Today was my first time being at the Boys and Girls Club, I spend 4 hours there entertaining a few kids. I’ll tell you something about the club I cannot believe how disorganized they are, one they didn’t know why I was there to volunteer, if felt like they really didn’t want me there either. Two, they gave me very little directions on what to do and where I can go. And finally I found it very odd that when I left no one was there to see that I left or write down anything. You would think with an organization like this they would be on top of all these things because they ask for people to come in and volunteer. No wonder they don’t have a lot of community help and support, they don’t do anything to get it. I felt like they have two sides. One …show more content…
I hope that this was just a one day thing and that I was just a rare unhappy person. Along with that I learned that there are different sides of children that a teacher may never see unless that leave there class unattended for a couple hours and suddenly walk in. I saw kids do things that weren’t inappropriate but would be frowned about by a teacher in a class room. Things such as texting to the person write a crossed the room from them. Or teasing there best friend because of wearing something, come to find out it was because the friend that was the teaser wore the something last week. A teacher would see that as you being a bully. No matter how good of friends you …show more content…
But I did see a few positive behaviors. One included two kids sitting in the game room because they had to wait like a half hour till the rest of the building open up, so they were doing homework together but not the way most teens do, that is one person does it and the other copies it. No, they were actually working through the problems together, they would stop and show each other how they got it. That being said, I don’t understand common math now, it’s to ridiculously hard now. Another positive behavior would be that I saw more of a positive adolescent to adult connection today, the other day it wasn’t all that good some kids got their phones taken and a few argued. This time there weren’t any problems that I saw. Maybe it was just a good day or they said something about the student’s
Party goers, hooligans, and just plain idiots is how the media represent Australian youth. Far too often, Australian youth is depicted negatively. It is unfair that the media represents youth this way because there are many young Australians out there who need to be recognized for their positive achievements. Several articles that I will share with you today will illustrate how the media leaves readers thinking the worst about teenagers. This must stop. It’s time to shine a spotlight on the great things young people can do and say.
Hello, My name is Maisie Johnson and I am the program chair for our Beta Club. I enjoying doing many things which include, FCA, Cheerleading, and of course the wonderful Beta Club.

As a diverse student, in a very low income community I have always been known to standing up for others, as well as for myself. Having this natural drive i found myself taking a huge role in our high school Beta Club. As a natural leader, I was challenged with the opportunity to represent our high school’s Beta Club Chapter while running for North Carolina Beta Secretary. Although I felt experienced as a leader, I was really nervous to get up in front of all of North Carolina and give a speech at the Beta Club convention. Although I was nervous, I opened my mouth, and the words just began to come out. My fears went away, and I addressed everyone on topics of educational improvements and opportunities for all students to succeed. I used this

Hello, my name is Susan Stewart. I am a member of the Wheatland High School Grad Night Committee. The committee is comprised of Volunteers who plan and facilitate the Safe and Sober Grad Night event for Wheatland High School graduates. Committee members are meeting with local community businesses and leaders like yourself, to ask if they would be interested in supporting an event aimed at keeping our local teens safe on such a celebratory night.
Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a program that was introduced in the 1860’s in Hartford Connecticut. “Believing that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative, they organized the first Club. A cause was born.” Now made up of more than 4,300 clubs and in their 103rd year, the goal of these clubs is “to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”
The boys and girls club have been serving children for 150 years. They have given their helping hand to millions of kids worldwide. The Boys and Girls club’s mission has always been “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.” The Boys and Girl’s club was formed to assist underprivileged children or children who do not live in the best environment. This organization possesses a numerous amount of goals and achievements they want for each child in the program. They provide a safe and fun environment; help create skills for the future and help children build relationships with positive adults. In addition the
On September 5, 1995 in Beijing, China, first lady Hillary Clinton delivered a speech on women’s rights at the United Nations Fourth World Conference of Women. As Clinton stood in front of an audience of thousands she proudly stated “If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights once and for all.” The target of the conference was to inform the audience of government officials, leaders of organizations and the public on the problems women throughout the world face. Clinton’s speech argued how women were not treated equally and that women’s rights should be equal to human rights. Throughout her speech, Clinton provided harsh examples of the abuse, rape, death and discrimination women face, to evoke sympathy from the audience. Her overarching goal was to get action among government officials and motivate women across the world to take control of their lives and not suffer from these circumstances. Clinton uses a mix of pathos, ethos, logos, and anaphora to deliver a definition argument on why women’s rights are human rights.
People of New York, I have come to you today to address a problem that has plagued all of New york for centuries. Beginning in the gilded age of 1870, the state government reacted to you, the people. However, they reacted based on avarice and individual interests. One of the central influences in the government during the New York gilded age was the democratic, political party Tammany Hall. This party was founded by Tweed Williams, a poorly taught democrat who went to jail for stealing roughly 25-45 million dollars from taxpayers in 1877. He was able to do this to the people because he had friends higher up who gave him the power to access the banking industries and bribe people with money and jobs to stay in office. He stole this money from men, women, and children to spend on himself, while the people he was supposed to represent lay in poverty. Tweed was essentially tearing the money out of your pockets, taking the bread off your dinner table, and all the while, smiling right at you while he took your votes.
First off, thank you for considering me for this opportunity. I, in all honesty, didn't know what Boy State was, but after doing some research I discovered that Boy’s State is a prestigious program that allows students to operate in a government environment that exploits students’ own interest with positions based on real life government. When I heard about this, I got really enthusiastic and intrigued. And I felt like I could undoubtedly take something beneficial with me from this program. At this school, the title of Junior class president comes with great responsibilities. This leader is responsible for expressing the class’ input, not only that, specifically this year, the leader is
“Like having bonus kids. Didn’t intend on having them but don’t wanna give them back.“ Chris said about having stepkids. Chris Becker also has a son named Tyler Becker. He isn’t his blood related son either. He was adopted when he was about nine years old maybe a little bit younger or older. He was married to Tyler’s birth mom, but she later made wrong choices and Tyler was taken away from her. Chris then adopted him. Chris is very thankful to have the experience of having kids, and in some ways he felt it was hard to raise three kids all at different ages. He said “We’re always worrying about them. It will never go away it, just won’t. They are little humans running around the house not able to take care of themselves depending on us. Look at Tyler, he is twenty-two years old, I still worry about him. It never goes away because you raised them their whole life, little on up. Not being able to do it themselves. It’s a good kind of worry though. It’s really hard to explain, you’ll understand it when you’re older and have kids.”
Thank you for your dedication to providing an excellent education system for all students in District 203. Your hard work has made the district have very high rankings and be one of the best districts in the state. As a student at Naperville Central High School, I understand that all school days are important and that they all count towards our grades. In spite of that, many Muslim students have no choice but to miss school due to an Islamic holiday called Eid. Therefore, there should be a day off on the only religious holiday that is celebrated by Muslims.
It was a few weeks ago when I realized I was misjudged by not only by my classmates but one of my teachers. I had been missing classes for a few weeks now… coming late in the morning to my first block and leaving in the middle of day. Everyone thought I was just leaving. Thought I was slacking, Thought they knew what was going on. Their thoughts on me changed from me being a good student to me missing school and not caring and not doing on homework assignments. I would come to school later in the day I would be scolded from people I thought were my friends, my peers, my classmates. They interrogated me, asking how was your nap? How was Netflix? How was going out for lunch? Assuming I went home during the day and relaxed. If only they knew what I was going through. If only they knew how much pain I was in. If only they knew I was spending days stuck in a doctor’s office. Getting MRI’s done. Getting excessive amounts of blood drawn. Going through hard tests. If only they truly looked at me and realized my life is being turned around. I never shared with my teacher or classmates why I was
(sound alarm) Don't you just love that sound. Ahhh the sound of school calling at 6 in the morning. When you start a new school or a new grade many emotions are most likely running through your head which stress' you out. But when you get to high school it's a whole new beginning and experience. The overall experience of high school is pretty neat if you asked me. The freedom is nice, although there is a lot of stress, the people in the hallway can be disturbing, and you make all new sorts of friends and enemy's.
