One of my college professors said on the first day of college, “We are all lifelong learners, and I hope the day you graduate from college isn’t the last day you learn something.” This statement really struck home to me, so I sat there and pondered what she meant by this. School is not only a gift, but it is also a tool that an individual will use for the rest of their lives. Not everyone on this planet, or in other words this country, are lucky enough to go to school until they are eighteen years old and some may not attend a single day of school in their whole lives. School is not only a privilege, but also a blessing. I myself have been lucky enough to not only attend high school, but also further my education at a four-year university. …show more content…

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 …show more content…

During the summer, I play on two different baseball teams, I coach one baseball team, I am a member of our local church, and I coordinate our local Summer Rec program. Baseball is one of my passions and it fills up much of my time during the summer. Coordinating our local Summer Rec program has had a great impact on my life. I was the coordinator during the summer of 2016 and I will also be coordinating again this upcoming summer of 2017.

One of my short-term goals is to maintain my standing in the National Honor Society for my senior year. To keep this honor I must maintain a 3.75 grade point average in high school. This goal will be tough to accomplish considering that I am taking nine hours of concurrent classes each semester at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. It is very difficult to make good grade in college while I am still in high school because of all the extra-curricular activities I am involved in. Most college students have to go to class until noon and then they have the rest of the day to do homework or study.

The National Honor Society (NHS), is defined as an organization established to recognize outstanding students. The organization does not only help you build leadership, but it also helps you build character. Leadership and character are one of the many things that our generation is lacking, and I would be pleased to develop more of it. The organization helps you also with community service, which looks good on college applications. If selected to the National Honor Society, I would contribute to the group by implementing good communication skills, being a leader and reacting when something doesn’t go as expected, and by voicing my opinion when is needed.

As a Freshman, I won the position of Treasurer- the first office I held in high school. The role educated me on the realities of being in leadership: mistakes are bound to happen, people will not always like the decisions made, and cooperating with a team requires effort from everyone. I saw the transition from being a member to an officer up close, and it is something I’d never take back. During 11th grade, I was elected Vice President of my FFA Chapter and FFA Section all the while becoming Vice President for Key Club too. Through Key Club, I had the opportunity to volunteer at local events throughout the valley including Relay-For-Life, Bowl-A-Thon, the Candy Cane Lane Parade, Food Link, March of Dimes, the Visalia Triathlon, and various elementary carnivals.

I was the vice president of the student government my freshman year in Antioch High School. I ran for vice president, because I wanted to become knowledgeable and a risk-taker. My school hosted a Red Cross blood drive, the Angel Tree Program by the Salvation Army, and Pasta for Pennies by Olive Garden. I was responsible for promoting these events to individuals and organizations within our school. The problem was that I did not perceive myself as an extroverted individual capable of communicating and informing individuals effectively about the various events.
