Biography Of Eagle Scout Essay

I remember seeing my pinewood derby car going down the track; it was silver, blue letters on it that said sonic and black wheels that sounded like a hot wheels car going down a track. I was only 6 years old when that happened.

I am most proud of achieving my Eagle Scout rank at age 16. My journey to Eagle has been one of hard work and dedication. Besides serving the community with over 300 hours of building and refurbishing projects , I have assumed positions of leadership early on, often recommended by adult leaders, as I was described to be mature for my age and very responsible. Over the course of 6 years I was the assistant Den Chief leading younger Scouts, Assistant Patrol Leader and Patrol Leader leading my peers, Quartermaster responsible for the management of all troop equipment, Chaplain Aid, Instructor teaching the Aviation Merit Badge and ultimately I was recommended by my troop adult leaders and asked by my Scoutmaster to assume the position of Senior Patrol Leader leading the entire troop of over 100 boys during my Junior Year in High School.

There is one thing that President Gerald R. Ford; the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong; filmmaker Steven Spielberg and I all have in common. We are all Eagle Scouts. Since 1911, there have been more than one million Boy Scouts that have earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank advancement in Scouting. However, only about two and a half percent of ALL Boy Scouts have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. It is a very long path, but one that is well worth the journey.

I was a member of the Boy Scouts of America throughout my childhood all the way up through my high school years. During my junior year I organized and carried out my Eagle Scout service project: building a volleyball court for the church at which the troop held its meetings. This was one of the last things I had to complete before I obtained the highest honor in Scouting: the rank of Eagle Scout. It was what I had been working towards for many years. I spent countless hours planning, stockpiling, and recruiting for my project, and many more hours on the construction and final touches. I presented what I thought was the finished product, only to have one of the Scout leaders ask for more. In my eyes, I was done, but I was told that I couldn’t get my project signed off if I didn’t deal with another construction company and commit to extra hours of renovations.

For scholarship I Also I get good grades and try to be good role model. For example, I took and passed my Global Regents as a Freshmen because I showed readiness by consistently participating and showing good work ethics. Even though I wasn’t in the honors class I felt ready to face the challenge as a Freshmen. What made me want to take to take this exam was to prove it doesn’t matter if you’re in the honors class or not just work hard. I’ve talked to the current and the upcoming freshmen about negative and positive things I went through as freshmen so they don’t make the same mistakes I did or so that they can do the same positive things I did. For leadership, I participate in class and encourage my peers to do the same. I help make sure my peers comprehend what we have learned. In sports, I push my teammates to get better but have fun at the same time. I start practices when my coach is running late and when my coach is out talking to someone I continue the practice. For service, I and my Mosque went out on August 17, 2017, and collect cans of food and a collection for $350 and sent it to Sierra Leone because of the flood /mudslide and for the people who lost their homes and family. We also ran a food drive to give back to the community and helped the homeless. For character, I show all the five words Integrity, Leadership, Courage, Curiosity, Concern and also Brother’s

When my grandfather earned his Eagle Scout Rank in 1933, he unknowingly began what would become a family tradition that has helped mold my personal perspective today. He ignited a passion for Boy Scouts within my family, which continued through my father, and was fulfilled by me when I earned the Rank of Eagle in 2014. Scouting formed me into the person I am today more so than any other activity I have ever been involved with, reinforcing my family’s emphasis on leadership, service, and work ethic.

My foremost ambition after becoming an Eagle Scout is to become a Doctor after graduating from Medical School. For me setting goals, are the steps to achieving my ambition.

I grew up in a home where my parents taught us to serve our country, community and those around us. They taught me through example, my father was a scout leader when I was a child. He often took me camping and to merit badge Pow Wow’s. As a boy I began to dream about becoming a boy scout. When I became old enough I joined the cub scouts. While in Cub scouts I learned about being part of the pack, about working together to accomplish large projects, to work together to accomplish a larger goal. Then when I was older I was able to join the boy scouts they taught me about being a citizen in the community, about being a good neighbor. They taught me about doing a good turn daily, and being prepared. When I was 13, I became a life scout. Being a life scout is not anything special, other than I was able to start working on my eagle project.

Throughout different time periods and civilizations come many different types of art that would never be comparable to those of another time or place. There are also the pieces that come from a completely different time and place, but yet they can still be compared to one another. The Torso of a God (Egyptian, New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, last decade of the reign of Amenhotep III, Granodiorite, 1359-1349 B.C.) and the Statue of Asklepios (Greek, Hellenistic period, Pentelic Marble, 2nd century B.C.) are two sculptures made hundreds of years apart, yet they both display many similarities and show how art is constantly changing whilst keeping the same core ideas.

One of the hallmarks of memorable literature is the creation of interesting, believable characters. This is a reason why Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” is still remembered to this day. Harper Lee’s characters demonstrate realism through their actions and words, and I believe Atticus Finch is a fine example of such. There are many ways to describe Scout, due to the characterization displayed of her by Harper Lee.

What is the hardest thing you have ever had to do in your life? For myself, it was getting my Eagle Scout award. Now for those who don’t know what an Eagle Scout award is or means I will try and explain it to you. An Eagle Scout award is the highest rank possible in Scouting. In order to achieve this rank, you have to complete seven different ranks, along with other different requirements along the way. The basic requirements that you need in order to get an Eagle Scout rank are, twenty-one different merit badges (eleven required and ten unrequired), complete all of the classes, carry out a project that benefits your school, community, or church, and do this all before your eighteenth birthday. Trust me when I say this, it’s a lot harder than what it seems. Only about 5% of Boy Scouts get their Eagle Scout award. I came so close to becoming part of that 95% who didn’t reach this goal. I procrastinated so long that I didn’t complete my project until one week before I turned eighteen.
