I want to join Year Up because the program appeals to many of my interest. I believe that Year Up is a good program for me. I am young and very devoted to learning new things and I believe the whole purpose of Year Up to give us youth the skills and training we need to achieve our personal goals. Year Up is a way for me to gain entry-level skills in the growing field of technology. I believe that I am a good candidate for Year Up because of my determination, hard working mindset, and personal values that will contribute to the Year Up program.
Imagine this, the climbers had finally made it to the top of the world after overcoming the many obstacles that stood in their way. They and many others would have believed that hiking through snowy blizzards and icy conditions would be difficult, but most would not expect to see broken tents, oxygen tanks, and dead bodies along the way. In the 2013 article, “Maxed Out on Everest”, experienced mountain climber and National Geographic sponsor, Mark Jenkins, faced this new reality when climbing Mt. Everest for the second time. Throughout the article, he recognized the ambition of the climbers and the Nepali government that oversaw the operations, as well as the challenges created by them, saying “it’s not simply about reaching the summit but also showing respect for the mountain and
Furthermore, it can be argued the Federal Government was responsible for the advancement of civil rights for African-Americans from 1880-1980 because the Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education was a ground-breaking Supreme Court case dealing with busing students to promote integration in public schools in 1971. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system had more than 84,000 students in 107 schools in the 1968-1969 school year and there was an estimation of 24,000 Negros among those. Of the 24,000 Negros, about 14,000 attended 21 schools that were at least 99% Negro. This showed that desegregation was still needed in the city of Charlotte. It was first argued on 12 October 1970 but was officially decided on 20 April 1971.
Through this program I will get to know more of my peers that I might not always interact with. I can gain a better a knowledge of who they are. I will best serve as a member
I think that I should be chosen for Link Crew because I am always able to help out, give directions to lost freshmen, influence them in a positive manner, and be a kind upperclassman. I get good grades, I’m in all honors classes, I participate in a sport year round, inside and outside of school. I am involved in Calling all Colors here at Mona Shores High School, which is a group about tolerance and accepting other, and teaching others at our school how to make everyone feel equally welcome. I plan to keep in touch with my 9th graders by doing little things for them through the year, like dropping off little items to their classes; just like I was given as a freshman. I plan to say hello in the hallways and let them all know on August 31st, for freshman orientation that if they every have any questions, that I am easy to get ahold of.
The boys and girls club has many great sports activities to join in to help get kids out of the street and become more active in their community. They are there for you when you need them the most and you make so many new positive friends through the activities they have. Camp voyageur was my favorite camp they made you feel wanted and you never felt left out the camp leaders helped you become a leader and made you feel more independent. Boys and girls club have shown me a lot in life and I want to further my education so that someday I can give back to them. With all of my reasons why I want to further my education the most important reason is so I can give back to my family and community one day.
My first summer phase was the turning point in my life because it showed everyone that I could do it on my own. Campus is my favorite place to be because I love the freedom to do as I wish and the enjoyment of accepting and being accepted by others. Much like the metamorphosis of young caterpillars into butterflies, I, too, went through an experience that allowed me to break free of my
“The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.” Ray L. Wilber’s statement is one I came to realize after becoming a summer camp counselor for girls ages seven to twelve. Only in my first few days as a counselor, my eyes were forced open to see the greatness inside each of my campers. For some children these gifts only need nurtured; others require assistance in uncovering their distinction. Here in lies my passion: to convince each child I meet of his or her infinite potential.
I believe I should be selected for the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Scholarship because I am not the typical high school senior. When it comes to my education, I go about and beyond expectations. My desire to do my best in school shows consistently year after year. I put in equal amount of effort when it comes to my after school activities and community involvement. I was told at a young age that education was the key to success and from that point on I made it my main priority not to be the average student among those that settle for less but to be a outstanding student that rises to every occasion to take advantage of my education.
Over the past three decades’ educational leadership has been in search of ways to increase student literacy in urban middle schools in the southeast sections of the District of Columbia. The quest to closing achievement gaps in urban school districts have and will always be an on-going issue for educational leadership (Daly & Chrispells, 2008). Findings from research studies suggest that school leadership accounts for fully one quarter of total school effects on pupils, making it second only to classroom instruction among school-based factors affecting student achievement (Leithwood, Louis, Anderson & Wahlstrom, 2004). There are certain challenges that middle school principals face that pertain only to these middle school principals due to
My Senior Honors Project consists of researching the lack of resources within Native communities for special needs children. To begin with, my universal theme is special needs children. By doing research for my visual presentation, I learned a lot about other culture’s worldview on special needs children and I also concluded my culture’s worldview--both in my Native American community and in the state of New Mexico. One of the many things that I learned about my topic, my culture’s worldview and other communities’ worldview is that everything is perceived differently.
The first reason is that it will grant me the opportunity to provide for not only myself but also the family that I wish to have in the future. Another reason that I should be admitted into the Fortis College Dental Hygiene program is the fact that it will provide me with the opportunity to help others. One of my goals in life has always been to be able to help at least one person a day. By granting me admission into the Dental Hygiene program, I will be able to accomplish this goal in more ways than one. Lastly, another reason that I should be accepted into the Dental Hygiene program is that I am a fast learner, I am goal-oriented, punctual, positive, and ambitious.
Why do you want to participate in the Bridges Summer Program? Participating in the Bridges Summer Program will help me greatly in the transition between high school and college. Reading about the program I have learned that this program is meant to help students transition to a college-level work environment and I know that I need this type of help. The good thing about this program is that they help students individually and this way students will have a better chance at really being prepared to start college in the fall.
You could also meet many new people and you get to learn a lot, or learning things you love. From (www.moneycrashers.com), from a decent college student it says, “I met many of my best friends while I was at college, and I even met my spouse while working at summer internship for college students. These people have shaped my life tremendously and have helped me grow as a person.” So, college students have made relationships with other people that affect each other’s lives in a great decent
Part of attending college is experiencing new things and meeting new people. Miami-Dade College holds students from all over the world and the college friendships I am making today are extremely important since most college friendships are long lasting. I strongly believe the experiences I will have in college will make a significant difference in my life. Along with making new friends, the college experience will offer me the opportunity to do some networking as well. Many successful people that have graduated from colleges and universities have credited their success to the connections they made while studying and I truly believe those connections made in the school will facilitate the job search.
