02 — Leadership Questions

We're not looking for the loudest voice in the room. We're looking for boys who are curious, committed, and ready to grow — across both pillars of Miri-Piri.

Question 1 of 2
What does being a leader mean to you? What from Sikhi influences how you think about leadership?
No right answer. No perfect Sikh story required. Just be real.
Question 2 of 2
Can you share a time when you helped motivate a friend, sibling, or classmate to achieve a goal?
This can be big or small — we're looking for how you show up for the people around you.
These questions are sent to you by email after you register. You can respond in writing or by video — whichever feels most like you. Both are equally valued.
