Mu Alpha Theta Reflection

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.

Using my leadership qualities to encourage others and uplift their abilities to their fullest potential will create a successful year for National Honor Society. Taking a leadership role in my freshman and sophomore year as a treasurer in Student Council has benefited my outlook of what it means to be a leader. As a treasurer, it’s my duty to have a clear vision of what is desired to be completed to benefit the whole class of 2019. I got out of my comfort zone and made a positive difference. I have continued to take up my leadership roles by running for officer positions and taking initiative by becoming chairpersons for multiple committees in student council. I built up confidence that leads to embracing change to council to benefit everyone’s participation and working

As a committed member of the SGA/Leadership class, I was taught to lead by example. I achieved missions to instill values of integrity, passion, and service as I cooperated that into my school and community. The class handed me the opportunity to host school-sponsored events while giving me a hands-on, authentic opportunity to learn and develop leadership skills for the future and put the skills learned into practice through the coordination of planning and implementing events. I was nominated to chair numerous committees. Through delegating tasks, working tight-knit with others, laying a foundation for rules, integrity, and values, I earned credibility. My leadership skills spoke "do as I do" and not "do what I say" which enabled others

I have demonstrated excellence In leadership by being in Future Business Leaders of America ever since I was in my freshman year. I became secretary my freshman year, vice president my sophomore year, and will have acquired the privilege of becoming President my senior year. Being in FBLA has helped me not only grow as a member, but as a leader. Throughout my growth inside the club, I have been able to encourage others to join extracurricular activities, developing my interpersonal skills. Community service has also been a major part of my High School career. Whether it’s first preparing and painting the posters for an activity we are having, to being in charge of a fundraising event, my goal has always been to try to impact the community breaking

“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others” according to Bill Gates, while John Maxwell tells people that “Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.” Neither of them completely capture leadership, but at the same time, neither of them are wrong. To be a leader, one must empower and influence those they lead in order to get the results they want. Neither one mentions that a leader must be confident in themselves and show others that they are confident with the decisions they make for themselves and others. As president of the Italian National Honor Society at my school, it is my job to promote excellence in the course, as well as in the community. Since our society values giving back to the community, we put an emphasis on community service. Many of the other students in the society worried about completing their hours. I showed them that they did not need to worry about getting their service hours by completing all of my required hours for both National and Italian Honor Societies before the end of November.

In addition to scholarship, National Honor Society emphasizes community service. I have a passion for service and have been involved in service projects through my church, Dance Team, FFA and 4H. As I reflect on all of the community service events I have assisted in, I have realized that each time I have helped others, I have grown as a person. I have learned to be appreciative of all of the opportunities that my situation has provided for me. Leadership is yet another quality that National Honor Society builds. I have worked on developing my leadership skills through my participation in 4H, church youth group, FFA, and dance. I would like to gain more leadership experience by helping to organize the activities that National Honor Society has throughout the year. A positive character is recognized and developed by National Honor Society. I strive to always maintain a good character. I work hard and try to be a positive role model as a student, employee, volunteer, and friend. Character is important to me because of the leadership position I am put

I have a passion to change people’s lives. Therefore I am deeply honored to have been chosen out of a few hundred to have the opportunity to be part of the National Junior Honor Society. This experience would teach me much more about being a leader. I feel I would be an important asset to your team, and I hope you will consider having

I have taken an active role in many clubs and various activities during my high school career. I have donated most of my time, however, to the B+ club, as a leader sophomore and junior year and co-president senior year. B+ is an organization that raises funds for families battling pediatric cancer and for cancer research. The main event for our B+ club is the annual student-run volleyball tournament during the winter; it’s such a fun night filled with friendly rivalries on the court while thousands of dollars are raised for the organization. During my sophomore year, I helped implement a new “care package” program, which I have led and we have continued ever since. We fill the “care packages” with games, candy, blankets, and more, and given

Throughout my school years, I have always tried to be a positive role model for younger students as well as my peers. This year I decided that the best way to serve my school was to participate in our school’s Student Leadership Council. It has proven to be a fantastic decision for me. I succeeded in getting the most votes out of all of the candidates and have had a great experience taking a leadership role in my school. I feel like I have become a much better leader and role model because of Student Leadership Council. I have been really fortunate to be exposed to the Jeter’s Leaders program, since they come to our school to mentor us as SLC members. It has been an incredible experience, and I would really love to continue with it. As an eighth grader at Saint Augustine, we are required to mentor our younger students. I

As a leader, I try to inspire and have an influence on people. I see leadership as a responsibility to be a good role model for others. Therefore, from the people I have interacted with, I make sure no one is afraid to say or give an opinion on something and I’m there to listen. For example, in National Honor Society we learn the principles which are scholarship, service, character and most importantly, leadership. As the Vice President of National Honor Society, I have hope for success in each member. This year the president and I have teamed up to create new opportunities for all of the members of National Honor Society to contribute to our community. Not only do they lend a hand, but they are also willing to come up with new ideas to help,

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.

National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society alike have provided the best opportunities for personal growth for a few reasons. As members, we sacrifice our time for the betterment of others. It is rewarding to help those in need without seeking credit.​ National Honor Society allowed me to reach out to those very close and dear to me in the community, while National Technical Honor Society helped me reach out to communities outside of Dansville, that I would have never had the opportunity to help otherwise. Both chapters were very influential in developing maturity, accountability, and selflessness. Additionally, being the Treasurer of National Honor Society has given me the opportunity to take on a leadership role. Stepping

Being an older sister, friend, and active student in and out of the classroom, I’ve oftentimes been the person that others look up to for advice or ideas. One specific area that I am a leader in is the Cherokee Art Club. This year I was named group leader, which is a person that guides fellow club members by giving them directions, providing support and encouragement, and making sure that everything is going as planned. I was appointed to this position because of my dedication and effective leadership skills last year. Because of all the clubs and activities I’ve been apart of, I became a very confident and effective leader. Even though it wasn’t an easy feat, it is extremely valuable thing to offer to the world and to the National Honor

Student Council and the National Honor Society both share a common purpose: helping others. I have been a representative for my grade in Student Council for three of my high school years and a National Honor Society member for two. In the National Honor Society, I have served as president throughout my senior year. Coincidentally, one of the four pillars of the National Honor Society is service, a component in a good citizen. As a National Honor Society president, I have helped coordinate a blood drive and assisted in others, provided support to the students who struggle socially or academically, and coordinated award presentations to a majority of the student body. The other side, Student Council, has also provided for me a way to help others and be a good citizen. Through Student Council, I have displayed citizenship through boosting school morale, volunteering for various school events and creating and approving new, innovative plans to make school life better. As an active, volunteering student, I hope that I made a positive impact, big or small, both inside and outside of the

The institution I have attended for the last two years is a very focused yet disconnected box. This is understandable as lot of the students are older, more experienced, and already involved their field of choice moving towards a known objective with little time to focus elsewhere. However, as a younger student, this institution is a dead end. I have almost completed my associates degree and can not continue my education at Wayne County; at least not in an academic path that is desirable to me. I have participated in both social and academic programs such as the college's bowling team and SSS (Student Support Services). As well as becoming a member of my community college's chapter of Phi Theta Kapp.
