Admissions officers are looking for candidates that will add to the campus community. You can stand out by developing leadership skills through your extra-curricular activities. The path to leadership isn’t rocket science – you can get started today!

大学招生办的负责人最希望遇到的申请者通常是那些能为高校社区增光添彩的人才。因此，你可以凭借自己在课外活动中培养出的领袖能力从众多候选者中脱颖而出。培养自己的领导能力并非难事——你可以从今天就开始准备！

1.Get Involved because the world is run by those who show up! Attend information sessions, speak to your active friends, and check out potential clubs online. Mark down the meeting time in your calendar and enlist a buddy to attend with you. It’s more fun with a friend and you are more likely to keep each other accountable.

(1) 参与其中——世界由能够展现自我的人主导。多去参加信息分享会，与校园里表现活跃的朋友交流，同时别忘记上网查找你有可能在未来加入的社团信息。在日程表上记录下所有会面的时间安排，再拉上一位密友作陪。这样一来，过程不但会因此变得更有趣，而且你们两个人相对来说也会更加分工明确、能对彼此负责。

2.Plan to Adapt because trying out different activities is key to discovering your true interests and passion. Continue brainstorming on your goals and clarity will come with time. There is no time wasted because the knowledge, skills, and contacts will help open doors later (while helping you build a solid resume in the process).

(2) 学会适应——发掘自己真正的兴趣与热情所在的关键，是勇于尝试不同的活动。只要坚持头脑风暴、集思广益，随着时间的推移，你的理想和目标会变得越来越清晰。在这个过程中，你的时间非但不会因此被浪费，从活动里积累的知识、培养的能力和赢取的人脉反而会为你在日后打开一扇门（与此同时，你也在步步为营打造一份背景过硬的简历）。

As a freshman at UChicago, I spent much of my free time participating with the investment club. The experiences helped me land an internship with Merrill Lynch, which gave me the confidence and knowledge to later become an entrepreneur. None of us know where all the twists and turns in the path will lead but we can be confident that our next steps will be fruitful.

以我为例：在芝加哥大学读大一时，我利用大量课余时间参加投资俱乐部的活动，也借此赢得在美林证券实习的机会，而这份实习经历又最终帮助我建立起作为一个企业家必备的信心和知识体系。我们无从得知沿途的迂回曲折能将道路引向何方，但至少可以相信自己的每一个“下一步”都会让我们有所收获。

3.Find a Mentor because they can help you navigate the path. They have faced similar challenges and can help you avoid stumbling blocks while pointing out promising opportunities. The President and VP of the UChicago investment club, Elsa and Josh, spent lots of time teaching me about analyzing the economy, picking stocks, and building a portfolio. Our friendship didn’t end when they graduated and both went on to top consulting firms. Elsa and Josh continue to help me with both of my projects, Moneythink and ChaseFuture, serving as helpful advisors as well as wonderful friends and mentors.

(3) 寻找导师——他们是你前行的领路人。导师们也曾面临与你相似的挑战，因此他们能在为你指出光明前途的同时让你少走弯路。Elsa和Josh分别是芝加哥大学投资俱乐部的主席和副主席，他们两人常常指导我如何分析经济、选择股票或者怎么组建证券投资组合。后来，尽管他们毕业离校，又双双进入顶级咨询公司，我们之间的友谊仍未褪色。这两位良师益友如今仍在为我的Moneythink和ChaseFuture这两个项目提供力所能及的援助。

4.Act like a leader by taking on responsibility and being friendly and kind. A fancy title is not required to make a big contribution in your organization. Treat people with respect and be proactive, trying out for opportunities to lead. Share your aspirations with the current leaders – your energy and enthusiasm will demonstrate your potential and create opportunity. This was how I got started in Student Government at UChicago. A few coffee chats changed the direction of my college career by inspiring me to run for President of Student Government, a phenomenal way to build leadership skills. I learned first-hand the importance of getting involved, planning to adapt, finding mentors, and acting like a leader!

(4) 如领袖般行事——意味着承担责任，也意味着和善友好。一个花哨的名头并不能对你的团队发展做出任何贡献。当你竞争成为领导角色时，要学会尊敬他人并具有前瞻性；与现任负责人讲明你的愿望，让他们从你的精力与热情中看到你作为成功领袖的潜质，主动为自己创造机会——当初我就是因此而进入芝加哥大学学生会。几次喝咖啡时的聊天成为我竞选学生会主席的导火索，进而改变了我整个大学生涯的发展方向，因为组织学生会工作绝对是一种培养领导技能的显著手段。我本人，亲身经历了所有四个过程——参与其中、安排改变、寻找导师和如领袖般行事——也深知它们重要性！

Remember that fate favors the bold so we must calculate the risks and take them. We will all experience failure on our journey but that is where we learn the essential lessons of leadership.

记住：命运总会青睐勇敢者。因此我们必须能预见风险并勇于承担。成功的路上必有失败，但切记失败也将是你成为领导人物过程中所学的重要一课。

It’s no secret that admissions officers aim to invest in applicants that have demonstrated leadership potential. Now you have a roadmap to become a leader on your campus. You can get started today!

招生负责人以接受具有领袖潜质的申请者为目标，这早已不是什么秘密。阅读至此，你应已有朝着校园领袖方向发展的一个路标。那么，从今天就开始着手准备吧！Stand Out with Leadership
