This fall is my first semester at “Cougar Nation”. I previously attended Saint Xavier University in Chicago, where I held several leadership roles. At the beginning of my sophomore year (August 2014) I resurrected an inactive organization on campus called the African American Studies Diaspora Club. The organization’s mission is to encourage and celebrate the gift of knowledge, power, and unity existing throughout SXU’s diaspora of African American students. Under my leadership, the AASDC became the premier Black organization on SXU’s campus as well as an excellent service to the Chicago community. My work within the organization allowed me to be blessed with several related opportunities of service to the SXU community. I was dedicated
Organizations such as the National Honors Society have more than just one single objective for students to accomplish.

Not only that, but with the recognition of academic achievements given through this group, it encourages students to keep thriving in their studies and motivates them to go above and beyond the average standards. Lastly, it also inspires students to improve their leadership skills and to
Everyone has a legacy. A legacy is like a message in a bottle, something you leave behind to be discovered again. It’s a story that people are remembered by, whether it’s a work of art or a famous quote. It’s an impact you leave for a place or a person. A legacy is like a treasure chest; all you have to do is unlock it. I want to make my own legacy so I’ll be remembered for something. It doesn’t matter what it is, I just want to leave a positive mark on this school.
While conducting research on the partnered sororities of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, I discovered particularly fascinating attributes associated with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. What fascinated me the most was the sorority’s distinct dedication to education, sisterhood, mentorship, and international service. I desire membership of the first organization people look to for help; that is Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. This sorority has made its way relevant from 1908 to modern day and progressively moving forward. I want to be able to say the same thing about myself.
Not every school. Also, a lot of those comments or statement were just opinions. Not valid facts.
Just a two years ago when it was 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, our current first lady of the United States made a commencement speech at Bowie State University in Maryland. She gave a speech to the graduates of Bowie State University, which started giving education to black community two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. At that time, the school education was held in a small African Baptist church in Baltimore. However, because of such brave inspirited and qualified students who came to learn to become leaders in Maryland and throughout the country, a small church school started to flourish its education environment. So on this majestic
Alumnae serve as leadership facilitators and mentors for the Emerging Leaders Institute and Leadership Fellows Program, they provide professional workshops for CV and cover letter writing among other field-specific seminars, they review grant applications for cardiac care facilities through the Alpha Phi Foundation, they advise on a regional and international basis, supervising multiple chapters, and can also sit on the International Board of Directors and the Foundation's Board of Directors.
The Sorority's success is based on the depth of commitment, vision and confidence of its members. What makes AKA stand out from the rest of the organizations of the divine nine- or even organizations in general, graduate membership is by invitation only and is not solicited through our graduate chapters. Their graduate chapters host public events, such as forums, cultural presentations and social activities, so that prospective candidates can become acquainted with chapter members and learn about service activities they offer to local
If I were to leave one quote as my enduring legacy, it would be “The only person responsible for your success and failures is yourself.”. The quote’s inherent explicit message is that a person is responsible for what happens to them. This message is intended to encourage people to take accountability and responsibility for their actions’ results. On the other hand, an essential implicit motivation of the quote is to counter the inclination of people currently to blame everyone but themselves when their plans go awry. Furthermore, another implicit message of the quote is people need to become self-reliant. In today’s intricate and constantly fluctuating world, people are becoming more and more dependent on others while they fail to take liability
During my sophomore year at Miami Dade College, I decided to run as the President of Phi Beta Lambda, which alongside Future Business Leaders of America is considered the largest career student organization in the world. I had the purpose of reaching and encouraging students, including Biology, Engineering, and Journalism majors to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that this organization offers every year. However, in order to do a successful job, I had to work as a team player alongside my club’s advisor and the rest of the officers. Our major project was to make the state and national conferences affordable to a broader range of students and prepared them for the competitive events.

Everyone has a legacy and it is that legacy that can change a person’s life whether it is minor or drastic. A legacy starts young and the way you are towards people and what kind of impact you leave in their lives is really important. Legacy isn’t just about leaving what you earned but also what you learned behind. What I hope to accomplish in my life is to be reliable, strong, independent, trustworthy, and good natured. During my life there will be some ups and downs especially while I will move on from school, a new career, moving on to new friends, and in some cases leave some behind. When I think about moving on with my life I hope that when those people think of me that they smile and they remember all the good times we had. I hope that they think of me as someone that left an impact on their life.
A legacy can be describe as many things. Some people leave good legacy but also bad ones. A legacy is the only thing many people remember you by. Many people have the legacy of being a great doctor or a fantastic husband. I would like mine to be about the positive things I did in life. Even when I made mistakes I want people to remember I always tried to fix what I did wrong. Well for me I would like my legacy to be good. I want to be remember as the friend who was there for any one at anytime. The lovely mother and friend who was always there.
Prior to accepting my nomination into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, I was hesitant on the legitimacy of the organization because the opportunities provided appeared to be too spectacular. After I accepted the nomination and learned a little bit about the organization at the first meeting held at Iowa state, I was intrigued about what other information I could learn from the induction ceremony about the society. I wanted to know more about the experiences of other active students within the society and how exactly the society helped them. Learning from others and hearing their stories is a great way for me to be able to properly form an open opinion about the NSCS, which helped me to understand what the goals of the organization
