I am the lead designer and manufacturer of our cardboard boat for the yearly cardboard boat race, tutor for math, and will participate in math competitions.
As a part of Mu Alpha Theta, I plan to compete in regional math competitions, such as Math Super Bowl, and host an occasional tutoring session before school.
To be a part of FHA, I had to regularly attend the class and would complete actives as per the teachers request.
In FFA, I competed in a small builds competition and fund-raised for the club. I also regularly attended meetings and helped organize events.
In Science Club, I would go to the meetings and participate in the experiment being held to develop understanding in a range
The Easter egg hunt was designed for children in the church community. Another event I volunteered in was making prayer blankets for the homeless. A prayer blanket is two pieces of fabric connected by knots, and with every knot tied, a prayer is said for the person the blanket is going to. I also participated in volunteering for the vet. Similarly, my family was a member of the Missouri House Rabbit Society and fostered a total of eight bunnies. We eventually adopted two bunnies named Shannon and Clover. I love to make a difference in my community, even if it was a small deed.
Students will be able to listen to my questions about division and listen as I explain how to solve different division problems and place the quotient in the correct place value position.
I have attended the FFA welcome back barbecue at the beginning of the year. I worked and rode on the FFA float for the homecoming parade. I have also sold tickets to the pulled pork barbecue and the annual big breakfast. I worked two shifts at the ice cream booth at the harvest festival and participated in the apple/orange picking for Christmas baskets. I was also at the Greenhand and Chapter degree
Throughout high school 4-H and FFA were both very important to me. These organizations fueled my love for agriculture and ultimately were instrumental in deciding my college major. I am an Agriculture Communication major with a Food Science minor. I love and communication goals, and objectives to others and I this is why public relations is the dream job for me. I am very interested in the sheep industry and love helping my nine year old sister and other livestock exhibitors with their show animals. If I am not with friends, working on school work, involved in organizations, you can
During my Junior year at Colfax High School, I was recruited into a new program called Link Crew which is a freshman transition program that welcomes incoming freshmen and makes them feel comfortable and supported throughout the first year of high school. This program was not only a club but also a class called Wings in which we would precisely plan Academic Follow Up's (AFU) for the freshmen, and organize events such as a Haunted House and a Blood Drive for the whole school. Also during my Junior year, I joined the Leo's Club which is a student run club that's purpose is to perform service projects within our school and community. I was able to become a certified volunteer of Colfax and Meadow Vista once I had not only met, but exceeded the minimum of 35 hours of volunteer work. Outside of school, I became interested in snowboarding which allowed me to get a seasonal job at a Ski
My involvement in the FFA has given me many opportunities for service including being involved in the Farm Bureau's Farm Field Days in Utah County at Harward Farms where the local FFA chapters help teach second graders about agriculture. At Snow College with the Agriculture Club that hosts the FFA Field, club members help FFA Advisors with directing a mock Career Development Events contest for students. For my Human Development and Into to Education classes I helped students in a Sixth Grade class at Mt. Pleasant Elementary with Math and Science questions they had during class time.
Above the chapter level activities such as Mcdermont Field House, Adventure Park, and Roller Towne at the sectional level, to regional activities at FFA Grizzlies night and Fresno State Football, even the World Ag Expo all gave me a chance to meet new people and increase my involvement in our program. FFA has also allowed me to opportunity to enhanced my personal leadership qualities, especially through the opportunity to attend conferences such as the Greenhand Leadership Conference, the Made For Excellence Conference, the Advanced Leadership Academy, and the State FFA Convention, all of which I have attended, and some of which I have attended more than once. FFA has taught me responsibility through my service as a Chapter Officer and through the community activities I have participated in. From working at elementary schools through our Ag leadership class’ PALS (Partner’s in Active Learning Support) program, working community events such as dinners and booths at Relay for Life, and serving as a table leader at the middle school’s Character Counts programs, I have made myself available and useful to various aspects of our
The Future Farms of America or the FFA is the extracurricular activity that has affected me the most in my high school years and my life thus far. Many people may think that the FFA is only an organization of farms that go around judging cows and grow plants but we are much more than that. Through FFA, I have been able to come out of my comfort zone, take a leadership position, and learn to give back to the community. Meeting new people through all the competition the FFA does and working with members in my chapter caused me to make new friends who slowly help me out of my comfort zone. I even gave a speech in front of my whole about how FFA can cause anyone to step out of their comfort zones leaping out of the zone myself in that moment. As
I raised commercial heifers and steers for several years, some being successful and some not as much. But all those years and activites ago, I never imagined I would be have taken on the challenges and leadership roles I have been audacious enough to face. The National FFA Organization is my most prideful youth-led organization I am apart of. I entered the FFA under the Diboll FFA Chapter my freshman year and am thankful for all of the opportunities and experiences I have received. Every year I have participated in different competitions that have developed my leadership skills and will help me in my future for career and life success. I also am an exhibitor in major and county livestock shows. I grew up raising cattle for the local county fair every year and it has been something I have truly loved to do. I have shown heifers and steers throughout my FFA career leaving with a banner almost every year. After so many years of competing and getting my name out, this is what I am mostly known for in my local show and
Promoting FFA is something am always doing. I am always looking for kids that are interested in joining FFA and telling them about my experiences in it. For example, Last year I helped put together four middle school horse judging teams. I gave them the information they needed to study, explained why it would be beneficial, and told them how much fun they would have.
Yes. At my high school, I’ve participated in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) course as well as been a part of the CyberPatriot and Academic Bowl teams offered by the organization. Unfortunately, I could only spend two years of my high school career in that organization due to the lack of schedule space. I’ve also been a part of the International and National Honor Society clubs. The International Club was a club of students that helped to promote and express the different cultures at my school. As for the National Honor Society, we’ve helped the community by completing service projects, such as the Ronald McDonald House t-shirt sale and the Relay for Life event. In terms of school teams, I was a member of the Scholastic Competition
and not fall victim to the dangers of peer pressure. The Alpha Epsilon Rho are the ideals by which Alpha Phi Gamma Sorority, Incorporated has set its foundation. There are seven points and they are to reflect in the different aspect of a person who wants become or is a part of Alpha Phi Gamma Sorority, Incorporated. The seven points of the Alpha Epsilon Rho are dedication, honesty, humility, patience, pride, respect and unity. I do not think the Alpha Epsilon Rho was written down the way it was for the sake of alphabetizing. I think the Alpha Epsilon Rho was written the way it was to depict the different phases we are going to go through in this process. I can apply the Alpha Epsilon Rho to the rest of the process by starting off with the first
Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs and organizations to help me become a leader in my community. At Auburn High School I took on the role of being a Publicist officer for National Technical Honors Society the first two consecutive years that it became a part of our school. I gained a lot of leadership experience through this club. Implementing a new organization is never easy and takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the leaders of the club. By being a part of a very helpful, dedicated and motivated team, we helped affiliate all the eligible members into the club and in turn helped introduce this new club to the school. As publicist my role in helping the club grow was crucial; I helped in publicizing the clubs various projects and involvement.
I raised money for scholarships to camp; helping hundreds of kids come to camp that would be unable to afford it otherwise. Development of a diverse staff was important to me. So I recruited, interviewed and hired central city staff to be part of camp. This involved going to their neighborhood for interviews because they had no means of getting to camp.
We have begun to visit national meetings, bringing our message of the joy of mathematics to a wider audience. The Young Innovator’s Fair in King of Prussia Pennsylvania, and the annual meeting of the National Association for Gifted Children saw hundreds of visitors to our exhibit booths.
