteristics of a leader and businesswoman, including marketing, collaboration, and planning. This year, I am the president of a popular school production club that's known for dancing. My experience from the summer and familiarity with the school and the club system allowed me to effectively market my club, attracting not only freshmen, but also seniors.
But, I didn't stop there. I went back and helped my volunteer group, who first introduced me to KPOP. I taught them dances that were then performed at holiday events to help create a cheerful atmosphere for the misfortunate families.
Outside of my passion for music and dance, I enjoy teaching. My interactions with my students allowed me to see myself when I was a kid, who was struggling to learn English when I first came to America. Being a tutor not only allowed me to spread American cultures, but also allowed me to reflect on myself.
Through the leadership in business world program, I hope to enhance my leadership skills to better prepare me for my future career path as a businesswoman. I hope that three weeks on campus can allow me to meet new people whom I share the similar interests and passion with.
