fun playing beach volleyball and surfing on our boogie boards. Sadly, there was a storm coming, but the good part was that we were getting homemade spaghetti for dinner. The following day we we are heading our way to see NASA. On the way there we saw a huge cruise ship, it was pretty cool. When we got to NASA, they recently changed things and now on no visitors are allowed inside the museum only people who are in the military now can go.
However, though I understood that the organization stood for volunteerism within a community, initially I didn’t comprehend the message hidden behind Key Club’s reputation. Key Club is a service organization dedicated to supporting its community and allowing it flourish during dark times. This realization came to me as I helped organize a memorial basketball tournament honoring a lost, but never forgotten community member, a family member. Key Club served to not only recognize, but emphasize this fact by honoring our own lost girl using her passions to drive the community past its grief towards remembrance. With YiPEE, I supported my community at both personal and economic levels.
I just called the Pro Shop, and reserved the 8:50 tee time for Tuesday, October 13th. The Men 's Club has taken all tee times from 9:00 until 9:40 that day. Carol and Sandi e-mailed that they wanted to play closer to 9:00, so I hope that 's not too early for you. Let me know if your plans change. Otherwise, I 'll check us in and then meet you in the parking lot prior to our tee time.
Amongst the plethora of extracurricular activities I am active in, The Key club, In regards to the community, has affected me by the greatest margin. Since my sophomore year, Key Club (A community service organization) has involved me in multiple projects ranging from making chew toys for the local animal shelter, to providing goodie bags for the soldiers at Fort Hood. However, it was not until my senior year that I realized how much a small coalition of students affected the community at large. This became apparent after receiving multiple personally written letters from our fire department and churches. Also, I found that football ties the local community together.
The five pillars of the National Junior Honors Society have greatly affected my middle school experience. Throughout my three years here at Wisdom Lane I have strived to use the pillars as a way of my school life. Inside and outside of school I have strived to widen my educational path by using different programs and doing great in my classes. I have always attempted to go above and beyond in what I do and in my relationships with others. I have made many friends and have learned a lot about them in the amount of time given.
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
Our members sacrifice hours upon hours of their time to help make the quality of the high school and community experience better for
As a member of Key Club I was a strong contributor to the volunteer opportunities that arose, (i.e. Beach Cleanup, Trick or Treat for UNICEF). In my third year of high school, I became the secretary of the School Improvement Committee. As the secretary, I was responsible for making sure all of the meetings ran smoothly and were recorded for future use. Along with these club activities, I have volunteered for many of the teachers and staff in the school. Such activities included filing, running papers to classrooms, and helping out during school activities.
As a freshman who was simply looking to get involved in his school's organizations, I could not have imagined just how much joining the Key Club would impact my life in the long run. My involvement in the Kiwanis Key Club was invaluable to my growth during my high school years because it served as a link to my community and an opportunity to exercise valuable leadership skills. The Kiwanis Key Club served as a bridge to my community during my time in high school, allowing me to serve and learn about various parts of my local town. Key Club familiarized me with various areas in Gainesville that I previously had no idea existed, including but not limited to the Gainesville Regional Airport and the Veterans of Foreign Wars buildings. I was able
Full Circle It was my senior year of high school and everything was going as planned. I had already been accepted into various colleges to study Math Education. This was the only career I had ever considered. Until now.
This psychological assignment requires us to break a social norm. In my case, I decided to break an appearance social norm. I thought in something weird, but at the same time really funny. Therefore, I entered to my little walking closet and I took the most brilliant and extravagant high heels shoes that I found to wear them at a place when people usually used flip flops.
Soon after I crawled out of my hole of self-pity, I thought to myself, “First thing’s first, I need to get a job so I can support us.” And that’s exactly what I did. I now work at Speedway, and even though it’s not exactly my dream job, thinking about Izzy makes every mess I clean up, dish I wash, and every insane ranting customer worth it. I wake up every morning, and put on my uniform with pride, and gratitude that I have a way to provide for her. Having Izzy has forced me to learn pivotal values in life, such as responsibility, self-worth, selflessness, hard work, and keeping a positive attitude.
Joining Key Club this year has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my high school career. The summer before senior year, I started volunteering at Chelsea Public Library with the intention of joining Key Club when the school year started. With 18 hours of community service under my belt I was determined to complete my 100 hours of community service by the end of senior year. Most members have three to four years to complete these hours, and as a senior, I was trying to accomplish what most would think impossible. The skills I have learned from Key Club will carry me throughout life and will help me aid others in the future.
It makes me feel good to help students who are struggling at a new school, just like I was when I first began attending. Because of my time working in the club, I
There we were, we had gone to Lake Bemidji State Park to talk and get to know one another better, it wasn’t the first time we had gotten together to talk. A few days before we had had a mini fight where I was nervous because I honestly hadn’t trusted you. But I had decided to get to know you better.
