Have you ever wanted to be apart of something bigger than yourself? Well I have just the opportunity for you. Me and few other students are starting a club called Pit Crew here at Valencia College East Campus. The point of this club is to help people with mental disabilities with school subjects. So anyone can join if you think you can teach a subject come on by, but you have to be patient with them. We will hold meetings once a week at the performing arts center at four o'clock pm and will last five hours. We do this for people receiving help can get an extended amount of time. Also for people who need community service they can get a good amount of time helping. Our goal is to get people together through learning and to be accepting

The HLLC community not only provides students with accommodations of residential living but it rewards students with the opportunity to enhance their leadership capabilities and teamwork talents. By being a member of the HLLC community I will be guided as student but shaped into a student leader. I will be able to learn about the right ways of approaching and bringing awareness to social issues, An example in which would be my passion to increase cleanliness and education around the globe. I once saw a documentary entitle “On my way to school”, it featured 6 children and their daily difficulties. They lived in an areas filled with filth, but were happy and thankful to at least have a roof over their heads. These kids would also have to

I’m proud to be a Summit Charter Collegiate Academy, SCCA, bear. When I first enrolled at SCCA as a freshman, the school was nothing but a small, dull institution that focused on academics and nothing else. There were no sports teams, clubs, or school activities. The public viewed the school as a failure and assumed that it was no place for students to grow and experience what high school is like, but SCCA is nothing like the things people say it is. It may be different from the rest of the high schools in Porterville, California, but SCCA is very unique and is genuinely determined to prepare students for the real world. I aspired to do all that I could to make SCCA a better high school, so I joined my school's leadership team, also known as ASB, during my freshman year. Since the moment I joined ASB, I fell in love with the purpose of the organization. I loved to help out the school, and I loved planning events and activities that helped create a better high school experience for all of the students.

Keeping in line with Marietta College’s statement on Diversity and Inclusion, it is important to map out a plan to make sure we are living up to the mission of the college. In order to fulfill this mission, it is necessary to have students from diverse backgrounds represented on campus. However, having students on campus is only one aspect of D&I work. Understanding the make-up of the college and the surrounding city, it is necessary to ensure these students have the support to be retained through graduation. In this effort, I propose the creation of a three part program that will assist in this effort. This plan will involve

I am involved in two clubs at Hopkins High School. I am proud to say that I'm part of the We Serve HHS and HHS Responds clubs. We Serve HHS focuses on serving the community through volunteer. We organized the food drive that recently occurred in October to donate to ICA. Currently, we are looking into collaborating with Mr. Allan Law to provide food for homeless people in the Minneapolis area. HHS Responds is a representation of the diversity in our school. It encourages and promotes diversity in Hopkins. That club brought the gender neutral bathrooms into our school and we are currently working on celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. We have discussions regarding politics, race, religion, gender, and many other current topics that affect students

Despite it being middle school, my leadership of the first ever NJHS at Sparta Middle School, taught me valuable things about leading and being part of a club with such prestige. As the inaugural chapter of the society, we ran the student-faculty basketball game, baked cookies for Project Self-Sufficiency, and collected food and then visited a local food bank. I learned how much a group of students could impact the community with their actions, something I had previously thought impossible. I will draw from those experiences when presenting my opinion on new service projects and will also try to introduce successful techniques that I used back during my time spent as President of

The final mast of school and community involvement was catalyzed when I joined Key Club as a freshman. Finding a passion for service and leadership, it rapidly became my primary focus in deepening my high school experience. Key Club inspired me to search for further opportunities for leadership and involvement, leading me to join Student Council, Relay for Life, and so forth. Through my various executive positions, I have not only improved my own character and qualities, but also inspired others around me to do the

“Waddley-acha, waddley-acha, doodley-doo, doodley-doo…” rang throughout the gym. 650 freshmen filled the bleachers, laughing while frantically trying to copy Mr. White’s movements to the entertaining camp song. Clad in my purple baseball tee like the other Link Crew Leaders, I chuckled with my group of freshman as we all tried to figure out the motions together.

This past year, I have been apart of Naperville Central’s brand new Special Spaces club. When my friend approached me and asked me to join, I agreed even though I had no clue what I was involving myself in. In retrospective, I can honestly say that becoming a part of Special Spaces has been one of the most meaningful, fun, and fulfilling experiences I have had in high school.

Over the course of the last three months, I have had the opportunity to complete my internship at HCC. My passion for assisting students in making a smooth transition between a high school and a collegiate environment led me to serve the HCC

It is part of my responsibility to acquaint freshmen to high school and guide them down a path for future success. I chose to become a member of Link Crew because my younger sister is a victim of bullying on a day to day basis. My sister suffers from mild autism, and it is difficult for her peers to embrace the beauty of being unique. So, I have committed to spreading knowledge and kindness throughout my community, and eventually throughout the world. Therefore, in future generations the world will learn to accept diversity with open

As a senior at Hannibal High School my life is a little hectic at times. To start off the year I became Senior Class Secretary so I could help make a difference in our school. In order to help out school spirit, which has been more or less sad at best in the past, my fellow class officers and I organized

For the past four years, I have played a significant role in the Putnam County High School Anchor Club. Though the club was small and a little disorganized my freshman year, it has grown to become a prominent part of my life and a major key to my success. In these four years, the Anchor Club has helped me grow to become the leader I am today. I now serve as the President of our Anchor Club. I believe my leadership has helped the club reach its full potential for success.

My 2016-2017 adventure in Link Crew was life-changing. The experiences I was able to gain are some I will never forget. I want to be in Link Crew, as a senior this time, to continue spreading a message of school unity and support. One of the best parts about going to Souderton is how deeply and wholeheartedly authoritative figures attempt to make everyone who goes here feel welcome; how deeply authoritative figures make students feel like they are part of something bigger than just their family or their tiny circle of friends. I think that’s what everyone craves at the end of the day: to be a part of something. It’s beautiful having a school that provides that feeling and that environment. I think this thought process, my thought process, is
