Thanks all!
Lol, to Buck- the rest of the sentence is "...aid the MUN team on its path to success."

no, no comma is required after determination as "and" is after that.

Comma or no comma. It doesn't matter anymore. It used to be there had to be a comma but rules have changed. If I can make a suggestion though. I would chage your sentence to " I am determined and dedicated and will work hard to lead...."
I took a class in this sort of thing. On writing a proper resume and how to be professional at an interview. It's all about sounding confident in yourself. Be as confident and positive as possible.

Hard work would not be hyphenated. No comma. The rule is an "and" takes the place of a comma.
BTW, is the rest of the sentence: ... "be told by my government what is best for me"?

The comma after determination is optional.

When two words are connected by the word "and" there is no need to put a comma before "and." Therefore, no comma after "determination."

optional...in a series, a comma is put after each part.
The part of the series directly before the conjunction (AND) can have a comma. It is your choice of style.
Whichever style you use should be continued if there is another series in the same compostion.

No comma there. Your sentence is correct, except that 'hard work' should not have a hyphen.

I say yes, even though you don't have too. I remember being taught that way in school, so that's what I stick with it. It bugs me when there isn't a comma there.

yes, comma after determination

No, not necessary. Also lose the hyphen between hard and work.
You would use the hyphen if you were talking about a "hard-working person."
