You can join academic clubs based on your major or social club based on your hobbies or interest. Some examples of these clubs are: Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), Art Club, Biology Club, Show Choir, Concert Band, and Jazz band. There is also a large amount of Fraternities and Sororities. Joining a fraternity or sorority can give you the leadership skills you need for your future. As a high school senior, you can also enroll in dual credit classes to receive college credit from Missouri Valley.
According to Elizabeth Hoyt being in a one of these organizations can get you far in life as long as you stay focused. The
In High school as well as in college, clubs and organizations have played a big role in my extracurricular activities. Currently, I belong to the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK), The Psychology Club and I am the former secretary of The Sign Language Club at Bergen Community College. My extracurricular experience has provided me with leadership, group working, and problem-solving skills that I apply on a day to day basis. If given the opportunity to attend Rutgers University, I would like to be part of the Seeing Eye Puppy Raising Club, The Active Minds Club and to join a Fraternity. In the past, I have worked with special needs individuals and it has brought a tremendous sense of fulfillment to my life, while at Rutgers I would like to continue these activities by raising eye seeing puppies for the blind and educating people on mental health disorders through The Active Minds
By active community service, leadership roles, and hard work, I have learned the incredible importance of academic achievement, character, leadership, and service. Through these things, I have been substantially prepared by the Beta Club to serve others as I depart high school and
Students will learn and comprehend the importance of college, which will motivate them to graduate high school and start their journey after. Knowing about all these things are important benefits that students will learn from attending and participating in these types of
My junior year I joined this club called DECA which prepares future entrepreneurs for finance, marketing, hospitality, and management in high school and in college. Students compete against other students in different categories. I decided to do DECA because I really liked all of the
Chess, national honor society and interact became my archer towers, moats and peasants. Taking these other clubs helped me become more involved in my personal interests as well as societal interests. As chess club president with a dying club, I managed to increase membership from 5 to 23 but not without bringing trophies to our high school. My interaction with volunteers helped bring me to a different aspect of society that I would have acknowledged but never understood, the
For example, I am an active member of the FPC band. I have met a lot of new people being in that club that helped inspire me to make a bigger impact in my community. As I begin volunteering more time outside of school I realized how much I enjoyed dedicating my time to help those around me. Motivating others to do the same then became my goal for my future. My intelligence and intellect are also very important to me and thus have led me to this situation.
I never went to those because that is when I was busy. Nowadays it is not what you can do, but who do you know in the business world and not networking hurts you. While I am here and when I go home, network with as many people as I can. Another threshold is not knowing where to start after I am done with school. I have a year left of school and I plan to do my master’s but after that, I do not know where to go from there.
While in high school, I was a member of our school’s chapter of the National Honor Society, the Varsity baseball team, a part-time lifeguard for our school pool, a math tutor for students in need, and I was on the Community Education Student Advisory Board. My senior year I was lucky enough to be elected by my peers to be the president of my school’s chapter of the National Honor Society. This role helped me learn great leadership qualities and taught me how to work with people, both of which are great tools to have for the
Although this may sound like a benefit that is easily achievable, an individual has to be able to prove to their fellow peers that they are someone worthy to push for. It is easy to say that one is affiliated with a certain group but not having the respect from the other members does as much as an individual who is doing it by themselves. In terms of networking, being around and having influential friends who could help benefit in terms of aiding in job placement and internships, could be the deal breaker for many college students. Joining an organization that allows one to be around others who are similar to themselves; such as a sorority, could enhance not only an individual’s social status, but also help promote higher academic performance, and achieve a better outcome in terms of networking.
It has always been important to me that I be well involved in my school; by doing this, I am putting myself in many positions in which I can have a leadership role in a club or organization. One of the organizations that I participated in and eventually had a leadership position was DECA. I was a member as a sophomore and I was elected to be the store manager my junior year. As the store manager it was my responsibility to run the store that held school supplies and snacks that would sell to my peers. It was also my job
One of my goals that I wish to accomplish in college is to graduate. I am already getting good grades, and I am an AVID student. Being an AVID student, I research college, gain awareness on careers, learn what it takes to get to college etc. Some things that I could do to promote this goal could be, getting into clubs, and get into study groups. I would like to do study groups because it's kind of like tutors
There are three things that I have committed to my education during my time in high school. One, I’ve joined in programs that were successful to me such as Educational Talent Search (ETS), Future Farmers of America (FFA), Academy of Information Technology (AOIT), and National Honor Society (NHS). These programs are the programs that I have joined during my time in high school because they help me prepare and help me for college. ETS helps me to learn about things that are in college. For example, they tell me how a credit card works and what it do to us when
Being a freshman, I knew that I had to find some ways to become active in our community, so I joined Key Club, a club dedicated to volunteering for local non-profit organizations. Once, freshman year ended, I was recruited to join Eagle Renaissance, a club determined to shine a light on individuals that show substantial life skills every day. Junior year was troubling. Along with being inducted into National Honors Society (NHS), still being active as a Key Club member (Eagle Renaissance eventually was taken over by Student Council), and maintaining academic honors, I added a job to the equation. Working 20-25 hours a week on top of volunteering through NHS and Key Club was a strenuous process, but I was able to discover my pathway for my future, along with building a skill set that would benefit further than that of
