I am interested in becoming a LINK Leader for a second year because it is satisfying and exciting knowing that I am helping freshmen adjust to a huge, new school. LINK Leaders was extremely helpful when I was an incoming freshman, so I want to make the new students feel as welcome and as comfortable as I did. Throughout the year, it gives the freshman a familiar face to see in the halls. I really enjoyed getting to know my group of freshman and being a LINK Leader for a second year will give me the opportunity to get to know new underclassmen and connect with them. If I were a superhero I would want my power to be able to see the future. If I was able to see the future I would be able to stop a lot of bad events from occurring. Also, I do not like surprises, so it would be great to know when, where, and how certain things will happen. Although, being able to see the future could be scary, it would be exciting to know when big events will occur. Most of my after school activities include playing sports; swim in the fall, indoor track in the winter, and outdoor track in the spring. I also have a job at Moe’s in South Windsor. I am a part of the Interact Club, where I volunteer at school events as well as volunteer at …show more content…
My partner and I got all the students to share things about themselves that made them open up and feel comfortable with the group. I also was punctual to all of the mandatory monthly meetings, so that shows dedication. Lastly, I always had a positive attitude around my freshman from FFD, other LINK Leaders, and the LINK teachers. However, I did have weaknesses. When it was well into the school year, I did not do a good job communicating with them because I never really saw them, and when I did we were both passing through the halls to get to our next class. I could have emailed them periodically to check up on them, but I failed to do
I have been in a few school activities. One of the main activities that I have been involved in is Color guard. Since my sophomore year, I have been on the guard and participating in all of the competitions with the band. It is a great way to get involved, make new friends, and create new experiences. I am also in my school’s National Honor Society which is an organization that consists of the top academic scholars. We do volunteer work and do activities that display integrity. We have done blood drives as well as packaged food for Kids Against Hunger. That is another organization that people can do to help package food for children across seas that don’t have any source of nourishment. I am an active thespian which is a group of sorts that is dedicated to the fine arts. I have been one since my freshmen year and have been either stage manager or assistant stage manager for two plays and three musicals. My junior year as well as this year I was involved in National
I would like to join NYC Ladders for Leaders because it is a wonderful opportunity to gain valuable experience in the professional world. The pre-employment training which helps with resumes, cover letters and interviewing would be extremely helpful when I apply for positions in the future. Needless to say the summer internship will give me a lot of exposure to professional networks, working environments and insights into the industries. If I were to be selected for the program, I hope that in the end I would be able to better pinpoint my interests to help me decide on a career choice. Also I am hoping that the program will help me learn to better express myself in a working environment and build leadership characteristics that are essential
I want to become a Link Crew leader for a list of reasons. The first being that I was a part of WEB in Middle School and thought it was a great experience to help the incoming class feel comfortable in a new school, and wish to do it again in High School. The second being that I remember when I was a freshmen and how much Link Crew had helped me, I wish to return this by helping the next class of freshmen and passing
I want to be a Link Crew member because when I was an incoming freshman having a Link Crew leader was really helpful, and I want to be able to reciprocate that by joining the program. Some good qualities I have that would make me a good model for freshmen are that I am very communicative with others, I’m not afraid to be in uncomfortable situations, and I am very easy to get along with.
Theres many reasons why I would like to be a Link Crew Leader. The main reason I want to be a Link Crew Leader is because I want to a make a difference at valley and I feel that with the resources and advisors that Link Crew provides it would be possible to make a difference at valley. I also feel like the freshman students at valley aren't very informed about what’s going on and they need guidance to be able to get to know all the fun clubs and events that take place at our school. I love working with students because i can relate to them and I’m able to put myself in their shoes to help them out. Leadership to me it means when someone is the guidance of a group of people and also someone who has the skill to lead people to make the right
I want to become a Bank of America student leader I want to be a good leader but also a true leader, which is a leader that leads by example. In able to help my community and to encourage fellow students like myself, I have to set the foundation and example for them. By participating in the Student Leaders program, I can learn to become a better person, but more importantly, a better leader. As a senior preparing for graduation, it is critical that I understand where I intend to head in life. With this program, I think that it can provide me with an even more clarity about my goals and aspirations. I believe I should be chosen to be a Bank of America Student Leader because with my diverse background and skills, I believe I can be a great addition
I also have been on the LNHS cheer team for two years and plan on staying on the team for two more years. One more leadership position is my service learning project from my AP Human Geography class that I took freshman year. It required us to locally and globally influence people. For the local influence, I volunteered at UP Orlando for 32 hours when only 8 were required and my group volunteered about 140 in total, granting us the AP with WE Direct Service Learning Award for the most hours out of every other group in the school. For the global influence, my group and I sold wristbands to neighbors and raised over $400 to send to a small village in Colombia. 22 families were given a months supply of food and many of the residents were physically or mentally
I have been involved in many activities through my high school years. I ran cross country for 4 years then became a manager, which means I still ran at practice but at meets I helped the coaches with various things. I’ve been playing softball since I was 5 and have always loved it. From fifth to twelfth grade I have been on student council and working to make our school a better place. This year I became the vice president of National Honor Society. Getting to work with the community and helping with NHS has changed my life.
So far this year, I have joined five clubs/ organizations and I find it to be extremely rewarding. I have not been able to be a part of many after school activities in past years because I was focused on keeping my grades up in Governor’s School, but now I have much more time to dedicate to other areas.
Outside of school I was pretty busy too. I was an umpire for teams in our area which I really enjoyed doing. Of course I had church that we faithfully attended pretty much every sunday. I still had my mowing business that had growen a lot since I had it in the 6th grade. Finally, I also had club baseball after my school season, and I did a lot with my friends and there’s always other odd things that came up at any time.. And I still honestly don’t know how I juggled all that during high
When I'm not in school I have Since my freshman year I have been doing marching band. As a sophomore I took my position as a upperclassman to help my freshman to the best of my ability. I help the freshman in my section to read drill, marching techniques, and how to play the music. While doing that I also do activities with my Girl Scout troop. I have been in Girl Scouts since the 4th grade and that has been a wonderful learning experience. From learning the ways of sales, to taking educational trips around the state i have grown in skill and character. Also for the last 3 years I have been the 2nd in highest cookie sales so that has been been very beneficial. Then during the summer I volunteer at the Durham Art's Council's Summer Camp as
In my 9th grade year of school I decided to become a WEB Leader (Where Everybody Belongs) where a selected group of students would help the incoming class adapt to their new school. We were paired with other WEB Leaders to prepare for the incoming class’s orientation where ourselves and our partners would take a group of students and give them a tour of the school while also playing games. A challenge I faced in this setting was getting all of the different personalities of students to feel comfortable in their new environment. I noticed some students in my group on the first day of school were very nervous and shy. To overcome this challenge and make them feel more comfortable in their new school I would make sure they would always be included
During homework, I worked with a couple of students. I found it difficult to connect with the students as they were expected to
Outside of school, I am also active in my community. I am involved in many activities. For my church; Spring Baptist Klein Campus; I have been involved as a volunteer at Vacation Bible School for 2 years. I have volunteered for crafts both years because I like to be around children of
3) Let students know that you care about them. Although many of us assume our students know this it 's not necessarily the case. Let the students know that you want them to succeed, whether it be to pass your latest test, or class, or graduate from college and get a good job. Let them know that you appreciate the work they do on classwork, or a test, or homework. Take the time
