East High Reflection

During my high school career, I have participated in a large majority of the clubs available to me, and held officer positions in most of them as well. In both the National Honor Society and Medical Connections Clubs I am a member of two and four years respectively, and was elected treasurer of both for the 2017-2018 school year. National Honor Society has also given me many community service opportunities, including helping with the Night to Shine organization and a volunteering at a local nursing home.

I go to an all-boys high school that has a reputation both for its academics and athletics; therefore, it attracts many strong athletes. The first day of tryouts I couldn’t believe how many people were there. Although I thought I had some talent, there were a lot of talented players and I did not make the team. I was very disappointed. One of the reasons I chose my high school was because I hoped to play on their hockey team. Because I did not make my schools team, I could enter the player pool of the High School Hockey League of Nassau County. I was very fortunate to be picked up by a new team. I didn’t know anyone on the team, but I decided to make the best of it. I have had four great years of high school and travel hockey, and have made many great and lasting friendships. If I had a similar experience in college, I would try something new. I look forward to all the new opportunities both academically and socially that University of Delaware can

I have been in a number of programs and extracurricular activities at Lincoln H.S. that helped me define my career goals and challenged me to the fullest. As I finish my journey from High School, I began to slowly realize that their was nothing tangible I had offered to this community, but I what I did offer was myself. Being on the Mustang Varsity team there was always this one person who showed me how to be the best tennis player. His name was David Dinh. David had shown me that their was more to tennis than winning the game, it was about having fun with your teammates/coaches and building relationships with others through a simple rally. His leadership skills and enthusiasm for this sport had influence my own perspective of

From my freshman year of high school to my senior year at school I have been involved in cheerleading, track and field, the Leo Club, Ebony Society, Trio program, the Ascend Network, Emerald Legacy Step, Flagler Youth Leadership Program, and the Hosa Program. Outside of school, I volunteered to be the junior coach of Flagler Titans Varsity Cheer team, as well as concession stands for softball games and culinary events, and now volunteering at the hospital as part of the teen auxiliary

I’m an active participant in many extracurricular activities at New Brockton High School. Varsity sports, academic clubs, and leadership organizations, if you can name it, I’ve probably participated. I’m currently a varsity volleyball captain as well as the secretary for our Senior Beta Club, Vice-President for our FFA chapter, and not to mention represented New Brockton High School as a national youth delegate

I’ve participated in 3 sports teams since freshman year. I tried out for and joined Cross-Country in August of 2015 and was put on the Freshman-Sophomore team. This year I made it to the 2016 IHSA 2A Cross Country Sectional Champions. I tried out for and joined the women’s basketball team in October of 2015 and this year I was nominated for and became captain of the Junior Varsity team. I tried out for and joined Track & Field in March of 2015 and I have been on the Varsity team since freshman year. I participate in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, low and high hurdles, long jump, triple jump, and shot put. I made it to the 2017 Indoor City Championships for long and triple jump. I am in Key Club, African-Culture and Dance, Recycling Club, Science Olympiad, and Latin Honor Society.

The contributions I have made to my school include participating in volleyball from the fall of 2014 to present. For volleyball, we have collected food for the food pantry, conducted a youth night to teach younger children the fundamentals of volleyball, and a breast cancer awareness night which included raising money to fund breast cancer research. I also participate in dance and softball. For the 2016 softball season I was chosen for the spirit award because of my positive attitude and energy during games and practices. Through hard work and dedication the dance team won conference champs at the 2016 conference competition. I was chosen by my coaches for the Limitless Leader Award and the Sportsmanship Award in 2015 and last year. I have earned a varsity letter in

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

I am dedicated to staying involved in many clubs and programs in my school. Right now I am currently in baseball, choir, Science National Honor Society, National Honor Society, Ruckus and Rowdy, student council, and in our school musical production, Footloose, as a main acting role. My most prominent talents are in baseball and choir. I have been in baseball since I was 3 years old and have always been an athletic kid compared to my peers. I continue to practice and try my best in baseball and despite always trying new sports and activities, I have never skipped a baseball season. Baseball has taught me the importance of teamwork, taking constructive criticism, respect for coaches and teammates, and persistence in improving. In the past two

In middle school, athletics were not my forte, and my commitment to music and my long commute to and from school prevented me from joining many varsity teams at Lisgar. Nonetheless, I began participating in intramurals in Grade 9, and found a niche of my own in the Lisgar Athletic Council, which I joined in Grade 10. For the last two years, I have advised the Sports Council heads, while also scorekeeping for and participating in intramural tournaments, as well as pursuing athletic goals outside the school.

The school has pushed me outside of my comfort zone by giving students the opportunity to be involved in extracurricular activities. The clubs offered at North Posey make a student feel like they are part of something at the school. This year, I am currently part of Varsity Club and Business Professionals of America. Both of these clubs are something I am extremely passionate about because I love to do both. Business Professionals of America helped me choose the path I want to take to receive my college degree. Without this club, I may still be undecided on my major. Varsity Club has allowed me to stay active in school through sports. The past fours I have played volleyball, tennis, and basketball. All of these sports have helped me become more of a team player. Teamwork is a major value I will need in the future because in a business degree, I will constantly be working with my coworkers to solve a problem. Varsity sports have also taught that it isn’t everything to win. These sports have taught me that by losing you can learn just as much as winning. By being on the court, I have learned how to become a leader. This past year, I was the captain of our volleyball team. Our team had our difficulties but by working as a team and stepping up we were able to prove many people

Within the last three years at Westside High School, I have not only pushed myself academically, but athletically as well. I do everything within my capability to keep my grades to a high standard while absorbing knowledge that will help better my future. Beginning in my ninth grade year, I decided I wanted to take leadership rolls within my school. I was a member of the varsity cheerleading squad, a member of Westside student council, and a member of the track and

I have participated in cross country and track and field and have gone to the state championships three times. Academically I have acquired a 4.28 G.P.A and I rank seventh out of 87 in my class. While I was in sports I excelled academically and was awarded Nevada All-State Academic Team for three seasons. I am part two clubs, National Honor Society and Future Business Leaders of America. I am proud to be vice president of Future Business Leaders of America, to help coordinate the underclassmen so they can keep the club alive in the following years. One of the most memorable accomplishments in my high school career is receiving Rotary Student of the Month for math and social studies. The Rotary Club rarely gives out this award to a student two times and I was fortunate enough to receive it both

I am quite involved in our extra curricular activities on my campus. To begin, I am a three year starter on our wrestling team in Oshkosh. I am hoping to be a captain for my team this year. This doesn't make me a better person but hopefully a better teammate and in the future a better coach. Wrestling helps me stay disciplined and organized. I am also part of our Oshkosh Physical Education Club or OPEC. This club is for all of the Physical Education major students on campus. I have been a member for 3 years now; last year I was the Vice President. This school year I will be the President of this club. This makes me a better person because I have to help students through different situations such as, thinking of dropping out, having problems

Before Andover, wellness was easily attainable and could be maintained throughout the school year with ease. I tried my hardest in my classes, was involved in extracurricular activities, and most importantly, I could take break if and when I needed it. Similar to other students, academics and activities were a prominent part of my life; however, my health and happiness always took precedent over anything else in my life. But I, like many other students, quickly realized that the importance and value of my health and well-being weren’t deemed as significant upon matriculating to Andover. Now, how I perform in my classes and what I do after school is somehow more important than how am feeling. Given the current and continuing state of stress and infirmity that most Andover students are in, I think Andover needs to place more concern on the health and well-being
