Please help me improve it.
Thanks in advance.
Through-out high school, I found myself to be an unlikely leader in the Latino community at school. Although Im naturally a quiet person, my accomplishments through school have earned me this leadership role. As I walk around campus, I always find people who seek my help in a particular subject. Sometimes I ask why they come to me, and they respond by saying that Im a nice guy who would not hesitate to help a person in need, so they come to me whenever they need help. Since people view me as a leader in the Latino community, I take that time to stress how important college is; how important it is for their future. I take my time to talk to fellow students who are thinking about dropping out of school. I tell them that they will be making a lot more money if they just go to a local community college. Although Im not always successful, it makes me feel better inside knowing that I tried. And this kind of leadership, among other things, is what I plan to contribute to the University of California.
