Case Study: Miss Ingleside Chamber Of Commerce

The process of being chosen for Future Leaders of Jones County included writing an essay and then being interviewed by a panel that oversees the Future Leaders of Jones County. In the organization, we were broken off into small groups and mixed with students from different schools around the county. I played a large role in my group— the fundraising leader. Our goal was to meet the needs of our local Battered Women’s Shelter, which were providing bedding, laundry, and a new playground for the women and their children that were also being homed. This project was very close to all of us in my group because there are so many battered and abused women in our community. In order to achieve the shelter’s wishes, we had to raise at least $1,000, so I had to go out and raise the money. With the help of many in our community, I was able to help my group reach our $1,000 goal, and we were able to go above and beyond accomplishing our project of service. After buying the necessities (pillows, sheets, blankets, detergent) for the shelter, we were able to purchase and put together a completely new play area for the children. The whole project was a success and getting to help better our community by enabling these women to stand up and get out of the situation of being abused so that they can start a new life. Seeing women like this made me realize how important it was

She now wants to, “pay it forward.” Danielle is now the Assistant Director of Husky Sport and says that she wants to support students the way her parents supported her. She wants to have an impact on their lives and help them create and understand the value in “right relationships.” Danielle is motivated more than ever to create less disconnects in our society. She realizes the cultural deficit in our country and she wants to make it better by creating a “better understanding, better communication and better people.” She realizes there is an enormous amount of work to be done but never wants to stop being a support because her parents never did on her. She says for anyone getting ready to find a job, “find your passion and use it as a compass; be yourself, be authentic and find a place that values your opinions. It feels less like work when you love what you’re

This past summer, I acquired an internship at Baldwin and Lyons, an insurance company in Indianapolis. Every Wednesday during my internship, a couple of employees and I would participate in a prodigious community service project, Meals on Wheels. Throughout the three months that I worked at Baldwin and Lyons, I got acquainted with some of the individuals whom we delivered to. These inspiring individuals were so grateful and appreciative that we took time out of our day to volunteer to do such a service. One elderly woman who we delivered to would sing to us as she came to the front door “good meals, good meals, good meals.” She is one woman that I will never forget. First going into this, I was elated knowing I was I getting out of the

Finally, she would like to thank her Sponsors for their support during this time. She wishes the best of luck to all the contestants

One manner in which I have helped the Hispanic Chamber achieve its mission is by serving as a translator for the workers in the kitchen who are unable to communicate fluently in English. This has proven to be a very valuable asset of mine as it allows the managers and crew members to coexist more smoothly and work more efficiently. This experience has also taught me to become grateful for the many values the other workers in the kitchen have instilled within me, including: hard-work, perseverance, and punctuality. Additionally, I have been able to offer advice to the other Latinos at my job about any questions they may have regarding the American education system. This includes providing them with different resources and contact information for information on colleges, scholarships, financial aid, etc. Lastly, I have also assisted the other workers by retelling my father's experiences coming to America and the many obstacles he has encountered throughout his life in order to achieve the success he has garnered today. For these reasons, I have learned to take nothing for granted in life and to always willingly assist the other Latinos at my job in order to express my gratitude for the many valuable life lessons they have taught me over the

Over the past two years (2014-2016) I have participated in the National Junior Honors Society. As a member, I commit to completing community service and to learning among my peers in order to develop into a superior leader. I have taken part in activities such as fundraisers, team building activities, and several forms of community services such as working in a soup kitchen, daycares and organizing social events. Recently, I volunteered for a week as a vendor at a temple in Tacoma, raising money for the establishment during the Cambodian New Year festival.

Over the past few years I’ve done many things to give back to the community. Some examples of things I’ve done to give back to the community include; dancing at retirement homes such as marwood, safety patrol, helping with canned food drives, donating used clothes and items to thrift stores, helping teach young girls at dance and helping kids with schoolwork when they are struggling. With the experience that I’ve had giving back to the community, I feel that I will be a great edition to MJHS since it’s all about giving back to the community and helping

I believe community involvement is essential in order to cultivate skills, increase awareness and educate people to have a fruitful venture in mind, body and spirit. The cultural diversity, partnerships with public, private and non-profit organizations have been instrumental to our success in this region. Despite the different ideologies and competing viewpoints, I hope to become an agent of

Over the course of high school, I have engaged in my community in various ways. For one, I have donated my time volunteering for health-related organizations that promote good causes, such as the “Heart Walk” for the American Heart Association and the Alzheimer's Walk. Over the summer of 2017, I assisted nurses in maternal fetal medicine with clerical work through the VolunTeen program

Imagine this, you’re a business just starting out. You have a solid product that’s evolved over time to which you have developed a key niche in the market. You spent countless hours working on your storefront and developing a professional environment. Your product line is ready for sale and you told all your friends and family about your new store. You open up the door and by the end of the day… you had five people come in. Reason being is that as a small business owner you forgot one of your biggest tools, marketing.

Being a community assistant is important to me, because part of what has made my UP experience so great has been the frequent warm welcomes that have been received upon entering Kenna Hall. This would not be possible without the community assistants. Being involved in this opportunity will allow me to pass on the positive energy that I have received gratefully.

Mr. Lassiter, being the manager of sales and marketing, should have addressed the entire organization of the new system changes. He did not even address the full system conversion to several of his own staff members. Also, Mr. Lassiter anticipated Kovecki had studied the documentation, which he had not. Mr. Lassiter needs to prepare a special meeting with key members of staff

In leaving this community, it was extremely heartbreaking to realize that the children I had grown to know and care for do not have many opportunities to follow a life outside of the small town they grew up in. Living in poverty, most of the children didn’t have shoes or toys and relied on donations to the organization. Through this experience I realize that every child, no matter of what background, race, or family, deserves every opportunity the world has to offer. I believe I can make a difference for children who are not given the many opportunities because of their background or social
