Deca Personal Statement

473 Words2 Pages

In grade 11, I was introduced to the DECA club. DECA is an international organization involving students in business leadership and networking with other DECA clubs that share similar business interests, learning skills and goals. The DECA competition component involves a written exam and case study presentation, tailored to a specific business category. Teams are clustered by a school, where students may compete individually or in a partnership. My high school started DECA for the first time in 2014 and I thought, what better opportunity to pursue my interest in business than to become a founding member of this program at my school. In my first year of the program, I placed in the Top 10 in the Business Law and Ethics category, advancing from …show more content…

Having experience with the DECA community, we are driven with a goal to place at Regionals in order to earn us another spot at Provincials. Additionally, our returning team set as a goal to increase the awareness of and expand the membership of our club. Through conversation, we reached out to other students, sharing the highlights of the club and successfully doubled the size of the competing team. One of my own friends was so intrigued with my experience, they joined as well. We successfully placed in the Top 10 this year at Regionals, once again advancing to Provincials in February 2016. Our effort to involve students of all grades and ages continues and the progress we have made in the last two years is evidenced by the 15 competitors we are sending from our small yet expanding club to the Provincial level. In addition to our weekly club meetings and competition opportunities, our team chose to reach out and build a relationship within the school and the Port Perry community. This year we have partnered with the school yearbook team to contribute to the design, creation, and marketing of the book. My job, specifically, is to market and publicize in order to get it sold. This partnership allows DECA members to apply our business skills, which include marketing a project, as well as continues to grow the school’s awareness of the

ASMSA Personal Statement

399 Words | 2 Pages

I believe the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Science, and the Arts is the right place to continue my studies, because I love how the classes are based on the U of A academic system and that ASMSA offers an opportunity to obtain advanced college level knowledge before high school graduation. That being said, ASMSA still has a college life atmosphere which I think prepares the students to be more adjusted to what real college will be like. I also enjoy the fact that your professors are eager to help at almost any given time. On top of that, ASMSA will teach me viable skills like researching skills, time management skills, and self-discipline, also it will give me the great privilege of graduating with at least 30 concurrent hours which will

Science National Honor Society Application Essay

522 Words | 3 Pages

After summer break, I returned to Westlake High School for my junior year, feeling as if something was missing. The decision to spearhead the creation of a chapter of the Science National Honor Society (SNHS) at my school arose because of my desire to establish a niche where high school students could express their shared passion for the sciences. The SNHS would provide enlightening scientific activities and opportunities for students, and the Science club would serve as a path to introduce members into the society. I initially proposed the creation of the society in a meeting with the Principal and Board of Education. Quite a few obstacles had to be overcome to start a new organization in the school.

Like a wolf pack, we strove to assure that no one was abandoned and that everyone felt that they had a secure place and role in the NDA community. I learned that it is essential for a leader to relinquish control but at times, put in the hard work to finish a task when needed.

I am very interested in attending the College of Literature, Science and the Arts. The University of Michigan has an international reputation and is ranked highly amongst its peers. The rankings and the impressive cast of alumni makes the university seem rather daunting and out of reach. I am applying despite its intimidating statistics for two reasons. Firstly, LSA students are encouraged to think creatively and find solutions to the world's problems by combining art, language and the sciences together instead of treating them as subjects that have no correlation.
