My Journey For A Vacation Bible School

Firstly, in my Academic Career, I have held a multitude of leadership roles. My sophomore year , I was a class representative for Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America, commonly known as FCCLA. It was my duty to alert members and keep them up to date regarding meetings and activities. As a representative of FCCLA, I learned how to work as a unit leader and a team member.That same school year, I ran for the district office of secretary for FCCLA. The nomination and election process, gave me the opportunity to grow and nurture my leadership abilities. It was eminently challenging; but I learned the importance of discipline and hard work. I accomplished my goal and was nominated Secretary for FCCLA. This office allowed me to meet plenty

In 6th grade, I was chosen to participate in a leadership program at Richard Hull Middle School. At this program, I worked with girls who possessed similar leadership qualities, and I learned more about what it is to be a good leader. This leadership position taught me what makes a good leader. For my three years in high school, I dreamed to be in NHS. This is not only a role, but also a responsibility. This past year, I was selected as one of four board members of the Youth Church Committee. I was placed in charge of organizing quiz meet, dance, and banquet programs in which it would occur at various times throughout the

For as long as I can remember, I have always volunteered to lead in all of my classes. For example, I lead the yearbook Instagram account which requires a lot of effort and responsibility, but I am committed and never forget to post the photo of the week or spirit day photos. I also raise my hand anytime a teacher asks for a group leader for a project, activity, etc. All throughout elementary school, I took every opportunity I had to be a part of student council. In fifth grade, I got to be the historian. I have lots of experience leading the school with the responsibility of being the historian. Although that is nothing compared to the hard work ASB puts into our school every day, I do have experience being a leader in other ways such as former student council and at

Last two years I received a commendable G.P.A of 4.0. As a leader, I hope to be able to use my power to aid in the uplifting of others. I hope to prove myself to be a good example and mentor for those who seek help. My leadership in my temple played a large role in my life. I have headed many activities for the youth groups, including, talent shows, story hour, and lock-ins. I believe that leadership is not about one person dictating, but rather that it is a team effort. As I participate in activities where I am the leader I make sure that I work with my peers and listen to their ideas in hopes that we can join together to devise a creative plan of

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

Description: One Sunday, every month, I help in the nursery at my church. This shows leadership because I teach the children right from wrong. I also play with them and entertain them.

Acting as a leader in an international organization called Cru is a human service activity I participate in while I am an undergraduate student. I am a professing Christian. Cru's mission is for everyone on Grand Valley State University's (GVSU) campus to know someone who is faithfully following Jesus. The movement has a deep commitment to learning about God and caring for people; I align with these core biblical truths. As stated, I am a student-leader in the movement at GVSU. My role to is lead a freshman community group, disciple (spiritually mentor) faithful students in the movement and give some talks. God has used Cru to aid in discovering who I am and why I was created. Entering freshman year, I was lost and didn't know who I was. All throughout high school, I was an athlete. I began searching and thinking critically about what I believe and who I wanted to become. I was attracted to Cru because they promote critical thinking, analyzing context and discovery. Additionally, Cru tackles hard life questions which leaves me desiring to continue learning.

My leadership qualities are exemplified by my involvement in the 4-H Hunter Safety Camp. This is a three day camp that combines the Hunter Education curriculum with hands on learning in field exercises. My involvement with the camp began in 2011, when I attended as a student and absolutely loved it. Every year after that I became more involved. The next year I was a youth volunteer and in 2013, the assistant coordinator. In 2014 I had the responsibility of coordinating and directing the statewide three day 4-H Hunter Safety Camp for 33 students (with a waiting list of 65). In each subsequent year I have continued to be the coordinator and director. Organizing this camp would become one of my biggest projects for the next three years. Despite my past experience, that first year I still did not completely understand the leadership and work required for coordinating and directing a camp.

One of the best experiences that I’ve had while doing community service is while I was volunteering at Vacation Bible School through my church. I helped elementary school age kids learn about religion while having a lot of fun. The creative activities that I helped make kept the kids engaged while still teaching them about the Bible.

Throughout my experience with my hometown church, I prepared and instructed religious lessons that were entertaining, but more importantly insightful to the youth of the church. Through acting, musicianship, and artistic qualities and strengths, our youth consistently performs for the congregation to express our faith and development as the future generation of this country. Ultimately, I believe I have been able to contribute in a innovative way. I believe my contribution have been informative and revolutionizing through a variety of entertaining and attentive methods. I wholeheartedly believe that my time as a leader in my hometown will eventually reduce the likelihood of these pupils committing wrongful acts and will increase the likelihood of these pupils to pursue a further commitment to religion and

Sunday afternoons, I had the responsibility of overseeing junior babysitters and the children while parents in the neighborhood held a local bible study. Unlike my prior experiences, I had to set an example for both younger leaders and the children, challenging me to examine how I led and taught the other leaders. The lessons and wisdom I gained also translated into my other activities. My interaction with young teenagers and small kids yielded an understanding that assisted me when I led my band’s trumpet section. The patience and communication skills I developed gives me a consistent advantage as a leader at school and in the community.

On my last mission trip, I learned that studying the Bible proves a vital piece of Christianity. For example, if a professor lectures a class on history, but he does not study on his material, he cannot defend what he teaches. So as a Christian, I must study the Bible to defend my beliefs. When I conversed to my neighbor once, he said that he did not believe in God and that he questioned why I should believe in God as well. To say the least, I felt quite lost. I did not know how to defend my belief, much less try to convince him why he should believe in God. After the mission trip, I studied my Bible more to have a better ability to defend and share my faith. Just recently, I attended a lock in and had the chance to help a younger student.

My initial misgivings soon dissipated, and the trip surpassed all my expectations. Spending time with the other youth and relating with the kids stood out as highlights of the trip. Traveling gave us plenty of time together, and we all thoroughly enjoyed learning about each other: our jobs, our goals, and our aspirations. I had grown up with most of them, but working together forged us into a team instead of just acquaintances. We needed each person’s skills, and we had to work together to get through the week. Everyone enjoyed helping teach the students at bible school, and we loved supervising the activities. During one activity, I let a little blind boy knock down a tower after we had finished with it. As he jumped up and down with excitement,

I want to go on this mission trip because as a christian I would like to exemplify the life that Christ lived through me. As a Christian it is our job to show the works of God and how he lived, when he walked the Earth. The mission trip is a privilege that comes once a year to me that I may be able to sacrifice my time to help someone else. This is also training me to become prepared when in time, in the future when I want to go to a long term mission. Missions is not for my own sake, but it's for God’s own glory and not mine. Mission’s also allows a strong and unbinding relationship with the people I go to the mission with.

I never thought to be a Christian leader. As a matter of fact, I am a person who did not know about God for 26 years. I was the center of my life, and there was no room for God to enter. Even when I was attending church service, I was trying not to be exposed to other church people. In other words, I was the kind of person who was afraid to walk into a life of faith. However, in the past three years, God has changed me in many ways, and showed me so many miraculous things. And, finally here I am. Being a Christian leader seems the most challenging job in the world. I am working as the chairman of a youth ministry, and walking on the path to be a church leader. When God called me to work for the
