One extracurricular activity that is important to me is volunteering at the Skagit Valley Humane Society. I have always enjoyed being around animals so I decided to volunteer. I can help animals that have lost everything and just need someone to love them. While volunteering I walk the dogs, clean cages or whatever the staff needs me to do. The animals love the attention they get and only want to be loved. This experience made me realize that caring for animals is something I enjoy doing.

Outside of my studies, I’m a member of 3 clubs: HOSA, Key Club, and National Honor Society. I am vice president of HOSA, serving as such for my second year, making this year my third year as an officer. I’m also a member of the Rome High School band for my 7th year in band. I was selected as a section leader for the mellophones this year.

The only extracurricular activity I am a part of as of now, is Key club. I am an active member and commit approximately 20 hours of community service a semester. In Middle School I was a part of NJHS, Student Congress, and WEB (middle school equivalent to Link Crew). Within the next year, I plan on joining NHS as well as Link Crew.

I am a member of the National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society, Key Club, Executive Council, Fine Arts Club and Drama Club. As a member of these clubs, I participate in volunteer work and school events. The clubs push me to be a better person and student inside and outside of school. Furthermore, I am a part-time cashier at a grocery store. When I have time off, I enjoy being with my friends, traveling, or baking. One of my life goals includes traveling to different countries and every

Imagine a VEX Robotics Competition and I, as a middle schooler, finding my passion. Robotics quickly took over my life as I worked hard to carry my team to the VEX World Championships not once, but three times. I earned awards left and right. I often earned awards for the performance of our robot, design, and presenting maturely to the judges. I was passionate and talented. I had set my eyes on being an engineer and doing what I loved as I grew up.

As I worked my way through middle school, I would have never imagined that I would be as involved as I am today. From academic clubs like Science Olympiad and Robotics to service clubs like National Honor Society, Student Council and Key Club, my involvement in extracurriculars has been a positive challenge in a variety of ways. Key club in particular has pushed me to improve my community, expand my social life and prepare me for my future after high school.

The team members of S.A.W. all come from different backgrounds, yet they all have a profound interest in very similar things. Dahmin Branch is an eleventh grader who’s involved in sports programs, such as basketball, while also being involved in academic programs, such as the National Honor Society. However, through all of this, he has developed a profound interest in fixing computers and designing video games. This has encouraged him to be a computer engineer and a video game designer five years ago and he is still committed to accomplishing that goal today. Marquise Harris is an eleventh grader who simply loved to tinker with broken technology and play with it when he was a young child. He considers fixing things fun and interesting. When he fixed his old computer, he felt like his fate was sealed.

I really like science, math, and technology, and I try to learn as much as I can when I have free time. After school, I participate in clubs to enhance my skills. One extracurricular activity I do is Science Olympiad, a club that works to prepare for a Science competition against other regional schools on different types of science related topics. This club is a really good way to strengthen my knowledge in STEM related topics. Another extracurricular activity I engage in is Science Bowl, another club that prepares for a science competition in March. By participating in this club, I can improve my speed in answering science related subjects. I really enjoy being part of these fun and learning Science competitions. After school, I partake in an extracurricular group, Math Honors Society. By engaging in this group, I can help out other students who are

One non-academic pursuit that best describes me is Soccer. The fundamentals of the beautiful game was instilled within me starting at a young age. What the sport and passion has taught me is the ability to lead others, working with others to achieve a common goal, hard work, dedication, self-control, and most importantly defeat. The game has also shown me that no matter what race, gender, or ethnicity. Soccer is something that unifies people all over the world for a common interest. Looking at my character and personality, I can see the traits of soccer within me. From leading a group of peers down the road less traveled, learning how to adapt to situations when facing new adversity, and the struggles of enduring defeat. The greatest challenge

Some extra curricular activities that I participate in include playing the drums at church, cooking and barbecuing,and volunteering for the YMCA . I enjoy playing the drums and helping around my church, it gives me peace or a few minutes a haven to block out the worlds pressure and begin to loose myself in the music. Volunteering

Currently I am involved in my schools Academic Decathlon, Texas Junior Classical League, Varsity Tennis, and Key Club. One of my lifetime goals is to attend college and be a successful student there. Joining Academic Decathlon has helped improve my studying capabilities tremendously. The rigorous academic competition has helped open up my mind to the various other fields of study. Understanding fields of study such as molecular biology,

In my spare time, I like to cheer and run track. Some extracurricular activities I participate in are Key Club, French club, scrapbooking club, and Show choir.

The 2015 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robotics Challenge concluded in June, and Team KAIST from South Korea took the championship title with its robot DRC-HUBO. The winning team hails from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and managed to defeat 22 other teams from around the world to bring home the top prize of US$2 million. The DARPA Robotics Challenge was launched in response to a humanitarian need that became glaringly clear during the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. South Korea has just made headlines for its superiority in robotics technology, but other countries in Asia have also started turning to robotics to boost productivity and wow the public with some head-turning inventions.

An extracurricular activity that I cherish is the robotics program at my school. In the robotics club, it allows students to learn how to do 3D designing, use a 3D printer, and coding. This allows me to broaden my horizon on different aspects of engineering. For instance, learning how to 3D design allows you to create a variety of things such as tools or parts for a project and then I can 3D print the items I designed. This gives me an advantage because not only am I able to design a mechanism, but I am also capable to of using the 3D printer to build the mechanism I designed. For these very reasons, the robotics club is important to me.
