Key Club Adolescents: A Case Study

The meeting was called to order promptly at 7 PM by Board President Steve Ehrlich. There were

I am Amber Bradshaw, daughter to wonderful parents, younger sister to the bane of my existence, and current student at Rome High School. At Rome High School, I am an active student. I have maintained a 4.0, become 5th out of a class size of approximately 330, and have taken many rigorous courses, including APs such as AP Physics 1, AP Statistics, AP US History, AP Language and Composition, among several others. For that, I have been awarded the status of an AP Scholar with Distinction.

The Board President called the meeting to order, and the board secretary did the roll call. The agenda was comprised of various reports and the secretary would go though each agenda item, beginning with the board secretary’s report, finance, personnel, listing of approvals for salaries that included names of staff/faculty, retirements, leave of absences, bills, travel, field trips, etc.

The board meeting was well run. The atmosphere was positive, supportive, inspiring and respectful. As you entered the boardroom, a table was set up with a sign-in sheet, agendas, handouts, and blue cards. The blue cards were for the public. If they desired to address the board concerning an agenda item, they must fill it out and submit it to the secretary.

Like other service clubs, Key Club offers a variety of activities that gives us members plenty to choose from. These are opportunities that many students would participate in but are disoriented as to where to look; Key club facilitates this search. Volunteer activities such as Blood Drive, Humane Society and school clean ups have made me realize that there are endless possibilities to help out my community. Blood drive will help save individuals on the verge of life and death. Humane Society will provide care for animals that have reached a point of learned helplessness. School clean ups has kept our facility a symbol of pride. Knowing I saved a life, helped the helpless, and made my school a better place brings me pride beyond that of any materialistic thing. Standing up with fellow Key Club members not

Since I was a young child growing up, I have been exposed to Social Services in one form or another. Many of my family members have participated in the social services arena, and as a result, I too have the love, and compassion for the helping profession. Because of this, I have been mentoring adolescents in my spare time. Helping with life transitions that may be challenging such as, transitioning into adulthood, stressful school/home situations, or life, in general, is very rewarding. Furthermore, being able to assist with tutoring, teaching life skills, and forming healthy relationships have been worthwhile, not only that, but beneficial to all parties involved as well.

During the implementation of the Midnight Madness Youth Development Program obstacles are inevitable, but can be avoided with the right contingency plans and preparation. As with any program that involves poverty-stricken citizens or at-risk youth, certain obstacles are expected to be present as some of them are due to the economic situation that these families are in.

Hi Key Clubbers! I’m Bonnie, I enjoy reddit stories, aesthetics, organizing and music that are rubbish. I joined Key Club, because it was similar to the organization that I used to volunteer at, but Clackamas Key Club was more than just volunteering. It allowed me to gain experiences that I would like all the members to

There comes a time when teen boys and girls come to a point where life is changing into something really different perhaps even scary. This scary transition could be referred to as the “rite of passage” which is what I am dealing with as the end of my senior year. Following this revelation, the world has many different cultures that include a rite of passage both boys and girls must complete in order to become an adult and face the next stage of life.

Initiative. Each letter is assigned to each month in the school year, starting in September with "Educate." Chatfield's Key Club officers were hoping we could set up a booth at the bonfire to educate our community about this project and to begin to raise money to save lives. At our next Key Club meeting on September 15, we plan to create a committee to prepare and run the booth. Our Vice President, George Beckwith (who I copied into this email) will lead this

Teen Trendsetters is a program which trains you in reading strategies to mentor children who struggle in reading K-2. I wanted to volunteer with this program because I love reading and writing and it also happens to be something I am very good at. I also love kids and helping them with something they are struggling with. While volunteering in Teen Trendsetters I had to attend a week of training. After training the mentors took a survey to match us with the kid that we are most compatible with so the mentor and mentee would connect and have a relationship. I received a packet with a teaching guide and a work book and fun worksheets and stories for my mentee which would make reading more intriguing for them. I believe this program has a huge

The vivid description of how the adolescents were treated in the dorms enrages me since these young people are so innocent. They have been running from the evil oppressors their entire lives. They have seen their friends and family die and have watched themselves slowly die, also. I could never live after leaving my loved ones to die. I would be way, way, way too grief-stricken. However, I realize that they are forced to leave them behind in order to fend for themselves. I can not comprehend how Benson is still mentally sane after witnessing such terrible tragedies over and over again, day in and day out. How can one remain sane if they are constantly running from death? I believe that the event at the dorm along with having to constantly travel

Teenage culture will remain the same throughout time since that is a stage where you are yearning for your own freedom and feel the need to explore life. Every one can relate to the same emotions that emerged when you turn a certain age. It is almost like you get a taste of independence but not all of it. You still have to live your parents but you can start driving by yourself once you have your license at 16 and hang out with friends without any parental supervision. Curiousity grows rapidly as the search for one’s self and the search for belonging in this world develops. Feelings like this cause teenagers to behave disobedient and partake in things they will soon regret, not knowing that Adulthood brings on it’s own problems. In “Where are you going, where have you been?” we are told a story written 40 years ago but still express similar situations and life lessons that can occur today. This story depicts the journey of teenage hood, and the lessons that must be learnt, sometimes the hard way.
