Girl Up Research Paper

I was delegated the position of President of the club in the beginning of sophomore year. By this time, all the upperclassmen had graduated. A club of nineteen, was now a club of three. In addition, the teacher who facilitated the club for three years, and appointed me the position, left our school. To further add to the situation, the newly chosen Vice President left the club unexpectedly. Now, there were only two people left in the club. I had a lot of hard work ahead but thought of it as an opportunity to grow this club in new ways. I wanted to encourage students with no experience to join. I wanted to encourage students who could not afford a ski trip to join. I wanted to encourage

The determination of gender identity is much deeper than whether a person is born a male or a female. The exact identifier that separates gender identity is currently unknown but researchers believe that genetics, hormones, reproductive organs, biological, and environmental factors all play a role in distinguishing a person’s gender identity. A person’s physical gender and their sense of gender are formed at two different times in two different parts of the body. A person’s gender is whether they are born male or female, but the way they identify themselves may be the opposite, which is not uncommon and has occurred since the beginning of time. In culture males are known to be the stronger, more aggressive sex, while females are the

It's abundantly clear that there are distinct physical differences among the sexes, however women and men have been taught and thrown into a structural system that has brainwashed us into believing that based on what sexual organ you so happened to be born with you must follow the guidelines throughout life to fulfill that particular gender. Growing up as a female in society you are taught that barbies, baby dolls, Polly pockets, playing dress-up, and liking the color pink is essential to being a "proper girl" and that taking a fancy to hot wheels, action figures, and Pokemon cards is considered wrong and you automatically get labeled a "tomboy." Although, the word tomboy is not considered an insult or a rude name it's just an unnecessary word

I decided to release some stress, and go meet new people from other schools. Throughout this process I learned a lot about what other states were dealing with and what students wanted out of their education systems. I had knowledge about what the North Carolina education system was going though, but I had no clue as to the depth of problems that other states were dealing with. At this point, I decided to stand up for all the students in all states and address ten thousand people during my national beta club campaign speech for secretary. As Nobel Peace prize winner Malala Yousafzai said, “I raise up my voice-not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard”. I wanted to advocate for opportunities that all students in this country should have access to. I used my national campaign speech to talk about the issues, concerns, and dreams of other students throughout the United States and wanted to project all of the voices that I had listed to throughout this journey. I used my voice to advocate for others who did not have the opportunity and I am now National Beta Club Secretary. In my role as National Secretary, I will plan, operate, and preside at not only there North Carolina Conventions, but also at the

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

Over the past few months as we participated with the “Big Brothers Big Sisters” program, we divided into small groups in order to focus on different aspects of the organization during this project. The project included three main groups: social media, public relations and group planning. The first group was responsible for social media around campus. The second group managed public relations, which made flyers and used other media resources to spread the word throughout the campus. The third and final group focused overall group planning with the kids. This included different activities and parties for the children. As a class we were to plan and coordinate two functions that included the Big Brothers Big

Helping start and lead SAFE which stands for Sexuality Advocacy for For Everyone, our school's GSA, has shown my peers there is acceptance within our school community and it provides them an outlet to express their needs and begin advocating for social change. Although the club is still beginning to grow and develop, we've already made ourselves visible, which is an important first step to acceptance.

Leading this group of girls requires me to be a positive influence on their lives; I must conduct myself in the highest manner as to reflect this positive behavior on them. This group has also taught me the importance of community and having a support system. Witnessing the relationships being formed and growing stronger between the girls and myself and the girls amongst themselves has taught me that everyone needs someone to support them. During every person’s life, at one point or another, a tough circumstance has surfaced and when hope seems lost and they are in need of an inspiration to move forward. I stand to be that inspiration and strive to demonstrate to the girls how to be that inspiration for others around them and spread hope and positivity. Having a safe environment to be able to discuss events happening in life and times when we are suffering or need help is a vital aspect of this

Iggy Azalea's return to social media hasn't been as smooth as she would have hoped. A fan contacted her on social media and stated that the single "Pretty Girls" flopped a little bit. The rapper responded,"It's difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and TV performances etc. unfortunately I'm just featured." Azalea's comments were taken as disrespectful and Pop Zone tweeted that the rapper was throwing shade at Britney Spears and her team. Azalea answered Pop Zone by tweeting,"My comment is factual, it applies to any song. I don't have to suck the womans [sic] asshole 24/7 to be her friend, do I? Bye girls." "Pretty Girls" has achieved moderate success since its release last month. It reached Number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, Number 23 on Mainstream Top 40, and Number 5 on the Hot Dance Club Songs. The music video for the single has received over 79 million views on YouTube.

“I was having a hard time articulating how I distribute my time because there are a lot of causes to fight for, and a lot of opportunities to do so. For me I try my best to distribute my resources across various organizations that I support on personal levels. Sometimes that takes the form of donating my time, other times donating money or food items it all depends on the cause. I march in rallies, participate in student organizations on campus. Those are ways I keep myself local and grounded,” said Ada Maldonado, president of Gender Equity Club.

During my high school career, I have immersed myself in numerous clubs and committees, empowering my development as an avid leader. I have been involved in my school’s poverty club for four years. Currently as club president, I direct meetings and the implementation of our events and fundraisers for local homeless youth. Additionally, I am co-president for the organization of Moscrop Human Library, a school-wide event that breaks down stereotypes through dialogue. Being involved in the planning since 2015, I was in charge of finding speakers, gaining sponsors, and more. This year, I will be leading the event, delegating tasks, coordinating volunteers, and more. Furthermore, I have been an active member in graduation council for two years and

In my community there was a debate about closing my high school on the east side of Saginaw, Michigan. Many people didn’t like it but few stood up to voice their opinion. Last year, I took it upon myself to stand up and fight for what I believe in, saving my school. Eventually, others began to stand with me. I couldn’t do everything by myself, so with the help from a teacher and a few students we organized a group named AS1 (As One). We listened to each other’s opinions and worked as a team to save our school. It was very difficult to remain relaxed because it seemed as if our board of education already made up mind to close Saginaw High School. Although it was difficult, we remained calm. We respected their reasons for why the school should
