The most character building experience in my life was when I joined the National Junior Honor Society in middle school. Engaging in NJHS has molded me into honing the attributes of leadership, citizenship, scholarship, service, and character. For instance, involving myself in community service like Relay For Life, not only aided me with the chance to assist my community but has helped me to develop citizenship and service. Furthermore, being in the organization has made me realize that I can assume the role of leadership and guide my fellow classmates by being a role model. Consequently, I became further aware of the importance of education and have been gradually becoming, increasingly studious.
I undertook the role of serving on the Elections Board Committee and intended to put forth my full effort into a position I had the privilege of receiving. In my experience being a student leader, I have not lead others on a statewide level nor had any impact on this level. The role I campaigned for and won elevated my passion for leadership. Being given a platform in which I was allowed to spread my ability to advocate was an event that significantly made me who I am today. My responsibilities were to cooperatively work with a group of students and reenact an official voting for roles in government.
Throughout high school I have participated in many different activities and programs, but one of the opportunities I was given I will carry with me forever. As a junior at River Valley I participated in the Marion General Teen Volunteer Program. After interviewing and being placed in the physical therapy unit I took the opportunity to branch out into other areas of the hospital. I soon made my way to the labor and delivery floor where everyday a miracle happened. My duties while volunteering included assisting the nurses during hearing checks, changing diapers, and rocking crying infants in special care.
My ultimate endeavor since attending community college has been my involvement in school, specifically with Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. As an engineering major I am limited to a diminutive amount of free time, due to the quantity and difficulty of my classes. However, this limitation and the fact that my ride to school is a two hour trip on public transportation, has not stopped me from participating in extracurricular activities. Applying my time management and responsibility skills that I acquired from taking several math base classes at the same time, I managed to become a member of clubs and attain leadership roles. I first became the Vice President of Service, for Phi Theta Kappa and organized service events on campus and outside of campus.
Likewise, I was never aware of the tremendous amount of happiness and sense of togetherness that comes with seeing the faces of students enjoying our sponsored events and other organizations hearing about our efforts on campus. Being the president of SHAC has truly been a blessing to me and has opened my eyes to my true potential as a leader. I no longer shy away from speaking in front of large groups, question whether or not to share my opinions on topics and believe that there is only one way to successfully accomplish a goal. Although I would love to say that SHAC has helped Brady Health and students here on campus, I know that it is being in SHAC that has truly helped me. I have developed into a person that I would not have recognized during my early days as a college student if it has not been for this leadership role.
I led twenty-two students during their first year of college to provide them success as students. I co-taught a class that focused on study skills, UNK resources, and involvement on campus. My ability to communicate and adapt to the diversity of the class was shown through creating different learning activities to employ in the classroom. I exemplified team work by collaborating with another instructor. Through my experience as a Peer Academic Leader, I was able to hold two counseling sessions with each student per semester to provide myself as a resource.
Previously, I traveled down to Delaware Technical Community College to attend a leadership conference involving The Special Olympics of Delaware. I have recently applied to attend this year's New Castle County Vo Tech's Unity Day with other high schools in the district, and another Fall Leadership Conference in Dover, Delaware. Currently, I am the Captain for St. George’s Junior Varsity Volleyball team. This leadership opportunity helps me take charge of my team and guide them to success in the sport. My knowledge from previously playing, and my responsibility on the court helped push me to this position.
I encouraged new ideas- such as finding easier ways to improve fundraising- into meetings that would be beneficial to my class. I have set an example for my class by aiding with the pep rally-as well as participating in it- and helping to organize the Sophomore Semi. Being able to lead in these activities gave me a
I have participated in our fashion innovators club since I was in my first semester. I am also the president of the museum club. By being the president of the museum club, I have had to organize and book field trips and gain approval of trips from our student government. I have also earned the Student Activities Award for my contributions, participation and GPA. I was 1 of eight selected from 30 students to participate in the 2015 design wars at roosevelt field.
Throughout my high school career, I was forced into many situations where I was challenged to connect with my peers and serve as a role model for future students. Whether it be my involvement in the school marching band, or helping students in community tutoring sessions, I have always made it my goal to better the people around me through my own efforts. Throughout my high school career, I have put forth my best effort to connect with my peers, transform individuals, and make a difference in my community. Joining the school marching band at the beginning of my freshman year of high school was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Last week was Homecoming, and it was an entertaining week. In my opinion it was the best Homecoming I ever experienced, but my favorite event was the Womanless Pageant. It’s a pageant where the boys dressed up like girls and walked around the gym and have a good time. I participated in the pageant this year and had a blast. When I first heard about I didn’t want to join but I lost a bet and had no choice.
This girl and I had a friendship so deep. If I thought something she said before I got a chance to. We went everywhere together. It was like we were joined at the hip in a weird way. I was always there when she needed me whether the issue was important or not so serious.
My self-actualization had inspired me to the same for the members of my beloved club. The title of president did not lead me to believe I was higher than my fellow members. The freshmen from early September would not have grown if the club did not make her feel like she was part of family. My contribution the Monroe College Community were my two helping hands.
I`ve learned how important outreach within the community is and how it helps motivate those without a role model or resources. I know that everyone has a story. And being a part of the journalism program and becoming a success would be a part of my story one day. I will take great responsibility in completing the journalism program with my best
From contesting for this position to getting elected and working for betterment of my house group, I gained a lot of experience and self-confidence and became more responsible. Being a vice captain, I played an important role in addressing and motivating students, advising and helping them, and earning points for my group by participating in many competitions alone or in a team. I also served as the student voice of the school to a variety of external and internal constituents. The student council served as a bridge between the students and the school heads and administration.
