The Junior State of America (JSA) is the largest student-run organization in the country dedicated to youth civic engagement and political involvement. Founded in 1934, the nonprofit JSA has fostered over 500,000 student leaders through its school year academic program and its summer programs. During the school year, JSA functions as an extracurricular activity at high schools. JSA hosts overnight conventions during the school year to provide a platform for high school students to come together and contemplate the issues facing our society. In the summertime, JSA hosts summer programs at colleges so students can study advanced courses in government, politics, media, and international relations. Through joining this organization my freshman year, I have become a more confident public speaker. When I first joined JSA, I was a shy freshman who was afraid to voice my opinions because I was scared of being judged. I always sat in the back of the classroom because I was a listener and follower. As I attended more JSA conferences, I began to see the power of …show more content…
With JSA’s student-run nature, I have taken on meaningful leadership roles in the Northeast region of JSA for the past two years. My junior year, I served as the Northeast Director of Logistics. I was responsible for organizing and executing three overnight conventions in Boston, Washington D.C., and Stamford. I directed over seven-hundred delegates to convention activities, found food options for delegates, researched transportation for delegates, and maintained luggage storage. This year, I am the Chief of Staff of the Northeast region, in which I work with the Governor to supervise a cabinet of sixteen student leaders to carry out JSA’s daily operations in the New England and New York region. In this capacity, I learned how to work with a diverse group of students from all different
I would be a great NJHS member because I show character in school. I display and understand all of the rights and wrongs in the school by following all of schools rules and rules that my teachers have for me. I make good and appropriate choices by thinking ahead and thinking about how it could effect other people around me as well. Lastly I show character by treating others with respect. I do that by saying please and thank you.
If selected for admission, I plan to take advantage of IMSA’s unique learning opportunities by working diligently in all of my classes, joining clubs and teams to learn from my peers, and participating in Student Inquiry and Research to satisfy my curiosity and allow for more independent work. I come from a small high school with approximately one hundred students per class. Funding is a constant problem and learning opportunities are thus very limited. I’ve attempted to take as many science and math classes as possible, as well as world history, foreign language, and an advanced English course, but I still do not feel challenged. My school has done what it can to enhance my learning experience, but my math and science classes aren’t quite
During 8th grade at Howard D. McMillan Middle, I believed one person could make a difference if they just set their mind to do so. Our school had many restrictions and few student activities. Early that year I became interested in Student Government (S.G.) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), so I decided to run for President of both clubs hoping to make a change.
For almost half a decade HOSA has provided students the gateway for to develop leadership and technical skills in healthcare. For many, HOSA has allowed them to achieve their full potential and interact with people who share their same interests. HOSA has given me many opportunities, from national competition where I was able to study current health issues and interact with HOSA members from around the world to the fall leadership conference where I have been able to improve my leadership and communication skills. HOSA has given me countless opportunities, and now I want to give back. Becoming a HOSA state officer will allow me to give back to my fellow members by helping them to achieve their own personal interests in HOSA. I want to apply my experience as a leader and involvement in my community during my time as a HOSA state officer to help members fulfill their personal goals and the mission
This school year, I want to get more involved with clubs and athletics that interest me. I am in HOSA and Student Government; which I would like to run for a office in Student Government at the end of the school year. I was also apart of the football and basketball teams and I am also going to try to be on the track team. Furthermore, as the year progresses, I want to receive all A's in my classes (have succeeded so far). In English this year I am going to further my reading and writing skills. To do so, I will need to practice these skills continuously which I feel that I can accomplish.
Everyone has a dream or something they want to follow in life. Some want material gain while others want to help as many people as they can. I’m not saying wanting material gain is a bad thing, but what I am saying is that for me, money is not the number one concern when my dream is to help others. My hunger to help others only grows by the day. Because of what’s going on in the world we live in today, I believe that it is important that those who are less fortunate than others have the assistance they need to get to an even playing field, health-wise, with others.
Education. It is a vital source needed in order to succeed. Though many schools offer a basic education, there are not many that offer the advanced level of learning that ASMSA provides. While attending ASMSA, I hope to be taught at a higher level that better suits my standards. ASMSA will give me the prospect to learn at a level that I can use to challenge myself to better my future.
As elected president of Washington’s largest DECA Chapter my senior year, I found myself tasked with leading a 280-person club to international competitive success, but also striving to foster the same growth in others that DECA did me. Today, I see a different person than the one that stuttered reading that Robert Frost poem in 8th grade. I see someone committed to overcoming challenges, learning, and dreaming
Prior to high school, my uncle was my chemistry teacher. As a food scientist, he was to me a great inventor who knew everything about the magic of taste, texture, and aroma; I still remember his lecture on “good” chocolate and how cocoa butter—solid at room temperature—melts readily in our mouths. Raised on an early appreciation for the power of applied science, I am now driven toward chemical science by a desire to uncover solutions to challenges in the modern world.
With my twenty years of experience in Early Childhood Education, I’ve collaborated with teachers in developing and implementing ideas to support student’s academic performance. I performed student’s academic assessments. I complied and maintained daily logs based on student's level of progression. In addition, I logged in financial statements, received inventory items and organized inventory for distribution of class materials needed for instruction. I’ve provided effective parental support with the families to develop and implement teaching techniques to enhance their child's growth development and knowledge of school readiness skills. My resume contains additional information on my experience and
From the day I got my appendix removed in 7th grade, I knew that becoming a medical professional was my calling. Although the road to becoming a medical professional is a long, tiring, and difficult one, I believe that I will be able to conquer it. Throughout high school I was lucky enough to participate in a school organization of HOSA, which not only helped me in my decision to become a health care professional, but also allowed me to grow and learn as a leader over the last couple of years. The mission of HOSA is to enhance the delivery of compassionate, quality health care by providing opportunities for knowledge, skill and leadership development of all health occupations education students, therefore, helping the students to meet the needs of the health care industry. Being an active member of HOSA for all four years of high school has been quite an experience.
I became a member of my school`s SGA during my freshman year in an effort to become more active in school life. The other members and I have done many activities to improve our school and encourage school spirit. We also did many fundraising activities for our school.
Witnessing blood slowly running down the face of a woman who had been in a car accident and blood gushing out of her lower abdomen as a ten year old was unlike anything I had ever seen. The chaotic scenes and the rush of providing help immediately really fascinates me. I knew ages ago exactly what I was passionate about. The only thing left to do was to experience and apply what I learned in order to become better at what I wanted to do. Hands on experience can influence young adults to do more in the community and reach beyond their abilities.
All leadership qualities such as scholarship, character, citizenship, leadership itself, and service should be exemplified as an NJHS member at Claughton Middle School! However, one quality that attracts my attention the most is "leadership". This outstanding quality drove me to believe that "leadership" should symbolize our school's organization, National Junior Honor Society.
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
