FBLA Personal Goals

I have been a member of the Olivet Boys and Girls Club for nine years; starting at nine. Throughout those years, they have taught me the many things that I put into play today. Spending most, if not all of my time at the Olivet’s, I tend to call it my second home. My mother used to always yell at me for not being home all the time. I just loved being there all the time. Through all the support of the Olivet family, I have been able to overcome many obstacles. For example, many may think that because of my height I would have picked basketball as my go to sport; however, that was not the case at all. Luckily, I had a unit director who would not take no for an answer and kept pushing me.

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

Counselors and teachers try hard to get us involved in different clubs and programs. Because they knew colleges nowadays are looking for people who have had leadership experiences. Starting off high school wasn’t just about academic anymore, students who want their resume look good would be vying for positions like presidents and vice president in many different clubs. I have a friend called Amy. Amy’s more of an introvert and type B personality.

FHSU’s small class sizes provide a great setting for more interaction and the opportunity for me to enhance my communication skills; communication skills are essential to a sports organization’s front office. Additionally, I plan to gain exposure to FHSU athletic department’s business model either as an extension to my coursework or because an athletic director is supportive of my aspiration. Another avenue to understanding a business is through student club participation. Clubs have many attributes of a business and are on a smaller scale where I can see how decisions impact its success. FHSU’s student clubs also are known for giving back to the Hays community, and volunteering in my community is an important value to me now and will be in ten

Pursuing the dream of obtaining membership into the First Intercollegiate Greek Fraternity for African Americans, Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. is one of very few ultimate goals in my life. An organization that was founded to stimulate the ambitions of its members and prepare them for great usefulness within the community has since become one of the most well respected organizations in America. Over one hundred years later, the pivotal movement in 1906 has spread to over the entire country in different collegiate chapters and cities across America and the impact has been tremendous. To some individuals, I was considered very lucky to be reared in the upbringing I experienced. But in my eyes it was a double edged sword.

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

Many students entering high school fear to participate in extracurricular activities due to fear that teachers and parents place in their mind about the importance of success in high school will mean to their future. Little do these students know that participating in clubs, such as F.F.A., will culture them to be knowledgeable, desirable students not only to their high school but also to colleges. Being a member of the F.F.A. will open many doors for students future- from grants and scholarships to internships. F.F.A. is a nationally recognized organization known for members integrity and hard work this grants members a leg up in their

I was determined to be accepted into this club, because I wanted to feel accomplished in my highschool career and to be proud of myself.

Every member understands their duties as Ivy League black male and how to use their status to better the situation of others. I chose to pursue Alpha because they exhibit the true meaning of brotherhood and thrive in every endeavor they make. As I continue to learn more and more about the organization, I find other reasons why I want to be a member. They are always giving one hundred percent to everything that they do. They make it evident that they possess the skills necessary to be great in any field that they so

Going into college, I knew that I wanted to join a fraternity, but I was not thoroughly sure which one to choose or which ones stood for what. During the organization fair, the President of Sigma Phi Epsilon showcased his fraternity with all of his statistics about his brothers. They have had the highest G.P.A. four semesters in a row, Chapter of the Year for two consecutive years, and the aspect of Sigma Phi Epsilon that caught my attention was their intramural success- softball in particular. Holding that championship title, I knew at this point that Sigma Phi Epsilon was the right fraternity. The day that I signed my bid was an eventful day for me. Sigma Phi Epsilon continued to impress me at the first official meeting in Claypool-Young

I began the rush process near the tail end of my senior year and continued through the summer. I went to many different fraternities and had a phenomenal time meeting lots of cool people, but I noticed a consistent theme that troubled me. Almost everywhere I went, it seemed like a lot of the guys were very similar to one another. Whether it be personality, geographical background, or even trivial qualities such as the kind of cars they drove or how much money their parents made, a majority of the members of these fraternities seemed to fit a certain mold unique to their chapter. Growing up in a community that one could describe as a social Hunger Games, I had to shape and mold myself into a person that I wasn’t just to survive junior high and high school. After many years of acting like someone I wasn’t, I did not want to spend the most important four years of my life at a place where I wouldn’t be able to be the person I truly am. I began to think that fraternity life might not be for me, but that changed when I met the brothers at Pi Kappa Phi. When I visited Pi Kapp for the first time, I didn’t know anyone in the chapter or anything about the fraternity. While this did initially make me nervous, I soon noticed something that would calm my nerves. Unlike the other places I visited, the men represented all sorts of different personalities, geographical backgrounds, and ethnicities. But despite all their differences, I’ve never seen a closer group of people. I met guys from eight different states in one weekend, which is more states than most fraternities can say their brothers represent. But the thing that I appreciated the most about the brothers is that for the first time all summer, I felt truly and genuinely accepted. Not because of where I grew up or other things I can’t control, but because of who I truly am. I knew I had found the place I was meant to be. That

As I sought out to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. I saw that the organization matches my personality and what I stand for. My true passion is to make a difference in this world, I desire to make a significant impact on the lives of the youths to inspire them to reach their full potential. I know that Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was established to accomplish the same things that I do, this is one of the many reasons I aspire to join this great fraternity.

Everyone has a goal in life that is set from a young age. Most people achieve them and

Goal setting has always been an important factor in my life, because of that I have accomplished things that I am very proud of. Without goals it would make it very hard to succeed in life because there is nothing to work hard for. Goal setting is a constant reminder of the things that are important to you. It gives me the motivation to work hard every day so that I can achieve my goals. Goals are what keeps each of us different. Throughout my life, I hope to continue to set goals.
