Junior Class Advocate

I am a member of my high school’s student council, Girl Scouts, and also the chaplain of my school’s drama club.

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’ve been involved in for four years student council, four years girls’ Varsity Golf, three years Basketball, two years Mason Valley Swim Team, two years Rotary

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.

Throughout the duration of my high school career, I have participated in a multitude of various extracurricular activities including Varsity volleyball, club volleyball, National Honor Society, Key Club, and Mathletes. I believe that I have involved myself in this wide range of activities in order to enjoy the company of individuals who appreciate the importance of both academics and athletics as much as I do. Personally, academics have always been a top priority of mine as a result of my parents placing such a significant importance on grades as a child. Consequently, I have participated in organizations such as National Honor Society and Mathletes where I surround myself with others similar to myself that follow a certain academic standard.

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’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.

I have been a member of Girl Scouts for eleven years. October 2014 I was nominated to represent the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia as a delegate in the national convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am currently working to achieve my Gold Award, dealing with literacy among elementary school students, which I should complete by the end of this year. I also volunteer at the Columbia County Library every Monday. Though I worked backstage in my school’s drama production, I have also been on the stage for many productions including Peter Pan, the Jungle Book, Dear Santa, and numerous church Christmas plays. I am also very involved in my church. I have been an alter server for seven years and I am part of Life Teen and Word Wide

Throughout my high school years, I have challenged myself to maintain a high GPA yet, be involved in various student organizations. I have learned to manage my time and to become a responsible student by fulfilling the requirements and duties of each organization. I am involved in National Honor Society, Educational Talent Search, Book Club, Art Club, and Technology Student Association. I was selected to become a National Honor Society member my sophomore year and was accepted because of outstanding academic achievement, good service to the community, and leadership. This organization has helped me grow as a person and it has allowed me to contribute to the community. We take part in activities such as the annual toy drive, Thanksgiving food

I’m always busy setting up for club events, attending chapter meetings, or finalizing class assignment what can I say—I am very involved. My clubs and honors societies help me stay grounded and remind me that not only can I get my school work done, but also help others along the way. Most recently I’ve been working with a club to do a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) panel of success stories as motivation for others. I’ve been working closely with the club presidents of the, Contigo Club, to plan out the execution of this event.

Over the course of the last few years, I have participated in activities that could help me become a well- rounded individual. Entering my freshman year, I joined the girls varsity soccer team and had the opportunity to compete in the state championship. I also joined the Math Club, Spanish Club and was nominated to participate in AIM (Achievers In Memorial), which awards students with an excellent grade point average. A sudden interest to devote my time to helping people in need sparked inside me and I decided to become a volunteer at Palisades Medical Center, where I have completed more than 300 hours. In addition, I also volunteer with My Outreach Mission, a club in my school that donates food and clothes to people in need. At my high school,

I’m a former Girl Scout and committed many years to this organization. From being a daisy (kindergarten) to becoming a senior (9th grade), I did and still greatly service my community. I have also been a part of Grace Teenshop Inc., which teaches young girls how to maintain good moral character and be a role model for youth to follow. In high school, I’ve competed in softball and track and field events where I’ve thrown shot put, javelin, and discus for 2 years. I also joined my high school organization named DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) which prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management. As I became a student at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore I have become a member

Walking into my sophomore year I told myself that I wanted to be more involved, get out on campus and do things. I have not hesitated joining activities and organizations since then. Currently, I am a writer for three magazine publications on campus: Renegade Magazine, Mixtape Mag, and Femme Noire. I joined these magazines because I enjoy writing and they give me an outlet to write about things outside the classroom and things that relate to the world around me. Last year, I was just a mentor for JUMP Nation, an organization that started about an hour outside of Syracuse and whose purpose is to guide and mentor the youth in Syracuse and encourage them to go through high school and into college. This mentorship

When I am not at school learning, I have many extracurricular activities I like to participate in including karate, kickboxing, robotics club, chemistry club, student council, and mu alpha theta. I have been doing karate for the past thirteen years and recently took up kickboxing as an extension of my training in the martial arts. This year I started doing both chemistry club after finding out that I love chemistry by taking it in my tenth-grade year, and also robotics club after finding out about it from my friend who had participated in it the prior year. I have been in student council both my sophomore and junior year and
