A strong work ethic, a fierce focus, an attention to detail, and a strong desire for success…these are some of the qualities that make Miss Elizabeth Peck a very special young lady. I have known Elizabeth for two and a half years as her classroom teacher and Beta Club advisor. In every interaction that I have had with Elizabeth, she has been the picture of maturity and class. She is an extraordinary young lady who has proven that persistence is the most reliable indicator of success.
It was the last inning in our all-star game, and we were losing 10 to 8. Our team had 2 outs and we couldn’t get the third. Our pitcher was doing bad, throwing all balls, while all of us in the field were tired, ready to fall asleep at any moment. There goes another walk. They score again.
“Beta club is not for everyone, it is just for those who want to be leaders.” That is exactly why I want to be a member of the Beta club. I want to be a leader. The Beta club is an opportunity giving program, which will give us the chance to serve others and be around others who are different from us. The Beta club can open up many students’ hearts and convey their dreams to the world.
The National Beta Club is an organization that promotes multiple attributes that are required for a successful future. These qualities are listed in the mission statement as the following: achievement, character, leadership, and service. Each of these characteristics has been ingrained in my personality as I have participated in Beta over the past four years, and I believe that I am more prepared to take on future endeavors because of it. First, I never would have been selected for Beta Club if it were not for the sense of achievement I already had.
Kappa Gamma Pi is a prestigious honor society that only a select group of student’s quality to apply for membership. It is a great honor to be offered the opportunity to become a part of an honor society that has an emphasis on excellence in leadership. Throughout my college career at St Joseph’s College and within my daily life I strived to achieve excellence. Leadership is an essential skill one must obtain especially within my program of study, Child Study. A teacher acts as a role model, and guide for their students.
Many posses the commitment to the qualities of scholarship, leadership, service, and character, but how one uses them shows the core of their disposition. For each of these qualities, there are many traits, useful in a leader, and not. Since it is only my second year as a student at Carlsbad High School, there has not been much time of my being distracted from my school work as I try to be as diligent of a student as possible. However, from time to time, I take a break and do things for the community instead. The students that make up the National Honor Society are extremely dedicated in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character, and I would be very grateful to be a part of the standards.
The National Honor Society is a nationwide organization that is used to recognize high school students for their outstanding achievements, as well as guide them along the path to a successful future. As a new student to Quantico Middle/High School this year, I believe that I could be a great addition to the school’s National Honor Societies club. Being apart of this club would not only help built my college application in the future, but also teach me good social skills, teamwork capabilities, and leadership development. Both leadership and character contribute to a person’s qualification to join the National Honor Society. These qualities set the foundation for a good person in society and leads them down a successful road.
Beta Club is considered a service organization. Each semester, Beta Club members are required to complete ten hours of service. To some people, Beta Club is something they are involved with because all of their classmates seem to be involved with it, but to others like me, Beta Club holds a much greater meaning. Beta Club is a way to find people in need right in our own community.
To me, service, leadership, and character mean sacrificing your time in order to benefit others,expecting nothing in return. Often leaders are the ones who perform the unwanted tasks with no recognition, wanting only to help others by their actions, Leaders are often driven by their considerate character - exemplary moral qualities that they exhibit, such as patience and persistence, often inspire others around them to become leaders, too. I would like to be in National Honors Society to challenge myself to become more involved in the community. There are innumerable opportunities to benefit the Lansing area and the school, which I look forward to take part in. Additionally, I would like to be in National Honors Society to join a group in
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.
By taking on leadership roles such as being president of environmental club and public relations of class council, I am a mentor to others all while sharing the same interests and providing opportunities for them to build their own character. Prior to this school year, I was fortunate enough to attend a weeklong event called Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, where I lived there for a week surrounded by young leaders from all over south jersey. In this experience, I learned that being a leader means being understanding of others and their situations. With this experience I was able to bring back what I learned to my own communities like environmental club. Not only do I have to be organize and communicative, but I also have to be a role model to members of a club by showing my own good character.
Secondly, since my grade nine year in high school I have been greatly involved in many clubs/groups. Such as the peace club, peer mentor, peer ambassadors, SHSM, and Arts Huron Dance. With regards to my efforts of demonstrating various forms of leadership due to the countless opportunities provided to me, the width of knowledge obtained has given the capability for applying to any situation. For example, because of my participation inside the SHSM executive club, I have gained exceptional communicational skills through leading grade nine and ten classes by running presentations on what SHSM is, how to apply, what each sector is, how it makes a student stand out later on in life, and plenty more. On the other hand, my association with the peace
Goal Number One I didn’t know it yet, but the way I viewed the game of lacrosse was about to change drastically. It was a normal day for me. I was in eighth grade, and I was getting ready for school.
Every Moment Counts I hug her knowing that this will be our last. Tears are streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks, staining her shirt. I'm not ready to say goodbye. I don't understand why this is happening. Out all of the 7.28 billion people in the world, why did it have to be her?
These range from the National Honor Society, Student Council, and Beta Club. These clubs have given me the opportunity to practice my leadership by chairing service projects and contributing my ideas to better the school and the community. They have also allowed me to serve others through tutoring, donating, and
