Leadership is when you motivate a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal. Management is the coordination and administration of tasks to achieve a goal. I honestly feel as if anybody can become a manager but it takes a strong person with integrity to actually lead. The difference between leaders and managers is that leaders have people that follow them and managers have people who work for them. Some management skills are interpersonal skills, communications, motivation, organization, problem solving and mentoring. Some leadership skills are communications, motivation, trustworthiness, positivity, commitment and feedback. Both leaders and need to have communication skills and motivation.

Leadership and Management can be similar but different. Leadership is the ability to lead an organized group in a successful manner. I feel in order to be in a leadership position you have to have many characteristics as in being inspiring, motivating and having that can do personility. Positivity is a must in the leadership position, no one wants a leader who doesn’t even believe in himself. Management is the ability to coordinate, as a manager you need many characteristics as well. Some are being well organized, good planning skills and hardworking. As a manager you’re trying to reach a goal for a person or business. These are a few of the differences you have between management and leadership. I have also noticed some similarities as well like they both plan to lead a group for success. In management and leadership you’re in control of a person or organization so all eyes are on you. They both have similar characteristics like, hardworking, organization, dedication, and well rounded. As a leader and manager you have to be at the top of your game because the business realizes it.

What you plan to do after completing your education; 3. Why you wish to return (or not return) to your home country; 4. Description of ways you have positively impacted your community; I am going to write the essay briefly to you to get general information about me which helps you to write essay. My name is Zhanat Kalmakov, I was born in Kyrgyzstan.(09/10/2000) I grew up in a beautiful country. I studied in a village named Taldy Suu. After graduating 9th grade(General Secondary Education in 2016) I applied for two years (associate degree ) college in Bishkek (capital of Kyrgyz Republic and Kyrgyzstan are same country). The speciality was “Translation Studies”. While I was studying at college in the second year of my education, I won a fully funded scholarship for an academic year in China. I was one of the best students in my college. I’ve been class monitor in my college and in China as well. In 2017 I went to China. The University which cooperates with my college is Shandong University of Technology. It was incredible educational and life experience. Living in a country with diverse culture is awesome. In addition, by the end of exchange program in China I also won fully funded four year scholarship with monthly payments 2500 Chinese Yuan. I had to refuse of that scholarship because I had to return to Kyrgyzstan to complete my associate degree. I’ve always been an activist and been participating many kind of events. I like volunteering, it gives me a lot of experiences. After coming back from China in 2018. I graduated from college, I was awarded the qualification of Kyrgyz-Chinese Translator(2019). There is a Government Scholarship in China provided by Confucius Institute. In 2019 I also won fully funded four year scholarship with monthly payments 2500 Chinese Yuan. Unfortunately, I had to refuse again because I really wanted to go to the USA because of the high education. After getting my associate degree, I decided to apply for American colleges. At that time my English was poor, and I applied for ESL classes. I am currently living in Seattle attending Seattle Central College. I’m still taking ESL classes. My aunt is my sponsor, and she has been paying my tuition. My dream is to become a professional specialist in Computer and Information Science. I am fluent in Chinese, Russian, Kyrgyz, learning Enlgish (almost fluent). Regarding the requirements of the essay: 1. I think the information I gave you helps to complete the first. 2. After completing my education I’m going to start my career and also help my community in IT sphere. 3. I would like to stay for a particular time to use my knowledge to become a professional in Computer and Information Science. After that I will definitely return to my home country. 4. I think you can provide your ideas because my English is not very good to write about that.

A.
I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs,
Acknowledging none else, not parent, wife, husband, brother, child, any nearer than I am, Some are baffled, but that one is not that one knows me.
Ah lover and perfect equal.
I meant that you should discover me so by faint indirections, And I when I meet you mean to discover you by the like in you.
B.
— In every every area I consider important you have my support.
— In some place deep inside of you you still think I’m sick. Isn’t that right? Okay. Define it for me. What do you mean by “sick”? Sick unhealthy? Sick perverted? Sick, I’ll get over it? Sick to be locked up?
— I think you’ve adjusted to life quite well.
— All things considered. In the only area I consider important I don’t have your support at all. The single-minded determination of all you people to forever see us as sick helps keeps us sick.
— I saw how unhappy you were!
— So were you! You wound up going to shrinks, too. We grew up side by side. We both felt pretty much the same about Mom and Pop. I refuse to accept for one more second that I was damaged by our childhood while you were not.
C.
Wait. It gets worse. The hospital doctors refused to examine him to put a cause of death on the death certificate, and without a death certificate the undertakers wouldn’t take him away, and neither would the police. Finally, some orderly comes in and stuffs Albert in a heavy-duty GLAD bag and motions us with his finger to follow and he puts him out in the back alley with the garbage. He says, “Hey, man. See what a big favor I’ve done for you, I got him out, I want fifty bucks.”
D.
Lets make fierce love on the overstuffed, hand-me-down sofa. We can burn it up, too. Our hungers
will evaporate like money.
E.
Come,
as once when you heard my far- off cry and, listened, stepped
from your father’s house to your gold car, to yoke the pair whose beautiful thick-feathered wings oaring down mid-air from heaven carried you to light swiftly
on dark earth; then, blissful one, smiling your immortal smile
you asked, What ailed me now that made me call you again? What was it that my distracted
heart most wanted?
F.
–We can’t send them out.
— We have to if we want anybody to come to the dance. They were late from the printers as it is.
— We can go through and scratch out the word with a Magic Marker.
— Ten thousand times? Look, I feel sympathy for young guys still living at home on Long Island with their parents, but most men getting these…Look at you, in your case what difference does it make? You live alone, you own your own apartment, your mother lives in another state…
— What about my mailman?
G.
on the tips of her breasts on her navel and my breath howling into her entrances through lungs of pain.
Greedy as herring-gulls
or a child
I swing out over the earth over and over again.
H.
I am so sick of statistics, and numbers, and body counts, …; and every day, there are more numbers, and fights — I am so sick of fighting, and bragging about fighting and everybody’s stupidity, and blindness, and intransigence, and guilt trips. You can’t eat the food? Don’t eat the food. Take your poison. I don’t care. You can’t get off the floor — fine, stay there. I don’t care. Fish — fish is good for you; we don’t want any of that, do we? (Item by item, he throws the food on the floor). No green salad. No broccoli; we don’t want any of that, no, sir. No bread with seven grains. Who would ever want milk? You might get some calcium in your bones. (The carton of mild explores when it hits the floor).
