Memorial Document Of The Teresa Mccoy Memorial Service Award

While I’ve only been a member of the National Art Honors Society for two years, I’ve always been an active participant in the classroom, assisting and collaborating with my teachers and students. This year, I was elected Treasurer of the National Art Honors Society. The position of president was extended to me as well, but my teachers and parents convinced me to focus on my core courses.

The process of being chosen for Future Leaders of Jones County included writing an essay and then being interviewed by a panel that oversees the Future Leaders of Jones County. In the organization, we were broken off into small groups and mixed with students from different schools around the county. I played a large role in my group— the fundraising leader. Our goal was to meet the needs of our local Battered Women’s Shelter, which were providing bedding, laundry, and a new playground for the women and their children that were also being homed. This project was very close to all of us in my group because there are so many battered and abused women in our community. In order to achieve the shelter’s wishes, we had to raise at least $1,000, so I had to go out and raise the money. With the help of many in our community, I was able to help my group reach our $1,000 goal, and we were able to go above and beyond accomplishing our project of service. After buying the necessities (pillows, sheets, blankets, detergent) for the shelter, we were able to purchase and put together a completely new play area for the children. The whole project was a success and getting to help better our community by enabling these women to stand up and get out of the situation of being abused so that they can start a new life. Seeing women like this made me realize how important it was

After receiving the award, I continue to visit the residents at St. Barnabas and share my gifts of music, by playing the piano, flute, and leading group sing-a-longs. I throw myself into my activities and do so with a happy, humble heart. An important quality I possess includes my integrity and respect. I always uphold strong moral integrity and respect those around me. I understand that you must treat others as you would want to be treated, and to be respected, you must do the right thing even when no one is watching. I am a strong leader as I am a person who takes action and gets involved, in order to help others and the team. When I see an opportunity to be supportive and to lend a helping hand, I jump in. I am not a person who sits in the background and waits for someone else to do something. I am a go-getter, who thrives on helping those around me. I am very organized with all of my activities, both academically and socially. I input over 200%. I understand that without a strong work ethic and passion, only the minimal will be accomplished. As Class Secretary for the past four years and as upcoming National Honor Society Peer-Tutoring Coordinator, I remain organized in sending emails, marking attendance, collaborating new ideas and fundraising opportunities, and encouraging others. I am an effective communicator as I understand that each voice matters. I do not speak just to hear my own voice, and I value the thoughts of others. I speak up when I have

In the last four years, she has volunteered at various community events including, Relay for Life, Texas A&M Lil’ Anglers fishing tournament, George puls scholarship tournament, numerous beach cleanups, Loaves and Fishes Thanksgiving Dinner, Vacation Bible School at First Baptist church, and the Coastal bend walk & roll celebration. She is now employed at the Aleman Allstate Agency. Camryn would like to follow in the footsteps of her mother and uncle and attend Texas A&M University and become a member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie class of 2022! At Texas A&M she will major in Psychology to later become an occupational therapist. Her desire is to help those in need while also giving back to the community. Camryn would like to thank her parents for all of their love and support, her dance instructor for all the help she has provided, and LULAC Council No. 1 for this opportunity to grow and learn how to be a leader. Finally, she would like to thank her Sponsors for their support during this time. She wishes the best of luck to all the contestants

Over the past two years (2014-2016) I have participated in the National Junior Honors Society. As a member, I commit to completing community service and to learning among my peers in order to develop into a superior leader. I have taken part in activities such as fundraisers, team building activities, and several forms of community services such as working in a soup kitchen, daycares and organizing social events. Recently, I volunteered for a week as a vendor at a temple in Tacoma, raising money for the establishment during the Cambodian New Year festival.

The two defining moments in my scholarly life that define what my character consists of are the months as a coach for the U-9 R.I.S.C. Takers Soccer team as well as my trip to the village of Cuajiniquil, Costa Rica with the National Geographic summer community service program. Both of these instances have taught me valuable life lessons, including my responsibility as a role model for young children, the importance of giving back to our community, and the acceptance of other cultures, practices, and behaviors. This is what make me who I am and a very qualified candidate for the title of National Honor Society Member.

“Next up, Congratulations to Matthew Collier!”... it is time. The moment you have been waiting for three years now, or what felt like and eternity. The crowd is clapping for you as you get up from you seat and walk up to the principal wearing your gown from head to toe. You can see you parents in the crowd have tears roll down their eyes in happiness. As you grab your diploma, you think to yourself how fast middle school went. You have flashbacks from when you have just entered this school in 6th grade and thought to yourself that you have plenty of time in middle school and there is no need to rush. However, now that you are finishing up your last day of 8th grade and heading off to high school, you want to leave a legacy which your teachers

Of course, I also wish to help the Andrews’ community and the Medford community with the fundraisers and donations the NJHS organizes. My academic success and accomplishments in middle school are very important to me. I received High Honors on my report card every quarter in sixth grade. I have maintained Honors and High Honors on my report cards in seventh grade as well. In my sixth grade math class I had a ten test streak of 100%.

First of all, I would like to thank you for taking me into consideration as a nominee for the National Honor Society of Coolidge High School

The Anna Dale Dalton Competitive Scholarship Award on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated would invigorate my determination to change the community around me. I always strive to serve my community in four tiers. The first tier, Scott County High School, is the most immediate to me. In the past year I have established a library of resources solely dedicated to Advanced Placement, SAT, and ACT review materials that any student has access to. I have done this because Scott County High School has the largest Advanced Placement Program in the state of Kentucky, one that I have helped nurture for the past three years through my position as President of Advanced Placement Advisory Council. When the school board refused to allow the

Through National Honors Society, I have gained self-confidence, empathy and respect not only for teachers, but also for employees who diligently fulfill their responsibilities. Volunteering allows participants to perceive certain situations from different perspectives and therefore has allowed me to enhance my understanding of the plights teachers and young students may encounter on a daily basis. From grading a gigantic stack of assignments to engaging in mundane tasks such as tearing out multiple worksheets from workbooks, there are many events that occur outside of typical school hours that I would not have been able to witness and learn from had I not been an active member of National Honors Society. Likewise, now reflecting on all my volunteering at my local

Throughout the past four years of high school, I have done my best to try and stay actively involved in the community. I have been presented with some amazing volunteer opportunities such as Huron Safety Town, STAR Leadership Camp, American Red Cross, and Huron High School Girl’s Basketball Biddy Program. I spent over 24 hours at Huron Safety Town where I was able to help young students, mainly those going into Kindergarten, learn how to stay safe while on the road. I was also able to spend over 24 hours at STAR Leadership Camp where I was a councilor to those going into the sixth grade. I made sure that each student understood the importance of being a leader in today's society and how important they are to Huron’s community. Through National Honor Society I have been able to maintain in constant contact, approximately 10 hours, with the American Red Cross by volunteering in monthly blood drives. I have also dedicated 16 hours of my time to those young girls interested in someday being a varsity basketball player through the Biddy Basketball Program.

Knowing that a faculty or staff member from Brazosport College believes that I deserve to receive the Distinguished Student Award is an extreme blessing to me. Working three jobs and handling a full-time school schedule is not an easy task to handle; however, I have been able to accomplish great things throughout my educational career at Brazosport College. I am currently a Representative for the Student Government Association, Phi-Theta Kappa member, Student worker in the Institutional Research department, and I have been on the Dean’s list for the 2015-16 semesters. Long nights and early mornings have come along with these accomplishments, but I am determined to turn my dreams into a reality and give back to the community that has granted me amazing

I would like to say thank you for everyone coming out to west tonight, either you’re supporting your daughter, Future Falcons, or Mrs. Sinksen, it doesn’t go unnoticed. So thank you once again. I would also like to talk a little bit about Mrs. Sinksen. First, I would like to say Mrs. Sinksen is one of the most kind hearted people I have met in my life. It hit me hard knowing that the unspeakable happened to her. Bad things happen to good people, it’s truly not fair. As i’ve been getting older I realized something about teachers. Teachers don’t only teach you a certain subject, but they teach you far more than that. Teachers believe in you from the start, the day you walk into their classroom, they already see a fire in you that you don’t see
