Analysis Of Punahou's First Ice Skating Club

Life is full of little meaningful events and experiences, they go so unnoticed that we don't realize they can change our lives forever. Sometimes those little moments can mean so much more than what they seem. One way an experience can develop into something meaningful is when you can express it in a way to help others. This experience for me was when I won SGA Vice President. Being Vice President today is a challenge and a blessing. As SGA Vice-president I am responsible for the activities of the entire school. When I accepted the position of Vice President my abilities were tested to the fullest, this leadership role forced more responsibilities such as public speaking, calling meetings, and developing strategies under difficult circumstances. For instance,

Growing up, I have been an individual who has pushed myself beyond the minimum requirements in order to succeed. In high school I excelled in both academics and athletics. I graduated in the top 10% of my class and lettered in hockey and tennis my sophomore, junior, and senior year. I worked hard and put in extra time in order to set myself apart from others. Succeeding in both school and athletics made me a responsible, reliable, and an organized individual. These experiences made me a versatile individual and have given me a work ethic that has benefited me with my academics in college and with my work and volunteer experiences.

In conclusion, I was able to express myself, relate to my peers, and make many memorable experiences. All of these things helped shape the person I am today. However, not all experiences were pleasant. During the sixth grade all state choir, a girl fell down and started having seizures. I did not know who she was; I had never met her. Nevertheless, I felt curiously concerned for her wellbeing. I will never forget that experience. After the incident, we had a closer

From this club I’ve learned people assemble and assisting each other on a project, can be very refreshing. Our club works together, getting certain things accomplished. However; all of us learn the same thing at the same time. I’ve also learned you don’t have to be rewarded for every good thing you do in life, sometimes the most rewarding things are just doing it in the first place. And I participating in theaters and know that I am a helpful person when it comes to helping people remembering their lines. And also I worked at the church café and learned my leadership skills there as well I have also applied it everywhere I go.

There’s so many obstacles I’ve had to overcome. People have always doubted my success, due to my background. Yet, I’ve done nothing than prove their state of mind wrong. I’m a first generation student through high school to college. My aspiration is to be successful and be the leader in the pact.

Over the years I have encountered many road blocks, none of which I hadn’t been able to overcome. My freshman year I had been cut from the volleyball team after working so hard over the summer to improve my skills. I admit, I felt extremely put down by this turn of events but if that had never happened, I wouldn’t have found the sport I love more, cross country. On top of that, I received and application for National Honors Society last year, and I was ecstatic. However, when I didn’t quite make it in, there was a determination in me to find a way to better improve the skills required to qualify to be a part of this amazing group of people. Those events shaped my character deeply. I also had the amazing opportunity to go on a mission trip to

For example, At first, I was in FBLA this year but didn’t really enjoy it. I was confused and didn’t know what to do. I thought about quitting, but I stuck it out because I didn’t want to let the rest of my group down. We didn’t make it to state; however, I realized just how much fun I had, and now I’m going to go out next year. I also showed dependability during dance.

in high school some challenges did approach me, I did not let myself down and I was determined

My project was to tutor YMCA student at North Miami elementary. One of my many duties was help as many students that I can. I tutor student from Pre-K-5th grade during my share time in the YMCA. I started this project during my 9th grade year. My whole intension of this community project was to get it over with so I can graduate. Never did I know that I would later enjoy spending my time with the YMCA students. I grew to understand student. I gave them a voice. During my time in the YMCA I grew a stronger leadership skill. Before I started working on my project I took the time to plan it out. I told myself since the beginning that I want to volunteer in the YMCA. The first step that I took was to contact the site director. Second step I took

I have a strong work ethic, the ability to encourage others and articulate ideas confidently. I embrace challenges and understand that the ability to learn from mistakes is a growth opportunity. There is always something to learn from others and it is important to welcome new ideas. I strongly believe these combination of values and traits underpin who I am and play a crucial role in how I interact with people, develop ideas, and address challenges. As unique as my fingerprints, the combination of the character traits that I have gained from my experiences propel me to strive to overcome obstacles, accomplish goals, and position me well to make significant gains and contributions as a student at Towson University and

Last year, I was struck by an epiphany about how to react to the troubles of life because of a simple cheer competition in Dallas. At the time however, it was not just a "simple competition." Placing first in the Dallas Spirit Festival was imperative to not only me, but also my team. It was so important to us we practiced for hours on end, day in and day out to ensure our routine was perfect. Going into the competition, we were all very nervous but by the end of this experience I was able to discover something I never realized before; something that would change my outlook on life forever.

People have different interpretations of what success may mean to them. In the article, “Leave No Child Behind” by Marian Wright Edelman, the author explains many lessons on the steps to become successful. According to some, success is measured by social status and wealth. I agree with Edelman’s lessons that there is no free lunch, we should not be afraid of taking risks or being criticized, and we should never think that life is not worth living. I agree that there is no such thing as free lunch.

One of the most life changing failures of my life was not being selected to become an Ambassador for my school for my junior year. At Mount Carmel, being selected as an Ambassador means that you are the most rounded students in the school. Less than half of the students who apply are selected to serve. As I was going through the application process my sophomore year, I thought that I hit all the boxes to become an Ambassador. I was a good student, active in multiple clubs, and I was emerging as a leader in my grade. When I found out I was not accepted to be an Ambassador for junior year, I was heartbroken. I sulked for a while, not understanding why I was not selected. Many of my friends were chosen to become Ambassadors. I kept on comparing myself to them, thinking they had something I did not.

During the summer after my junior year, I attended the Michigan American Legion Auxiliary Girls State program at Michigan State University, which is a program aimed at helping young ladies become better citizens. I had to once more leap out of my comfort zone to attend this program, but I had no idea what was in store for me once I got there. During the short week I attended Girls State, I discovered who I was and who I could be. My newly made friends encouraged and pushed me to aim higher and try harder. They supported me while I swallowed my nerves before giving many speeches to over 300 girls. The girls there taught me to fight through my fears and go for things, even when failure ensued. I lost elections, stumbled in speeches, and did not make positions I hoped to, but still they wanted me to keep going. I discovered that failure was okay, and my friends still supported me and encouraged me to keep going after failure. I learned that, by taking that leap, I could accomplish things I had only ever imagined

The athletic training program at my school, many times our supervisor would let us take the lead when it came to treating a patient and diagnosing them. The biggest obstacle I face through this was doubting my confidence. One time as we were on watch during a game, a player had fallen and was in great pain. I was the next in line to go with the trainer to help the player, when we approached I began to feel my confidence dwindle. Yet I knew I had a duty to the player and was able to overcome this barrier.
