Lubzana Afrin Personal Statement Of Purpose

Extracurriculars are there for students to enjoy activities other than their academics, but it is also a way to shows that they can focus on education and outside life at the same time. Some students do not take school seriously enough. Coming to school might just be a way for athletes to participate in the sport they want to. Not every students has exceeding academic skills, however, anyone can succeed if they just try. Being able to multitask will behoove the students in the future. Undergraduates tend to separate their school and outside life. Older adults do this as well; but instead of school, it is work they have to worry about. During exam week, students will want to study and it will take away their eating and sleeping time. Eating and studying is a vigorous way to

When students participate in extracurricular activities they learn lessons and concepts of leadership, teamwork, organization, analytical thinking, problem solving, and time management. In high school if a student wants to do a sport or other activity they will pick the activity that they like and enjoy. This is the kind of decision making skill that could help determine the type of career path for a student. By participating in extracurricular activities youth can find something they enjoy learn to use this in a career. “Participating in certain extracurricular activities having to do with the field that the student is interested in could help them find a job. If someone is looking at a resume for a potential employee, and they see they have experience or interest in what they are looking for, they will be more likely to hire that person” (Massoni). Having been apart of a particular extracurricular activity can be a positive influence in a job resume. This will cause students to find a new ambition in a career. Even on college applications these activities will affect if a student will be accepted, and in some circumstances many activities can earn a student thousands of dollars in scholarships (Massoni). Extracurricular activities can benefit students in teaching them long term commitments. When youth participate in

In my point of view, extracurricular activities are what shape a student into what they are or become. SkillsUSA is a career and technical student organization that helps students obtain the leadership, hands on, professional, and employability skills that America is searching for. Although at first, students do not find this extracurricular activity as interesting as a sport, they fail to recognize that this organization is for students and ran by students. As Pope John Paul II said, “The future starts today, not tomorrow.” Today, I know that SkillsUSA is helping me take a step closer to what I want to do in my

In addition of these qualities, I am an active participant within the extracurriculars in my school. While in 9th grade, and 10th grade, I participated in many activities, as indicated in the packet attached to this essay. And, outside of school, I enjoy going to piano and art lessons. Through the collected efforts of these activities, I have gained crucial knowledge and other attributes that helped me contribute to society, and to become a better leader.

How would you know what you are really good at if you don’t try everything? You would never know what you are really good at until you have tried everything. Although some people believe that limiting extracurricular activities will help you to stay on track, I think it is better if I decide how I want to spend my time because no one knows what I am really capable of better than myself and because some people are looking forward to getting athletic scholarships for college.

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.

I stay actively involved in many extracurricular activities. I am a member of FCCLA, Yearbook,

This way of teaching may seem like the easiest, most efficient route, but it is not necessarily the most practical. Based on Gerald Graff’s personal experiences, he has come to the conclusion that “schools and colleges are missing an opportunity when they do not encourage students to take their nonacademic interests as objects of academic study,” (Graff 270). In other words, schools should start to focus on more extracurricular activities and sports, and transferring that passion into more scholarly subjects. Coming from a professor at the University of Chicago, who initially claimed himself to be an “anti-intellect,” this statement shows the true significance of non-educational activities and how they are equally valuable to other things considered more intellectual. Likewise, many blue-collared job individuals are looked down upon by the eyes of society, due to not valuing non-academic work.

My variety of well rounded activities underscore my personality and character. Choir, musical acting, cross country, track and field, chess club, National Honor Society (NHS), and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). I participate in cross country and track and field not only because I like running, but also because it builds character. It creates a noticeable difference between those who are disciplined, and those who aren’t, between who works hard, and who decides to slack, and between the leaders and the followers. Every day I commit myself to being disciplined, working hard, and leading the team. Though cross country and track are the largest extracurricular activities I am involved in, choir, NHS, and FCA fall close behind. Choir allows me to create beautiful music, not just listen to the songs on the radio, and also allows me to fall in love with the chords, the notes, and the rhythms that are composed within it. NHS pushes me to keep using my intelligence to the best of my abilities, and when partnered with discipline, elevates my grades. FCA allows me to lead and show others that I am a believer in God, for He is the center of my life. Finally, chess club pushes my strategizing abilities, while always having a near infinite number of moves that can be conducted. Though each extracurricular

The most important extracurricular activities I participate are undoubtedly the University Interscholastic League academic competitions. While I enjoy my participation in band a great deal, and perfectly exemplifies team effort, I highly value UIL Academics' provision of opportunities to push oneself's individual limits. UIL results are entirely dependent on one's will in preparation prior to the event. Because it is essentially an individual competition, one won't have a coach pushing or forcing him to improve, and I have experienced the varying levels of success from such a method first hand. I know the feeling of cramming for an event only to perform poorly, but also the satisfaction of pouring countless hours into an extraordinary effort

Extracurricular activities helped shape me to be who I am today and also taught me skills that will be necessary in the future. Such as, teamwork, time management skills, problem-solving skills, deliberating ideas, adaptability, and strong relationship skills. I learned teamwork during Sapphires because if we didn’t work as a team it did not look good and was not fun. Time-management was something acquired as you had to be able to do sports while still having enough time for school work. Problem solving skills and adaptability were both learned in junior executive as the prom was moved to a different vendor two days before prom. In dance I deliberated various ideas and it gave me the confidence to do so in the future. Strong relationship skills were built through clubs and sports which will make working with others and collaborating with future bosses

It is important for adolescents to participate in extracurricular activities. Student who participate in these activities improve their academic scores and social life. Extracurricular activities can also help reduce many peer pressure related problems. “They enrich the lives of the students, their families and our communities. These activities create well rounded children who learn what their interests and talents are because they have been exposed to such opportunities” (Extracurricular Activities, Blogadmin). For most adolescents extracurricular activities should be required among what they do outside of school.

Marketing concept believes that for a company to achieve organizational goals, it depends on determining the needs and wants of the target market. It takes an outside-in approach. Marketers practising this concept recognise that customers are always the first priority of the organization and they aim on complete customer satisfaction. This requires an integrated marketing effort, that is, team work between different departments within the organization. For instance, team work between the marketing team and the academic team of UCSI University. The marketing team will be in-charge of the promotion of the academic programmes available in UCSI University while the academic team will have to ensure and maintain the quality of the programmes and courses offered.
