Lisgar Accomplishments

Starting from Girl Scouts to CJSF, my early love for aiding others quickly developed. However, my most pivotal service experience is my involvement in Key Club. As I became further involved in this organization, the thought of advancing my role by becoming an officer became very persistent in my mind. Being extremely shy and withdrawn, the idea of being a leader was incredibly intimidating to even fathom. Despite my shyness and anxiety causing me to doubt myself, my love for serving others outweighed any uncertainty I had in myself. After a daunting speech and election process, I gladly accepted the challenge of a club secretary, which has given me the opportunity to not only serve my community, but the members of my club. My experience as a Key Club officer has enriched my perception of myself and widened my range to serve. It has taught me to take risks and step out of my comfort zone in order to pursue my passions. Key Club has served as a platform for me to become more engrossed in my community and lead me to consider careers in which I can help those in

As what seemed to be an almost non-existent summer comes to an end, I have had time to reflect on what I hope to accomplish during my last year roaming the halls of James E. Taylor High School. I picture the impossible calculus problems that I will be required to solve or the piles of books I will struggle to finish as my literature exams near, but one thing that I am truly enthusiastic about is service. Improving my grades had been my most important goal as I began my high school career, however as this draws to an end, I have come to realize that the one thing that will truly leave a mark and will hopefully inspire others is the service that I have given to my community. Through Key Club, I have not only made friendships and bonds that I

Of all my contributions to Darnell-Cookman Middle/High School, I firmly believe my greatest contribution is not tangible, but leaves long lasting impressions and results. My contribution is my time and energy spent here before, during and after school.

For one, I am proud to have consistently achieved not only the Dean’s List, but the President’s Honour Roll every year of my undergraduate career. These awards are presented to those who maintain a cumulative average above 80% and 90%, respectively. I strive to work to the best of my ability in my education, particularly in subjects that I truly find fascinating. Satisfying the requirements for these awards each year is indicative of my perseverance throughout my education, despite the many obstacles and stressors that are accompanied with life. Another accomplishment I take pride in is my increasing contributions to the community. Over the past three years, I have been pushing myself to associate with clubs and organizations revolving around the community. I was previously an executive member of Mission: Possible, a University organization devoted to raising funds and resources for the local Downtown Mission, as well as my program’s student association, which fundraises for a selected charity each year. I am currently the vice president of the Mental Health Awareness Association at my university, a group dedicated to raising funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association as well as raising awareness regarding the stigma surrounding mental health. One final accomplishment that I am proud of is consistently volunteering as an emergency responder for the University of Windsor Student Medical

It is sad to say that my time in Key Club International has come to an end. All the memories of countless volunteering, of meeting people from all over the Pacific Northwest District, and of being on the District Board, I believe it’s safe to say my Key Club journey has been an unparalleled experience. Key Club brought me a sense of fulfillment, that strove me to break down the barriers I once had. The feeling of getting involved in my community and meeting servant leaders all over the world made me realize the purpose of this organization, which is to serve our community and to better our future.

The year of 2012, I entered Red Oak High School as an adolescent who was fearful to walk down the hallway. The individual I was my freshman year compares nothing to the individual Red Oak has shaped me into today. During each passing day of my years as a student at Red Oak High School I failed to recognize how much had transformed me. The community, teachers, and coaches have formed me into someone who’s ready to strive and fulfill goals.

Key club has positively impacted the social, moral, and academic aspects of my life. I’ve encountered new friends, received countless smiles, and gained priceless experiences from attending events. This club has genuinely changed my high school experience for the better. I cannot simply describe in words how thankful I am for this club and for the officers who keep it running. As a proud key clubber of one and a half years, I’ve developed an ambition to lead Key Club by using my past experiences and the voices of my peers. I desire to become a Key Club officer who genuinely hopes to improve Key Club and strive to make a place where everyone can have fun while feeling like they belong.

Another club I am a member of is Key Club. I joined this club because it is a club dedicated to community service and I wanted to know what more I could do. In my junior year I became co-captain of Key Club’s Relay for Life team and am continuing as a co-captain this year. I’ve been working with the other captain to plan fundraisers and our events. As of right now, I am planning an event on my own to involve the middle schoolers in Relay for Life. Lastly, I am a member of National Honors Society. This club is also dedicated to community service but also encourages education and leadership. Through all of these clubs and the classes I have taken, I have become more outgoing, confident, and have become more of a

My high school involvement has been as broad and developed as i could make it thus far. Throughout my time at Putnam City North I have played football, basketball, golf, tennis, ran cross country, and am a member of the swim team. I served as class president sophomore year, and am now an executive board member of our S.U.N. (Students United (at) North) council which is a much larger, school-wide student council that caters to the entire school’s events rather than just the events of my class. I also am a junior representative officer for National Honor Society, a member of the Spanish Club, and was Putnam City North’s recipient and representative for the Hugh O’Brian award. My S.U.N. council and National Honor Society council are currently

As I have spent my last four years of high school at North Gwinnett High School, I have been immersed with many opportunities to involve myself in community involvement to better the community in a place where I call home and into different corners of the world. Through boughts of community service and volunteer work within my community, I have not only gained a new, fresh image of what a community really is, but a new hope for a bigger and brighter future. Because of my experiences with volunteer work with Happy Feat, North Gwinnett High School Girls’ Lacrosse Camp, and food packs, I have learned new routes of leadership and gained new perspectives from those experiences.

For 4 years, I was a student for an academically oriented summer program, in which we had the opportunity to experience the college lifestyle. Being a student in the MI Gear Up (M.I.G.U.) was a transformative opportunity; I recognized then that I wanted to transform other student’s life just as my leaders had done for me. Later after I graduated from the program, in 2012, I was promoted as a leader. As a junior leader, I worked with urban city students from the age of 14 to 18 all throughout the Mid Michigan area. As a mentor I had the role of teaching them the importance of their education, by being a guild throughout many exercises, and hosting many hands on activities being done on and off campus. M.I.G.U was more than an education program,

From the second grade through college I competed on various sports teams, with track and field as the primary sport. Although athletes compete as individuals I learned that nothing can be accomplished without a team effort. I also served as the Business Manager for my Virtual

Considering these accomplishments, there’s more to me than what meets the eye; for I am not just a gregarious, Vietnamese girl trying to urge her way to college.

As a student, I strive hard to learn as much as I can and put my knowledge to good use. Since 1st Quarter of my 6th grade year, I have maintained a straight-A average. As of the second semester of my 10th grade, my current weighted GPA is approximately 4.2407, while my unweighted GPA is 4.0. I am an aspiring neurosurgeon and hope to help share the love of Christ by helping them overcome the diseases that plague society today.

In other activities, we have all made names for ourselves. Athletically, many have achieved incredible things. People have gone to state meets and tournaments, lettered in varsity sports and maybe even have been named team captain for a season or two. In our music and drama departments, students have excelled, securing coveted spots in our school's top bands, orchestras and choirs. Some have put their talents to work and gotten the lead in our school plays or been put in charge backstage making entire musicals go smoothly. All of the clubs at school have had students from our class named as presidents, editors or producers. Our class every year has had its very own government, naming people as our president, vice-president and so on.
