During my high school career, I have been involved in numerous activities. One of my favorite and most impactful activity was FFA. I have participated in many career development events and have competed successfully on the state level. I have been a team member of the state winning Ag Issues and Parliamentary Procedure team. Also, I have won the state Prepared Public Speaking contest as well as earning a national semi-finalist title. In addition, I have achieved leadership positions. I have served as my chapter’s Reporter and a mentored Agriculture 1 students. Another pivotal activity that I have participated in is 4-H. During 10 years of membership, I have served as my club’s Reporter, Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice President. Six of my static
for four years I have been an active member in,the Edmond FFA and FFCLA.Within these four years I have involved myself in the Edmond FFA Farm Business Management Academic Team and as a goat livestock showmen for two years. I have involved myself in two different Edmond schools FCCLA’s, within all four of these years, I have become apart of the club officer team, Star Event, been a representative in many District 3 meetings, including the leadership conference. During the summer, for every year for six years I involved myself in teaching Vacation Bible School, in both Texas and
I am involved in 4H. I’m second year president of the Howard Center Stars 4H Club. I stared 4H over six years as way to advance my artistic skills and to help the community. Now as club president, I am directly involved with planning our club community projects. In the past year I have organized and participated in two club community projects; making malts for Cresco’s 150th town celebration and a canned food drive for the local food pantry. It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to give back to your community and encourage others to do the same as well. I also use my position as president to help and encourage younger members to participate in several 4H activities and to develop their interests through project areas. I have developed my interest
Within the past two years, I have been involved in numerous amounts of volunteer work and extracurricular activities. I sought out to join Key Club, Future Farmers of America, and Furry Friends because they all shared the same intention of bettering my community. In FFA, I fought to become the secretary because I wanted to utilize my high position to take steps towards improving my community and organize events in which we would volunteer. With my help, we hosted a dinner where we provided food for the homeless, fed our local firefighters, and participated in wrapping stations where all proceeds went to charity. Key Club acted as another outlet to better my community. I partook in events such as creating Easter baskets for underprivileged children,
I enrolled in the Ace's 4-h Club as a little ten year-old boy. Throughout the past nine years, 4-H has grown me into the leader I am today. In my early years of 4-H, I served as a recreation leader and treasurer of our 13 member club. In my high school years, I have served my club as a Vice President for two years, and taking over the role of President for this past year. Holding these higher officer positions forced me to talk for the entire meeting, discussing business and planning acitvities with my fellow club members. I have enjpyed going to club meetings and activities for the past nine years. At the county level, I have been involved in woodworking, photography, and home-improvement projects, along with showing pigs and cattle. I have
I am a hardworking-dedicated student, who focuses on my studies, yet I have enjoyed every second of being involved in extracurricular activities. I am enrolled in all honors, dual credit, and AP courses. While at Preston High, I was a varsity football and basketball cheerleader. I also ran the 200m sprint and pole vaulted on the varsity track team. I adapted excellent leadership skills through Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). I attended the National FBLA convention
I was a C average student in Jr. High. That's why I set a goal for myself the last day of my middle school career--”get straight A’s in high school”. At the time it seemed more like a “set your goals higher than you think you can accomplish” kind of task. It wasn't something that I truthfully felt I could obtain. Little did I know, I was greatly doubting my abilities as a student. Every hour of homework quickly paid off. When I received my first report card, my mother had the brightest look of pride in her smile. She was relieved that I was able to break the family habit of slacking off in high school. Many family members before me have succumbed to a life of just getting by. I chose to deviate from that philosophy, then, and now. They call
A decision that will last a lifetime my parents had to make was a name between Alexis and Malori. I was four days away from being Alexis. I am Malori Kristine VonTobel and active within the school. I participate in Sunshine Society, Student Council, Pep Club, Knitting Club, Drama Club, volleyball, cheerleading, and swimming. Being this active and still having time to complete my senior project shows how determined I am with anything I do.
I have been very involved in my school these last four years. I have served on student council for three years and currently student council secretary. I have been a class officer for two years. FFA is an organization that has been really important to me throughout my high school career. In FFA, I have been the chapter president and secretary. I’ve had the chance to be on the Iowa FFA Program of Activities Committee. I have also received all of the possible degrees at the high school level. I have been involved in band and jazz band. I have been a student ambassador for three years. I am a two year letter winner in track.
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 a freshman, I didn’t realize how much FFA was going to mean to me. However, being the competitive person I am, I started learning parliamentary procedure. That was my first goal, learning and being good at the contest. We lost my first year, but that just pushed me further into my mindset of what kind of member I wanted to be. That is when I really started being involved. I studied parliamentary procedure harder than ever and even got involved with the Livestock Evaluation CDE. Having the best intentions and such an increased interest helped my team and I win states and head to nationals for parliamentary procedure. I also placed 23rd as an individual and was on the fourth place team at the end of my sophomore year for state Livestock Evaluation. The following year, I was 12th place individual in that contest. During this time is when I really set major goals to ensure that agriculture would be a major part of the rest of my life. I have received awards such as Star Junior, Sheep Production Proficiency, and Diversified Livestock Production Proficiency. I have made myself available for most opportunities. I have applied to a great agriculture program to continue my studies. I have many small and large goals to reach along the way. This spring, I am continuing my competitive interests by competing in the National Land Judging Contest in Oklahoma. I plan on applying for state proficiency awards and running in the election of WV State Officers for
During my high school career I was academically involved with organizations such as Future Farmers of America, Future Business Leaders of America, Students Against Destructive Decisions, and Robotics. I gained a position as Chapter Reporter with FFA my junior year and also played on Center High Schools varsity golf team for three consecutive years. One of my long term goals is to gain an Environmental Science degree here at Lamar University so I can educate the future population on how to lessen their carbon
Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.
Growing up in a household with a mother that did not finish high school and a father that did not finish elementary is not an ideal upbringing for any child. I grew up economically impoverished for the majority of my life, and my parents tell me they attribute this to the life choices they made in their youth when they came to this country. Today, I use these circumstances not to debilitate my confidence, but rather as motivation for me to strive for what I once imagined insurmountable.
During my High school career I was involved with multiple extracurriculars. I played volleyball for 3 years, my Freshman, Sophmore and Junior year. I played soccer for the last 3 years and will be my fourth this spring. I volunteer at my Church, St. Joesph Catholic Church and teach kindergardeners about faith for all my 3 years plus this year. I am a nane to 3 kids this past fall and summer. I play travel soccer this fall aswell. I am envoled in Key club and Arbor club.
Throughout high school, I have been a part of three extracurricular activities: History Club, Cultural Diversity Club, and the Writing Center. In all three, I have tried to be as active as possible. Being Vice President of the Cultural Club for two years, I have had to be proactive in recruiting new members, fundraising, and putting on our annual Cultural Fair. While not a leader in the other two, I have certainly worked just as hard to be an active member. I consistently strived to complete the project for which I volunteered in History Club and help those who sought my help in my capacity as a consultant in the Writing Center. All three of these clubs have asked of me a great deal of attention and to all three I have dedicated myself to the
