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
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
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
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
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
Joining the National Honor Society would be able to help me help others in ways we can’t even imagine. I constantly try to challenge myself academically, as best that I can. Throughout high school, I have taken all Honors classes and two APs, History and Biology. I cannot say that all of these classes come easy to me, but furthering my knowledge is a very important thing for me. I have spent endless hours on YouTube, Khan Academy, and Google trying to fully understand what I am
The National Honor Society helped me gain communication and confidence skills. It was where the top 20 percent of students gather together to volunteer and build leadership for their current clubs and future dreams. I enjoyed doing community services with this fantastic group because they have helped me become a better leader towards anything I wanted to be. While I was building my leadership I was also building my self-esteem. I was being more confident in meeting new people and giving out a speech in front of a huge crowd.
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.
Being granted the opportunity to study with the McWilliams program will aid in further enhancing my short and long-term goals in Bioinformatics and Clinical Research. To begin, my short-term goal is to deepen my expertise in this field. I aspire to refine my skills in data analysis, project management and healthcare administration, all while actively contributing to the development of healthcare solutions that improve patient outcomes and streamline processes. Primarily, I aim to develop skills and characteristics that are also valuable in real-world settings and particularly relevant within the healthcare bioinformatics domain.
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
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
